In deze uitgave verschaft de beroemde publicist en wetenschapper -onder meer mede-oprichter en lid van de internationale denktank 'De Club van Boedapest' die zich inzet voor het ontwikkelen van bewustworden en ontwikkelen van activiteiten en waarden die duurzaamheid en vrede genereren- een wetenschappelijke onderzoeks-update van zijn boeken 'Kosmische visie' en 'Bezielde kosmos'. Hij bespreekt hierin talrijke onderzoeken die zijn 'integrale theorie van alles' en 'het ge-informeerde universum' ondersteunen en die de wonderbaarlijke samenhang laten zien van van micro-niveau (kwantummechanica), meso-niveau (post-darwinisme, bewustzijnsonderzoek) en macro-niveau (kosmologie). Kern en verklaring van de opmerkelijke coherentie hierin vormt het zogenaamde Akasha-veld, geheugen en generator van alle kosmische verschijnselen. Ook beschrijft hij het proces van zijn vier decennia durend zoeken naar bewijzen hiervan. Belangrijke onderwerpen worden in grijs kader uitgelicht en apart verklaard, de attente vertaler levert soms de Nederlandse context. Alleen voor de in de materie ingevoerde lezer.
