{"product_id":"time-myth-and-matter-essays-on-the-natures-and-narratives-of-reality","title":"Time, Myth and Matter: Essays on the Natures and Narratives of Reality","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book consists of five long essays, including revised and expanded versions of Deutsch’s highly esteemed zines published by Sacred Bones Books between 2018-2023, and an exclusive, previously unreleased essay, all of which explore the intersections between techno-scientific thinking and mythological narratives as they relate to life’s attempt at self-definition. Known for her ability to render complicated scientific and esoteric subjects accessible to wider audiences, Deutsch deftly traces the relationships between different theories and events in the history of science and technology, and various aspects of mythology, psychology, philosophy, (meta)physics and mysticism—resulting in a riveting inquiry into the nature of the self and the foundations of reality. By treating both science and mythology as serious subjects worthy of respect and rigor, Time, Myth and Matter opens up new avenues of thought and theory as to how the inner world of man and the outer world of Nature intersect and affect each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe essays in this book cover:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe history and cultural synchronicities between the discovery of the planet Pluto and the discovery of the element plutonium and development of the atomic bomb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDifferent scientific and philosophical theories about time and how these relate to mythological models of time and the psychological experience of synchronicity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe prevalence and popularity of the simulation hypothesis, and how it may be viewed as an actively operating mythological model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe quantum history of matter and the metaphors we use to discuss how and from where matter emerges into the physical universe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe relationship between consciousness and the material world and how this relationship has been expressed in science, philosophy and mythology\u003cbr\u003eTime, Myth and Matter covers the theories and ideas of world-renowned philosophers, scientists and psychologists such as Carl Jung, Marie-Louise von Franz, Carlo Rovelli, Brian Greene, Nick Bostrom, Bernardo Kastrup, Ruth Kastner, Jacques Vallée, Jeffrey Kripal, Hans-Peter Dürr, Albert Einstein, and more. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardcover. 240 pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLD Deutsch is a writer, thinker and scholar based in Los Angeles, Her essays and talks are engaging expositions that deftly integrate a range of disciplines to consider the headiest of ideas: Time, consciousness, and the narratives and nature(s) of reality.
