The understanding that the universe has been expanding since its fiery beginning 14 billion years ago and has developed into stars, galaxies, life, and human consciousness is one of the most significant in human history. It is taught throughout the world and has become a common creation story for nearly every culture. In terms of the universe’s development, humans are not only economic, religious, or political beings. At the most fundamental level, they are cosmological beings. Cosmogenesis is one of the greatest discoveries in human history, and it continues to have a profound impact on humanity. And yet most science books do not explore the effects it has had on human individual minds. In Cosmogenesis, Brian Thomas Swimme tells the story of the universe while simultaneously telling the story of the storyteller. Swimme describes how the impact of this new story deconstructed his mind then reassembled it, offering readers a glimpse into how cosmogenesis can transform one’s understanding of both the universe and the evolution of human consciousness itself.
