Format:Hardcover
I didn't find this the most readable of books initially, as I couldn't tell where it was going. But when I really got into it, I began to appreciate it. The subject-matter of the book affects all our personal lives - the very existence of the planet, and in fact has broad metaphysical ramifications. I haven't previously read any book quite like it.
The authors examine various myths entrenched in the basic beliefs of our civilization and challenge 1) the main tenets of Newtonian philosophy, basically that the only reality is physical matter 2) Charles Darwin's theory of evolution and the necessity for us to fight for our survival - survival of the fittest 3) the theory that we have all blindly accepted for years that we are controlled and limited by our genes and 4) that evolution and everything else that happens to us is random. Actually all these four premises have been proved by modern science to be fallacious, but our society is still acting on them as though they were true.
It is explained that evolution did not occur gradually but in great leaps. Single cells developed into single cell communities. These developed into multicellular organisms, which in turn developed into societal organizations.
That is, we did not evolve through competition and fighting but through cooperation and banding (bonding) together.
The crazy self-destructive way our human society is run is compared to the way the cells in our body run the show. Our cells don't fight and kill each other but pool their resources and work together for the health of the greater whole.
It's all explained at a very high level, and I would need to have read the book a couple of times more to even begin to give an adequate representation of the details or even all the main precepts of the book.
But what I got out of it was that at this critical juncture when both our living planet and ourselves are on the brink of a new evolutionary leap, we need to change our basic thinking, cooperate instead of fight, love instead of hate. In other words we need to follow the example of our own cells, and realize that we humans are also all part of one body, Gaia - and if we are to survive we must accept all other beings as necessary parts of ourselves, or our greater Self.
The key word to the success of this evolutionary leap is LOVE.
And when I read this book I felt the love and the high consciousness energy of the authors flowing from the pages, and I myself was helped in achieving a higher vibration. It is a book that contributes to harmonizing the head with the heart, which will be a necessary pre-condition for the survival of our civilization.
I strongly recommend this book to every thinking and loving person, and to all those who aspire to be such.

I don't think I've ever been so inspired a book. Well & intelligently written, it takes the reader on a journey providing rational reasoning for why we are where we are now. It also provides a path to a better future for all. Even if the rest of the world doesn't join in, you'll feel uplifted after reading it!

Format:Hardcover
The title "Spontaneous Evolution" might mislead one into imagining this to be another New Age book on how to kick start you life or even how to prepare for waking up as a five legged amphibian on 22 December 2012. But no.
This is such a relevant text for our times. It is easy to read. It is erudite and researched yet never patronizing. Drawing seamlessly from religions, physics (quantum and Newtonian), biology, genetics, politics, history, economics, etymology, philosophy, spiritualism, and present day situations it clearly pinpoints the critical state of global play today. If you are wondering why everything seems to be going to hell in a handcart just now, this clarifies matters.
This is not an instruction manual although it can be considered an invaluable companion for the current years. It gives clear conclusions and suggestions to help evolve more understanding of our existence; in doing this it leaves the reader to question further - and boy, do we need to ask some questions! The common sense and optimism of the book is similar to being in the company of one of those lovely people we meet sometimes who just make us feel better for having been talking with them.
Hard scientific facts entwine with ancient wisdoms and even history blends with biology as if to reinforce a central theme - everything is connected. The writing is delightfully leavened with dry humour, two of my favourite subheadings being: "The bad news is, there is no key to the Universe. The good news is, it has been left unlocked", and "The truth shall upset you free."
