Böcker av Wayne Omura

Evolutionary Consciousness ventures from the imaginary world of dreams out into the vastness of the cosmos. It shows how one's subjective experience is intricately enmeshed in the way we perceive the world. A new paradigm in science is emerging. This is a participatory universe in which, in some sense, the ideas of the mind mold and create what we take for reality."Idealism and primacy of consciousness is slowly but surely making a comeback after almost a sixty year steam-rolling progress of scientific materialism. The author Wayne Omura has an interesting take on the subject: he skillfully explores a dream metaphor that some mystical traditions propose for reality. I find it interesting and very readable, and you will too." - Dr. Amit Goswami, Quantum Physicist and author of Quantum Creativity: Think Quantum, Be Creative, and Quantum Economics: Unleashing the Power of an Economics of Consciousness"Wayne Omura's Evolutionary Consciousness takes the reader on a fascinating journey into dreams and the limits of consciousness. He asks us if the world itself is a dream and offers important insights into the ultimate nature of reality." - David Peat, author, physicist, Director of Pari Center for New Learning (Italy)"A tour de force. A guide on your path to understanding. Anyone who is committed to understanding their path through life would do well to build upon the foundations of Evolutionary Consciousness. It will tide you through puzzling and difficult times. You are not alone in your confusion. Find solace in what others have discovered on their journey through life. A scholarly review of the essence of existence." - Gerrit L. Verschuur, Ph.D. Radio astronomer and author of, among other titles, Hidden Attraction: The History and Mystery of Magnetism, The Invisible Universe: The Story of Radio Astronomy, and Is Anyone Out There?: Personal Adventures in the Search for Extraterrestrials."This is a very thoughtful and well-researched book that I am pleased to recommend to all readers interested in human consciousness and the study of nature." - William A. Tiller, Ph.D. Professor Emeritus, Stanford University, Department of Material Science and Engineering

pIn this introductory guidebook, Omura puts some very interesting films together in a meaningful order. As we consider these films with him, we are encouraged to relate them to deep questions about life./ppBruce Kaurin, author of iMindscreen/i and iHow Movies Work/i/ppWayne Omura's book provides succinct descriptions of the films he considers to be the most evocative of the human condition. A useful guide for all film lovers and those who wish to discover the enigma of living life through the movies./ppSuranjan Ganguly, Associate Professor of Film Studies, University of Colorado/ppThe movie is a vicarious experience. It is a substitute for so-called "real" life. And yet, this illusion can move one's soul. It can place one on the beaches of Normandy with shells exploding and bullets whizzing through the air. It can place one on another planet facing alien forms of intelligent life. The movie is a fantasy, a distilled form of imagination. We know where we are physically in reality. But if a movie is good, our mind is somewhere else. And if a movie is excellent, our spirit has also been released. On some occasions a movie can be incredible. In such an instance our soul can he transformed. These incredibly transformative movies form the core of this book: movies that convey visions of the meaning of life. They are the most profound films in cinematic history./ppFrom the iIntroduction/i/p
