Consciousness Came First: Revealing Evidence for Universal Intelligence and Mind Beyond the Brain

Consciousness - the universal world-pervading Element, revealed through the Mystery Teachings of all ages - unlocks the secrets of the universe, nature, and humans on all levels of existence, seen and unseen.

Consciousness Came First is a unique, panoramic and powerful book bridging the gulf between contemporary science and the philosophy of the ages. Aimed at the general rather than the specialist academic reader, it is essential reading for all those attempting to unravel the mysteries of life in the modern age.  Based on his monumental award-winning four-volume work Unfolding Consciousness: Exploring the Living Universe and the Intelligent Powers in Nature and Humans, it is arguably the most radical and persuasive reappraisal of the subject in decades. Its key message represents a stark challenge to materialistic science: that consciousness originates and operates beyond the brain. It demonstrates that consciousness is essentially a non-physical phenomenon. Exploring the subtle and invisible aspects of human existence Consciousness Came First also provides persuasive evidence for timeless cosmic principles which, from the distant past, have permeated all science, philosophy and religion. It demonstrates how ‘occult’ science can solve those riddles which remain an enigma to its mainstream counterpart. This erudite book, written and researched for more than twenty years, boldly questions the bogus but pervasive certainties which characterise contemporary thinking about life, death and the wider universe. Consciousness Came First is a book whose time has come. It is a book to shatter illusions. It is a book that will change minds.
