ByPublisher Description
Communicating his ideas in the form of a classical dialogue between a youth and a wise elder, cosmologist Brian Swimme crafts a fascinating exploration into the creativity suffusing the universe. His explication of the fundamental powers of the cosmos is mystical and ecstatic and points directly to the need to activate one’s own creative powers.

“I think telling the big bang as though it is a creation story is a very interesting way to tell it! However, while the book argues for a less human centric view of the world, some of the way they describe human’s place in the world is very much prioritizing humans over other life, but not all the time. Interesting read and overall positive and encouraging.”

“An incredibly smart and fun reframing of what it means to be a human in our universe. This is my second Swimme book and once again, I’m left feeling inspired and seeing everything in a different light. I’d recommend this book to anyone, and then to follow up with Braiding Sweetgrass as supporting material. ⭐️”

“This thoughtful exploration of the meaning of the universe was very well done. Even if I did not agree with all of the opinions of the author, I felt that he did a great job sharing the beliefs he has about humanity in the context of astronomy. The fact that he holds a doctorate in his field of science and also has such a deep spirituality is very special; this book attests to his uniqueness of thought, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.”
