Falls from Grace

The Devolution and Revolution of Consciousness

SOUL AND CELL AND THE DEVOLUTIONAL MODEL OF CONSCIOUSNESS: THE RECONCILIATION OF PRENATAL-PERINATAL AND TRANSPERSONAL PSYCHOLOGY Prenatal spirituality and the devolutional model of consciousness compelled by it envision a revolution in child development, parenting, mental health, and spirituality. Falls from Grace presents such a radical theory of consciousness, evolution, stages of life, purpose of life, human nature, and the human species. Reporting on the latest understandings from consciousness research and experiential explorations into the human mind, it discloses awareness extending into womb and cellular states — sperm, egg, zygote, and blastocyst, for example — and even before conception. It is a comprehensive understanding, which basically turns everything we think is true on its head. Still, in doing so, it reveals previously unacknowledged positive and joyful possibilities of our human potential and indicates exactly where we need to apply our efforts to realize them ... to transform ourselves and the societies and world we live in. While Falls from Grace is a radical view, it is in line with mystical beliefs, Platonic thought, and even much of primitive or primal-like views of the world and Nature. In the end, Falls from Grace suggests a new renaissance on the horizon - a primal renaissance - as formerly discarded views are re-understood and integrated in light of new paradigm discoveries.
