At Home in the Universe

A visionary book on science and religion that invites us to see the cosmos with heart, not just with the mind. It takes a Jungian approach to God that stresses the immanence at the expense of the transcendence of God but tells the story of the unfolding cosmos in a wonderful narrative culminating in the 'godding' of humanity as we move towards greater integration and healing. Hard science, observes the author, deletes life, consciousness, meaning, freedom and love from its equations, but a re-envisioning with the heart sees the universe precisely in terms of these five. Psyche and Cosmos are interwoven in this vision, while obstacles, even disasters, provide opportunities for consciousness to awaken and develop. The purpose of creation becomes the fulfilment of love – openness, presence and work at healing our wounds. This is a richly textured book informed both by a physicist's knowledge and insights from depth psychology and spirituality.
