Cosmogenesis refers to the origin and development of the cosmos. It derives from cosmogony, which is the astronomical study of the evolution of the universe and the origin of its characteristic features.
This book, by ecological anthropologist Richard Grossinger, is a meditation on the origins of the universe and life on Earth, the emergence of intelligence, and the relationship of our consciousness to the manifestations of reality.
“My premise is that reality is a manifestation, one of many,” he says. “Mind is what makes matter into matter.”
Dreamtimes and Thoughtforms begins with a discussion about the origins of the universe and sentient beings on Earth, then delves into dreaming, meta-sciences, UFOs, spiritiualism, phenomenology, and technocracy. It follows his previous book, Bottoming Out the Universe: Why There Is Something Rather than Nothing and progresses from his three-volume Dark Pool of Light, Volume One: The Neuroscience, Evolution, and Ontology of Consciousness.
