The Metaverse of Consciousness

Reviews / Votes

"The Metaverse of Consciousness takes a deep dive into the possibility of a conscious universe. Whenever archetypal psychoanalysts, mystics, quantum physicists, and philosophers are thrust into the same space, a wild party is inevitable. Joye's mind-expanding exploration is a masterful and illuminating glimpse at the enduring marvels of the metaverse." * Dean Radin, Ph.D., chief scientist at the Institute of Noetic Science and author of Real Magic * "This book investigates the true nature of reality from a psychonaut's point of view. Through awareness of perceiving the Whole, we can envision and participate in evolution of human consciousness, rising above apparent divisions and polarities. Shelli Renee Joye invites us to experience the richness of our living Cosmos and the dawning of a new awareness of what it is to be truly human, sharing ideas of Teilhard de Chardin, David Bohm, Carl Jung, G. I. Gurdjieff, and more." * Cynthia Sue Larson, Ph.D., author of Quantum Jumps and Reality Shifts * "In The Metaverse of Consciousness, Joye blends hard science theory, new paradigm cosmology, consciousness study, and brain science with autobiography, psychedelic vision, and self-identity to address the very question of what personal experience is, where it happens, and how we can expand it. Her style is engaging, the material interesting, her scope wide-ranging, and her visions ultimately hopeful. The universe is larger and deeper than we think. Go see!" * Toby Johnson, Ph.D., author of Finding Your Own True Myth * "Joye brings together her personal search for the structures of consciousness, the concepts of Jung's psyche and psychoid structures, Teihard's hyperphysics and evolution of consciousness, and Pribram and Bohm's holoflux of consciousness. She identifies commonalities of mystical insight through the ages with current scientific investigation with a rigor that weaves together the historical concepts describing consciousness with contemporary scientific findings. She pushes the envelope to provide a plausible explanation of the source of consciousness in a quantum world that interacts with the spacetime continuum in which we experience our existence. Her style of writing is easy to read, and the concepts she discusses will push any imagination toward a new understanding of the world in which we live." * John Alan Taylor, Ph.D., dean at Orange Coast College * "This book offers hope and direction to those who seek guidance but have become discouraged by the heavy hand of scientific materialism. Weaving an integrated tapestry of ideas from the core visionary works of Carl Jung, David Bohm, Teilhard de Chardin, and Gustav Fechner, the book offers credible answers to our most fundamental questions while constantly inviting the reader to participate in a direct introspective exploration of our vast unfolding noospheric metaverse. Opening with a rich, detailed exposition of the hidden dimensions of reality, supported by recent data from string theory and particle physics, the book offers a new way of seeing the world as a metaverse. Clearly written with love, great attention to detail, and a wealth of visual diagrams. Highly recommend." * Michael Pryzdia, Ph.D., author of A Mature Mystic * "Joye takes us by the hand and whispers tales of mind explorers who dared to work at the edges of consciousness. Walking the fine line between inspired discipline and intellectual kindness, The Metaverse of Consciousness arrives at a prefatory synthesis that integrates deep experience, revolutionary science, and subtle metaphysics. The conundrum of world and mind meets halfway in us humans. This book is a timely contribution to the healing of our civilization's selfinflicted wounds." * Alex Gomez-Marin, Ph.D., associate professor at Instituto de Neurociencias and direct * "Joye has brought the Jungian system into a clearer focus than I have encountered before. The same is true for her chapter on Teilhard de Chardin. The illustrations in the book highlight the overall map of the theories being expounded conceptually, making this book a great resource for graduate students and those teaching on the subject. A unique aspect of this book is that these theories were not merely abstract to the scientists involved, but Joye relates how each of them directly experienced these fundamental realities." * Daniel Kealey, Ph.D., professor emeritus of the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies, Sisk *
