The Living Universe by Duane Elgin
Traditionally, science has regarded the universe as made up of inert matter and empty space. Duane Elgin brings together extraordinary evidence from cosmology, biology, and physics to show that the universe is not dead but rather uniquely alive, an insight that, he shows, is in harmony with all of the world's major spiritual traditions. He explores how this view radically transforms our concept of ourselves, our place in the cosmos, and the evolutionary trajectory of the human family. The nonliving view of the universe has led to rampant materialism and global environmental degradation. To transform our planetary crises we need to move past a paradigm of separation and exploitation and learn to live sustainably on the Earth, in harmony with one another, and in communion with the living universe.DUANE ELGIN is a well-known international visionary, lecturer, and author. He graduated from the Wharton Business School with an MBA and then went on to the University of Pennsylvania for an MA in economic history. He received an honorary PhD from the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco in 2001 for his work in ecological and spiritual change. Elgin was honored with the Goi International Peace Award in 2006 for his contributions to a worldwide vision, conscience, and way of life that promotes a more sustainable and spiritual civilization.
