Böcker av James Cobban

Nursery of the Gods challenges the dominant scientific-materialist paradigm, and the alternative it offers may forever change how you view reality. For this book investigates a wholly new way of conceiving of reality, and though at times speculative, it is not a work of fiction - the ideas it offers are based on evidence, and that evidence is presented in a clear and compelling manner. The evidence has, in fact, never been clearer: the physical universe, and everything in it, arises from consciousness, and not the other way around. Consciousness is the basis of reality, and that changes everything - how we conceive of ourselves and the other consciousnesses with which we share the planet, what our purpose is in being here, the meaning of our work and relationships, and what awaits us after death. This first volume in the series examines the evidence and lays out the scientific basis for a consciousness-based view of reality, premised on the pioneering philosophical work of Jane Roberts, author of the Seth material.

Consciousness survives the death of the body - that much canbe asserted with near certainty, based on the evidence presentedin Volume One of this book. But if consciousness is independentof matter, then what is the purpose of physical existence? Whyshould consciousness ally itself with physical form in the firstplace if it is basically independent of it? To what end are weborn as physical creatures? According to Seth - that nonphysical"energy personality essence" who dictated The Seth Materialthrough the auspices of writer and mystic Jane Roberts - earthis a training system for emerging consciousness. Consciousnessis not static, but grows, evolves, and develops, and the physicalsystem is one arena of existence in which consciousness can gainexperience in the formation of reality. The human species, according to Seth, set out millennia ago to develop a specializedform of consciousness - an ego-identity - that could perceivephysical reality in a radically new fashion, different from theanimals, from a psychological perspective seemingly separatefrom the rest of the living world. Human consciousness wouldbecome the thinking portion of the earth, and could begin toconstruct, for itself and the other creatures of the earth, a phys-ical reality of the sort that a sane god would create. If Seth iscorrect, it should be possible to trace the emergence of this ego-identity down through the millennia, following its historicaldevelopment as reflected in our changing mythologies, and inthe societies that created them. This volume sets out on a questto follow the developing ego through history's pages, and endswith a revolutionary new understanding of our present culture, and the reasons behind our erroneous belief that consciousnessarises from matter, instead of the other way around.
