Description
When an egg cracks open,
new life emerges. It?s a fitting Easter symbol: On
Easter morning, the tomb cracked open and out walked
a newly alive Jesus, leaving behind an empty grave.
Use this unusually theme as an eye-catching,
thought-provoking invitation this Easter.
So true!

Exploring the
Crack in the Cosmic Egg: Split Minds &
Meta-Realities by Joseph Chilton Pearce
"An investigation of
non-ordinary reality." 1975. You can buy it second
hand from Biblio.com But then again you might not
want to after reading this
review:
Just started reading this one
last night. It has sat on my shelf for about two
years, and I think I know why. Big words. The book
is written in a style that is one of my pet
peeves: the author uses complex and relatively
difficult words to create complex and relatively
difficult sentences to get across a point that
could be said in much simpler language. Perhaps
the book should have been entitled:
Exploring the
Crack in My Cosmic Ego Trip. Ultimately an interesting
book, I'm not sure if I will be able to read it
due to series of sentences like:
"In the following
chapters I will show how culture forces each of us to
create this 'pseudoreality' structured around the
semantic effect of language, and how culture
'substitutes' a semantic reality for a direct reality
interaction. Culture's word-built world acts as a
stimulus substitute that replaces, changes, curtails,
or mutates stimuli from a real world. What we
experience as acculturated people is never the free
interaction with our life flow, that for which we are
designed by our 'primary programming.' Rather, we
experience a life flow filtrered through an ideation
scheme sharply altering our real
world."
I mean, damn. Why not just say: "We are disconnected
from true, immediate reality by the constructs of
culture." He'd still get to use some big phrases and
get his point across in a more concise way. Egghead.

Description writes: This enormously popular New Age
classic is finally available again to challenge the
assumptions of a new generation of readers and help
them develop their potential through new creative
modes of thinking. With a masterful synthesis of
recent discoveries in physics, biology, and
psychology, Pearce reveals the extraordinary
relationship of mind and reality and nature's
blueprint for a self-transcending humanity.
The classic work that shaped the thought of a
generation with its powerful insights into the true
nature of mind and reality.
The sum
total of our notions of what the world is--and what
we perceive its full potential to be--form a shell of
rational thought in which we reside. This logical
universe creates a vicious circle of reasoning that
robs our minds of power and prevents us from reaching
our true potential. To step beyond that circle
requires a centering and focus that today's society
assaults on every level. Through the insights of
Teilhard, Tillich, Jung, Jesus, Carlos Castaneda, and
others, Joseph Chilton Pearce provides a mode of
thinking through which imagination can escape the
mundane shell of current construct reality and leap
into a new phase of human
evolution.
