| Notes | The "Seven Mysteries" are: "The Abstract Nature of the Universe", "The Interrelatedness of All Creatures", "The Omnipresence of Life", "The Polarity Principle", "Transcendence", "The Germination of Worlds", and "Divinity". The book discusses senses, super-organism, language, properties of the mind, and individual consciousness. His review of literature identifies some 32 senses, as noted online. In it he quotes a Serbian proverb which is seen as part of the heritage of the idea put forth as We are made of star stuff: "Be humble for you are made of dung. Be noble for you are made of stars." [wikipedia] "All life in all worlds" -this was the object of the author's seventeen-year quest for knowledge and discovery, culminating in this book. In a manner unmistakably his own, Murchie delves into the interconnectedness of all life on the planet and of such fields as biology, geology, sociology, mathematics, and physics. [goodreads.com] |
