Pressestimmen
"Seldom, if ever, within the scientific tradition, has the excitement of the universe been expressed in such memorable phrasing."
Kurzbeschreibung
Communicating his ideas in the form of a classical dialogue between a youth and a wise elder cosmologist Brian Swimme crafts a fascinating exploration into the creativity suffusing the universe. His explication of the fundamental powers of the cosmos is mystical and ecstatic; it shocks the reader into a physiological explosive awareness of the stuff of being. Most significantly Dr Swimme succeeds in articulating the need to activate one's own creative powers. He writes: If humans committed themselves to their deepest allurements with the same devotion that stars bring to their own activation of power the Earth would enter a new era of well-being. Brian Swimme Ph.D. is a specialist in mathematical cosmology.

Picture this: Suspended in time, Italo Calvino (having just written Cosmicomics) and Carl Sagan (fresh off of the Cosmos mini-series) collaborate on a fictitious conversation about the universe. This is about as close to an analogy I can think of to describe this book. While at certain parts the 'dialogue' becomes a little too hokey, the end result from reading this through is the visceral equivilent of a wistful, romantic gaze at the night sky with intuitive, magnified eyes. Quite profound.

Whenever I read this book I feel like I'm sitting outdoors under the starry night sky by a campfire, listening to two people talk about the meaning of life, the universe, and everything. Within the framework of an imaginary conversation between "Thomas" (based on Thomas Berry) and "Youth" (representing youthful mankind), Brian Swimme's UNIVERSE IS A GREEN DRAGON tells the miraculous story of the vibrant existance of our universe. In masterful storytelling style, Swimme spins a tale so poetic and electrifying that the story inside this book begins to seem much more real than much of the rest of "real life". As Thomas explains to the Youth, "To develop the power of cosmic sensitivity is to understand that to be in reality means dissolving the universe, absorbing it into your new self. To be is to dissolve and draw up, to BE dissolved and drawn up. The universe is a hard yellow candy, to be sucked on and swalled until it dissolves, and, in that moment of dissolution, we emerge. A hardened mind cannot respond to the presence of the moon. The moon's riches cannot be tasted, so the moon can not show itself. The interaction between the rigid person and the universe is superficial, because the sensitivity is dim." I feel invigorated after reading any part of this book... refreshed with a new vision of the true splendour of this enchanted universe.

I was first acquainted with this book as it was quoted by Paul Winters (famous soprano saxophone musician extraodinaire) at a workshop I attended. The quote had me in tears.. I can't find my copy or I would have written it in here. He writes of the Universe as Love. How it is truely an alluring universe. And how we can relate to ourselves through its allurement. With an open mind and heart I invite all to read this book. I now see Brian has authored a couple of other books I may get my eyes on!
