Center for the Story of the Universe

The evolution and transformation of the universe, what Brian Swimme and Thomas Berry called "Cosmogenesis" in their book relating the story of the universe, proves more compelling than the guesswork that comprises our previous mythos.

That mythos has much to teach us about ourselves, but its lessons only become comprehensible against the backdrop provided by the investigative and historical sciences. Brian Swimme's various DVDs and CDs, especially the "Powers of the Universe" set, found at www.brianswimme.org, intensely and thoughtfully relate what we've learned about whence we came and where we might go together if we wake up to the wonder and the challenges of our steps not only to an ecology of mind but an ecology of mindful coevolution.

I was surprised that I found no mention of his work here and thought Ode readers would find him engaging. I think we should imbibe wisdom wherever we find it. Swimme is a Pierian spring for today.
