The God Code
by Gregg Braden
Sex, Ecology, Spirituality
by Ken Wilber
In a tour de force of scholarship and vision, Ken Wilber presents an extraordinary view of human potential and its place in the larger Kosmos. Wilber traces the course of evolution from matter to life to mind, and describes the common patterns that evolution takes in all three of these domains. In each case, evolution has a "direction," a tendency to produce more highly organized patterns. The "spirit of evolution" lies in its directionality: order out of chaos. After arriving at the emergence of mind, Wilber traces the evolution of human consciousness through its major stages of growth and development, pointing out that at each stage there is the "dialectic of progress"-every increase in consciousness is bought at a price: new freedom also means new license to choose destruction and new ways to implement disaster. He particularly focuses on the rise of modernity and postmodernity-what they mean, how they relate to gender issues, to psychotherapy, to ecological concerns, and to various liberation movements, and, most important, how the modern and postmodern world can even conceive of Spirit. How can spiritual concerns be integrated with the massive developments of the modern world? Where is God, where the Goddess?
God and the Evolving Universe
by James Redfield
In a world racked by violence and conflict, James Redfield and Michael Murphy-leading cocreators of today's spiritual boom-present a message of hope and a vision for the future.
A Brief History of Everything
by Ken Wilber
A friendly and accessible account of men and women's place in the universe of sex, soul, and spirit. Wilber examines the course of evolution as the unfolding manifestation of Spirit, from matter (the cosmos) to life (the biosphere) to mind (human consciousness). In each of these domains of evolution, he finds, there are recurring patterns, and by looking closely at these patterns, we can learn much about the predicament of our world--and the direction humanity must take if "global transformation" is to become a reality.
