Customer Reviews

An Outstanding Book!!

This book does an excellent job of providing extensive background for all the ideas and principles discussed in the Celesting Prophecy series. This book would be ideal to present to someone to introduce them to the history and background of current metaphysical thought.

About the range of human potentials and possibilities

It's no accident that the 20th century has witnessed a dramatic expansion of human experience: the authors contend that thousands of years of human progress has lead to this era which represents a transition in planetary evolution and the evolution of the human species. God And The Evolving Universe promotes the notion of a super-normal series of experiences, which are changing how humans understand their lives. Chapters explain the range of human potentials and possibilities.

Wanton Prophecy

This book is definitely a leap above the Celestine Prophecy. I like the central theory that peoples are encroching on a awareness of enlightenment. That however is the only misnomer of this book. I believe this is thought due to the intelligent life in the USA, however James is obviously not aware of world mental status. Many nations are in fact moving away from James theory, for example the middle east is reinforcing its traditional religious bonds forsaking evolutionary thought at the spiritual or individual level. I would love to agree with the authors, if I could then this book would be real, but it is not, it is hopeful that the world will wake up, I hope so to, we need more authors like this to enlighten those who are in fact slowing the evolutionary process. Example: September 11th 2001.I highly recommend a extraordinary book that is real and enlightening, for both world and mental peace, an unpredjudiced write, SB 1 or God by Karl Mark Maddox.

A great read!!!

Really enjoyed this book. It's clearly written for a curious, intelligent layperson, not scholars. Contains a great, concise, general overview of evolution, getting more specific as applied to the evolution of spiritual and philosophical schools of thought that have shaped our current ways of thinking, very clear presenations of many examples of ways in which we humans appear to be in the midst of (or quickly approaching) a period of rapid evolution in our awareness and capabilities, a significant number of practical ways a person might explore these ideas for him/herself, and a wonderful bibliography/recommended reading list . I found the book, enjoyable and inspiring, and would recommend it to anyone with a sincere interest in a greater understanding of the implications of individual, societal and global evolution of consciousness, and for people looking for ideas for participation and practice.
