Cosmosophy by John Toomey

Cosmosophy is a new way of looking at all phenomena-- from the most distant galaxies to the human brain -- so as to reveal how You are seamlessly integrated into the fabric of the Universe, which makes you a co-creator of its wonders. The word means 'the wisdom of the Cosmos', but it could just as easily be defined as the confluence between Cosmology, or the study of the Universe, and Philosophy, or the love of wisdom. The book begins by identifying four grand sagas which started long ago and continue to this the Big Bang, the evolution of Life, the development of the Primate brain, and Mythology. In all of these every one of us plays a part, not only as a spectator but as a protagonist. Then several 'BodyMind experiments' are presented, as ways to explore the nature of our connections to the Universe. These serve to expand the normal view of Mind as a computer, and invite us to see it also as a playground, laboratory, and theater.
