The Radiance of Being offers nothing less than a portrayal of the full glory of Catholic tradition. From an initial engagement with the insights of the natural sciences emerges a spiritual vision of the metaphysical depth and dimension of mystery to the cosmos, allowing the reader's mind to awaken to the coherence, beauty, intensity of life, and depth of structure of the natural world--the holiness of creation and all contained therein. Conversant with Islam, Buddhism, non-dualist traditions, as well as myriad mystical elements and esoteric currents within Christianity, the author builds a brilliant symphonic work whose master theme is the Trinity. To the urgent questions asked--in response to the crises besetting the modern world--about the nature of reality and the meaning of existence, of what it means to be human, Stratford Caldecott puts forward a clear and compelling answer in language accessible to all: Being is radiant because it is a gift, not only from the Trinity, but also within the Trinity itself; and, in the end, the meaning of existence is love. "Stratford Caldecott is a great English visionary and a man of supreme courage. In short compass, this profound book, like no other, points the way forward for theology."--Catherine Pickstock "This wonderful new book is truly prophetic."--John Milbank "The Radiance of Being is an outstanding achievement and a major contribution to the serious Catholic literature of our time."--Wolfgang Smith "Stratford Caldecott's latest book is a true adventure of both mind and soul. Highly recommended "--Conor Cunningham "The Radiance of Being is a beautiful collection of essays."--Tracey Rowland "This is a wonderful book by an agile thinker on a theme of great importance."--David L. Schindler "The author of The Radiance of Being is one of the most important living exponents of Catholic metaphysics"--Adrian Walker (from the Foreword)

In this ground-breaking work, Allan Combs presents a wide-ranging survey of the nature and origins of consciousness research, viewing consciousness as a dynamic and self-organizing process with evolutionary potential. Combs reviews the work of evolutionary theorists such as Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Ken Wilber, Jean Gebser, and Sri Aurobindo. What emerges is a fascinating study of consciousness that discloses itself as a rich and ongoing act of self-creation, poised at the edge of chaos between past and future.

Ranging widely among Western scientific and analytic ideas and Eastern (Hindu and Buddhist) conceptions related to human consciousness, its nature, and origins, Combs (U. of North Carolina at Asheville) suggests that there is a lot less separating these seemingly incongruent ideas than we have previously thought. Throughout the discussion he clings to a process view of human consciousness that is consistent with his own background in chaos theory and the sciences of complexity.

We are all looking for fulfillment and peace amidst a rapidly changing and chaotic world. Radical Awakening is an invitation to dive more deeply into the mystery of existence as it is now, to be fully and unashamedly intimate with this very moment. The choice to embrace every moment offers you the opportunity to awaken from the dream of separation and realize that you are one with the divine essence that gives birth to all forms. When we see through the eyes of oneness, all inner and outer division dissolves and our relationship with life changes. We start to see that everyone and everything is a manifestation of the radiance of God (or Awakeness, Presence or Being). This realization has the potential to put an end to suffering, for each of us as individuals and for humanity as a whole. Written in an engaging and accessible style that sparkles with clarity and grace, the use of the word ?God? in this context is explained, and the book reflects the important changes in the author?s teaching in recent years as her own awakening has evolved. Practical as well as inspiring, this is a unique and compelling introduction to the world of nonduality, non-separation and our intrinsic oneness, which will support you on your path to inner joy and freedom.

A haunting, beautiful first novel by the bestselling author of A Long Way Gone When Ishmael Beah's A Long Way Gone was published in 2007, it soared to the top of bestseller lists, becoming an instant classic: a harrowing account of Sierra Leone's civil war and the fate of child soldiers that "everyone in the world should read" (The Washington Post). Now Beah, whom Dave Eggers has called "arguably the most read African writer in contemporary literature," has returned with his first novel, an affecting, tender parable about postwar life in Sierra Leone. At the center of Radiance of Tomorrow are Benjamin and Bockarie, two longtime friends who return to their hometown, Imperi, after the civil war. The village is in ruins, the ground covered in bones. As more villagers begin to come back, Benjamin and Bockarie try to forge a new community by taking up their former posts as teachers, but they're beset by obstacles: a scarcity of food; a rash of murders, thievery, rape, and retaliation; and the depredations of a foreign mining company intent on sullying the town's water supply and blocking its paths with electric wires. As Benjamin and Bockarie search for a way to restore order, they're forced to reckon with the uncertainty of their past and future alike. With the gentle lyricism of a dream and the moral clarity of a fable, Radiance of Tomorrow is a powerful novel about preserving what means the most to us, even in uncertain times. Named one of the Christian Science Monitor's best fiction books of 2014

We arrive in this world with a BMW mind in a VW Beetle body, struggling to be a BMW in a culture of Volkswagen Beetles. As complex living systems, we adapt to our environment. Alas, most of us become VW Beetles. We expend our optimum learning years by age 10 under pressure to conform to a socially acceptable level. Through this experience we develop our unique identity. Buried somewhere under all this VW experience is our real, BMW self. The evolutionary history of complex living systems is survival based. This is our primary directive, adapt or die. This instinctive process is essentially automatic, requiring no conscious thought. A minute or two ago in evolutionary time, we began evolution of a logical, compassionate cap over our primitive brain that expresses empathy and compassion. We now find ourselves in a chaotic state of conflict between anger and compassion, both essential, but requiring balance for our survival. Our technology has developed to a level for potential mass destruction and perhaps even extinction events. It would seem that survival behavior that was our savior in the past is likely to be our destruction in the future. Evolution to this point has provided us with anger as a dominant emotion to energize our body for battle. Our compassionate nature is still an infant. We need to seek a new balance between anger and compassion. To give us time to do this we must fall back on the historical theme of moderation in all things. As complex living systems, we find ourselves with a Mind having infinite capacity, but with the lack of experience to match an epic change in information flow. While information is increasing at an exponential rate, adaptation time is decreasing at a similar rate. We cannot help but recognize that it is religion that teaches moderation and compassion. We cannot help but recognize that governments respond by increasing control through laws and police action that take away freedom and choice. Genetics and experience shape our unique identity. Ultimately, it is our survival instinct and negative experience that create illogical, self-defeating behavior. That is, behavior that limits or eliminates positive life experience. As Christians we are told to love our neighbor, to build loving relationships. We are told to be humble and vulnerable to others. This clearly has the potential to create positive experience. We have learned that positive experience can create an environment that requires people with life-defeating behaviors to adapt. This is the way systems, and the Mind work. From a practical stand point and by definition, radical and fanatical beings are unable to comprehend moderation and are immune to compassionate relationship. A practical process of change must evolve over time. This brings us to the issue of religion. Jesus teaches loving relationships with God and Man. Islam teaches love of God. Man is to be controlled. This is not surprising. When Christianity was at the historical age of Islam, it was behaving as Islam is now. Islam is still responding to its seventh century culture. Christianity as now expressed is more comfortable in third world cultures. Christianity is still trying to adapt to its modern culture. Islam is trying to force its third world culture into the first world. Through immigration and financial power it may succeed. It may change the environment, but it will also be subject to change in the process. All systems follow system rules. This book is presenting a view of how our world works by seeing through the eyes of current scientific and social experience. It is not intended be technical, but rather to use some technical information to add color to its message. It offers the hope of practical change by understanding and limiting self-defeating behavior. It suggests that this is essential as a replacement primary directive, and one that has been vocalized for the past 2000 year
