Creating Consciousness

by Albert Low

Overview

“Creating Consciousness: A Study of Consciousness, Creativity, Evolution, and Violence” is a spiritual & intellectual treasure from Zen Master Albert Low. Creating Consciousness is Low’s profound discussion of the philosophical, religious, and scientific problem of consciousness in relation to evolution, creativity, spirituality, and violence. Low weaves together fresh discoveries from contemporary thinkers with perennial wisdom from premodern religious sources while providing a highly original discussion of human nature. Low’s main thesis is that each individual is a divided reality. We are simultaneously at the center (unified self) and the periphery (many dimensions of self). The fact that we are one and yet divided leads to Low’s discussion of ambiguity, creative tension, and violence as integral to human existence.
