Stimulating and often startling discussions between three friends, all
highly original thinkers: Rupert Sheldrake, controversial biologist,
Terence McKenna, psychedelic visionary, and Ralph Abraham, chaos
mathematician. Their passion is to break out of paradigms that retard
our evolution and to explore new possibilities. Through challenge and
synergy they venture where few have gone before, leading their readers
on an exciting journey of discovery. Their discussions focus on the
evolution of the mind, the role of psychedelics, skepticism, the
psychic powers of animals, the structure of time, the life of the
heavens, the nature of God, and transformations of consciousness.
Reviewers write...
"Imagine sitting around a table with three of the leading intellectual and philosophical thinkers of today…you may not understand half of what they are talking about, but you get excited and inspired nonetheless. That’s how I felt reading The Evolutionary Mind, a pretty mind-blowing conversation between such visionaries as biologist and author Rupert Sheldrake, chaos theory pioneer Ralph Abraham, and the late psychedelic researcher and shamanism expert, Terence McKenna."
More from the Curled Up Online Review
“Three fine thinkers take us plunging into the universe of chaos,
mind, and spirit. Instead of leaving us lost, they bring us back with
startling insights and more wonder than we knew we had.” — Matthew Fox,
Original Blessing and Sheer Joy
“...records the exciting intellectual friendship of three amazing
minds pushing to the edge of history in search of new consciousness,
blending scientific observation, mythic imagination and visionary
speculation.” — Riane Eisler, The Chalice And The Blade
“...should be required reading for anyone who believes that science
and spirituality cannot and should not interact. Do something daring:
read this book, join the play, and go to the edge with them.”
— Larry Dossey, M.D. D., Recovering The Soul
“They have figured out how to achieve one of the best of all possible
worlds: the sharing of mental space and cosmic terrains over many
years of deep friendship and profound dialogue.” — Jean Houston
"A jam-session of the mind, an intellectual movable feast, an on-going
conversation that began over twenty years ago and remains as lively
and relevant today as it ever was. Sadly, Terence had to leave the
conversation a little earlier than planned. But the appearance of this
book of trialogues at this critical, historical juncture is a
reaffirmation of the potency of the optimistic vision that the
trialogues express." — Dennis McKenna, brother of the late Terence McKenna
Rupert Sheldrake is a biologist and author of many books including The
Sense of Being Stared At, And Other Aspects of the Extended Mind.
