Note: In the Powers of the Universe, cosmologist Brian Swimme provides a synthesis of scientific and spiritual worldviews, empowering people to rediscover and remember who they truly are in the greater story of life, and situate the larger challenges of our day as part of the journey of the Universe. This view leads to a positive, life-affirming vision of human potential, one that calls for a new level of ecological responsibility, wisdom, and relatedness. In the process, Swimme demonstrates how science and spiritual traditions can find common ground in a worldview that is evolutionary, scientific, and filled with reverence and wonder.

 "The cosmological powers of the Universe are coursing through us moment by moment. To become aware of these powers is to touch the source of life,” -Brian Swimme | "Radiance may be the sweetest of the powers, but that doesn’t lessen its immense importance and complexity. We wouldn’t be here at all if it weren’t for the most radiant of all local beings: the sun. She, blazing wildly from the depths of her fiery furnace, sets our standard. She also has a lot of company. Since the primeval flaring forth, everything in the universe has been giving off light, in the visible spectrum and out, in the form of electromagnetic and quantum energy. ‘Radiance is the primary language of the universe, the way the universe communicates with itself.’ The way that it speaks to us. The sun and the earth, with all its emerging forms and beings, are part of the cosmos’s ongoing conversation.
