Product Description
Book Description
Is there a code that explains the fundamental processes of life and evolution?
Michael Hayes reveals that there is, in a captivating journey through religious experience, astrophysics, spiritualism, molecular biology, ancient wisdom, quantum physics and history.
His discovery will change the way we look at the universe.
High Priests, Quantum Genes is an ambitious attempt to make sense of the world around us. There are distinct numerical patterns running through the symbolisms of ancient philosophies and religions the world over, and these same symmetries are apparent in many of the theories of supposedly ground-breaking science. So maybe science is only rediscovering through empirical research what the ancients understood intuitively.
The ordering principles of the universe appear to be mirrored in the structure of this numerical pattern and – perhaps most intriguing and uncanny of all – in the symmetries of music. Our notions of what is harmonious in music may therefore spring not simply from an abstract aesthetic sense but as a response to and an intuition of more fundamental harmonies.

Wisdom of the 'East' meets science of the 'West',
By
This review is from: High Priests, Quantum Genes (Paperback)
This contribution to modern thought, from Michael Hayes, is a hefty, detailed, admittedly controversial, and stimulating work. It is both a difficult book, yet an important book. I first came across Hayes's ideas in his earlier book - 'The Infinite Harmony' - 10 years previously (1994) and was greatly impressed by it. This present work, a decade later (2004), is equally impressive and uses the previous work as a springboard on which to develop. Saying this, much of the first book is alluded to here so reading it is not a pre-requisite.'High Prists, Quantum Genes' is heavily influenced by the teachings of Gurdjieff, as reported by Ouspensky - and the reader would benefit from a knowledge of these systems although, again, this is not a pre-requisite. The difficulty of this book - and also its great strength - lies in the author's ability to weave together strands of knowledge that underlie pivotal systems of esoteric knowledge (Hermetica; I-Ching; Egytian & Pythagorean metaphysics) with recent scientific findings in such fields as molecular biology (DNA); physics (Relativity Theory); and quantum mechanics (Non-locality, particle/wave duality) - and in a manner that is markedly more 'down-to-earth' than many modern authors in these fields. This is not another 'quantum psychology' book, nor 'Zero Gravity' speculation. It is a serious culmination of many varied mathematical, geometrical, and genetic truths/findings into a coherent whole. That Hayes has managed to provide an answer at all is an achievement. That he could do it with both feet firmly on the ground is of respect to the reader. If you are interested in Egyptology, psychological transcendence; holography; and the 'why' and 'where' of human and cosmic evolution, then try this book. It will tax you, yet it is, I feel, ultimately rewarding and of great benefit. I would wonder/ask whether Hayes has familiarised himself with JG Bennett's 'Masters of Wisdom' as well as the biophysicist Mae-Wan Ho who is doing some excellent research into 'quantum coherence' and 'biophoton emission' and the superconductivity of human cells and DNA. Books like this don't come around too often - perhaps this is because it requires conscious effort on behalf of the reader. Thanks for the book Michael.

Re-printed as "The Hermetic Code in DNA",
By Kevin Leahy - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: High Priests, Quantum Genes (Paperback)
Please be aware that this title has been re-printed and is available new as The Hermetic Code in DNA: The Sacred Principles in the Ordering of the Universe. I bought both books from Amazon, not realizing that they are identical (the page count differs because the newer edition has more "leading", or space, between the lines).
Michael Hayes wrote a real gem with this book and it is gratifying to see it in print again. |
