THE
SECRET
HISTORY
OF THE
WORLD
BY
MARK BOOTH
I had never understood why this was so until I came across the fantastic recent (2008) book by Mark Booth, The Secret History of the World. The book turns cosmic history
upside down, and argues that the universe did not evolve in the way
that has been customarily accepted, namely, that matter was created and
then mind gradually evolved from it. Rather, the book argues, mind was
created first, and gradually matter coalesced and precipitated from it.
That is an astonishing proposition! I was immediately enthralled
with it, because, by a simple shift of viewpoint, it seemed at a glance
to explain so very much for me. The book arrived into my hands at just
the right time, after years of my wondering why things were as they
were, to explain that the reason was the exact opposite of how I and
many others had been taught!
