Counter-Cosmos is a book about mysticism with a scientific bent:
what science denies, so does the author. The West today is
unprecedentedly unspiritual, but the spiritual is part of mankind's
natural make-up: denying it leaves us incomplete and in danger of
disintegration. The book deals mainly with Western mysticism -
begins with Einstein, in fact - and so is comprehensible to Western
readers. Part One strips mysticism down to its basic elements:
there's nothing necessarily supernatural about it at all. What is
it? (What is it not?) What causes it? What is it like? What are the
benefits? What grades are there? How many people are mystics? Can
you be one without knowing it? Part Two is more personal and
explores those minor mystical events which light up daily life.
Partly, this is done through anecdotes from the author's experience
as the writer of a series of TV science documentaries. Partly it is
also done through short, blog-like analyses and comments on the
everyday happenings of a singlesummer. Counter-Cosmos is sequel to
Undertones: Mysticism in an Age of Umber.
