Space Encounters II-rev.--An Underground Principia

Sir Isaac Newton famously complained about “action at a distance.” How was it possible, he wrote, that gravity, or attraction, operated between objects without physical contact? Well, jump to the twenty-first century, and we have a lot more to say about that. Readers will enjoy a brilliant, outrageous, playful exploration of quantum physics in everyday life, from a secret interplay of TV plots with us, in electricity, to other speculations, founded in the author’s decades of initiations as well as being an original thinker and a scholar.
An unusual feature of the illustrations in An Underground Principia is a technique called “computer-PK,” or mind through matter in the creation of printouts that refocus the text on-screen in the printing so that nothing happens twice. As in Einstein’s “Credo,” the author exemplifies: “The most beautiful and deepest experience [one] can have is the sense of the mysterious.”

“In SPACE ENCOUNTERS II: AN UNDERGROUND PRINCIPIA, Margaret Ann Harrell leaps beyond existentialism, beyond cellular molecular electric, beyond epistemology, beyond phenomenology, beyond quantum physics, beyond first second and third person narrative, beyond fourth person singular, beyond tragedy, beyond comedy, beyond all genres, beyond space and time, beyond yin and yang, beyond dualism in all its manufactured forms, beyond encyclopedic knowledge, beyond gravity, beyond electromagnetics, beyond nondualism, beyond death, beyond 3-D, beyond sound and light to where there is no distance to where there are no gaps to where the ever changing creative imagination is the host of all and everything. SPACE ENCOUNTERS II: AN UNDERGROUND PRINCIPIA is a masterpiece, a miracle.
“From start to finish beginning to end I was blown away by the brilliance the radiance the outrageousness the playfulness the hilarity the footnotes the simultaneous multiple conversations all of it!
“It’s talking my language, and it’s a language that’s never been spoken! Ha! And Aha!”—Ron Whitehead, U.S. National Lifetime Beat Poet Laureate

“Margaret Harrell has the most open-ended and far-reaching mind of anyone I know.”—Rhea A. White, Director, the Exceptional Human Experience Network

"My biggest concern is that I have no idea how many people will be able to grasp the depth of the principles you describe. It is amazing enough that you take a lifetime of experiences and connect them into a driving force that leads to the realization of one’s purpose.

Even more amazing is that you include the most subtle levels of existence that play a role in these processes. An Underground PRINCIPIA connects life purpose, spirituality, depth psychology, and quantum physics into one all-encompassing movement.

"Most breathtakingly, by reading An Underground PRINCIPIA, the reader can gain the insight that all of this is happening, not in one lifetime, whether human or universal, but in an eternal now. Amazing achievement . . ."--Taoist, Master Taiji teacher, and rainforest activist in Suriname, Jef Crab

A three-time MacDowell Colony fellow, Margaret A. Harrell is also a book editor, cloud photographer exhibited in Europe as well as the United States, and an advanced meditation teacher in the LuminEssence school of light body and luminous body consciousness exploration, mentor to those wanting to maximize their potential. Harrell copy-edited Hunter S. Thompson's first book, Hell's Angels, and in 2021 included scans of his letters to her in the coffee table collectible The Hell's Angels Letters (Norfolk Press) in conjunction with US Beat Lifetime Poet Laureate Ron Whitehead. Other books she authored in the twenty-first century include the memoir series Keep This Quiet! I-IV, Space Encounters III revised: Inserting Consciousness into Collisions, Beyond 3-D, Particle Pinata Poems, and the artbook Cloud Conversations. In a varied, eclectic lifetime, which shows in her writing, she has lived many years outside the United States-in Morocco, Switzerland (at the C. G. Jung Zurich Institute), and in Belgium. A sought-after speaker, Margaret is currently behind the scenes in the thick of the organization of the 2025 New Orleans Gonzo Fest.383
