The Secret History of the Universe - Jonathan Black

The Secret History of the Universe

Is the material universe merely an illusion? Is there a higher intelligence guiding events? IS THE FUTURE, IN SOME WAY, ALREADY WRITTEN?

Could modern physics reveal that we are connected in ways that classical science deemed impossible? And that new forms of intelligence – divine, human, or potentially dangerous – are beginning to emerge around us? More than a conventional history of science, this book offers a provocative reading of human progress, showing how mysticism, imagination, genius, and madness intertwined in the lives of some of the great modern thinkers.

It is a work about the universe, but also about consciousness and the possibility that reality is much more mysterious, spiritual, and interconnected than the materialistic view led us to believe. From Marie Curie to the architects of artificial intelligence, passing through Carl Gustav Jung and Hilma af Klint, we can observe that contemporary science approaches many ideas already familiar to initiatory traditions, the builders of the pyramids of Giza, and the mysteries of the Temple of Jerusalem.
