The author describes how outer forms are actually projected images in a greater, formative mind - the origin of all form and rhythm. He expands on the insight that all creatures live not in a world of substance, but a world of being.
Lucidly and compellingly, he provides us with an entirely fresh natural history, discussing:
-
the origin of life and consciousness
-
the nature of mind, matter, energy and 'the laws of nature'
-
how all things are integrated in an intricate pattern of creation
Reviews: "While his preoccupation is with the undifferentiated One, Davidson revels in the diversity of the Creation. He writes from a love of nature, as a keen student of the detail of animal form and behaviour. His book is in part a celebration of the sheer cleverness in nature - evidence for him not only of design but of mind at work in the day-to-day life of all creatures.... Davidson writes with the conviction of privileged insight.... Written with passion and conviction. Davidson is a distinctive voice among those seeking to revive the ancient tradition of understanding nature as sacred, and many people will enjoy this exposition of nature as "the living, visible, garment of God"." ... "John Davidson has ... an exceptional gift in presenting a picture that is both illuminating and readable." ... "A good read and I found it difficult to put down.... This book is aimed at all with a predilection for natural mystic philosophy. If that does not mean you, read it anyway, and I doubt if you will ever view the universe in quite the same way again."
