Creating
Consciousness Creating
Consciousness is
Albert Low's profound discussion of the philosophical, religious,
and scientific problem of consciousness in relation to evolution,
creativity, spirituality, and violence.
Low
weaves together fresh discoveries from contemporary thinkers with
perennial wisdom from premodern religious sources while providing
a highly original discussion of human nature. Low's main thesis
is that each individual is a divided reality. We are simultaneously
at the center (unified self) and the periphery (many dimensions
of self). The fact that we are one and yet divided leads to Low's
important discussion of ambiguity, creative tension, and violence
as integral to human existence.
