Excerpt/Description
Aside from a bit of entertainment value (when I read text books I read them in expectation and wonder of what others have found, just as when long ago I read “Planet Comics,” or in my early teens read H. G. Wells “The First men in the Moon,” or more recently a mystery story like “A Bullet in the Ballet” by Caryl Brahms and S .J. Simon..
The book “The Man Who Saw Space and Time” has two main aims. The first is to define the basic characteristics of this reality we find ourselves in the fields of mythology, psychology, physics, and metaphysics. The second aim is to show the commonality of terms in one specialty field to those in another by the use of definitions, and diagrams.
The book proper is organized in two sections, the first is concerned with mythology, psychology, and metaphysics, the first of these mythology and psychology are in the realm of “The Mind”.
The second section of the book, is concerned with, the physical reality of the universe. In the physics of reality you will find a world of waves, waves in the substance of the universe. Each such wave is a cycle of change, a life-span that if left unmolested will run it’s natural coarse, will follow a definite sequence of events, a known process, with known characteristics.
If you venture into exploring these two parts of the book you will encounter the gods and goddess of Sumer, and Egypt, the pertinent thoughts of Hindu Sages, Hebrew mysticism’s, “tree of life,” You will also delve into the realm of “The Soul,” The Spirit,” find life defined, and be faced with the nature of energy as a side light, Visualize Ishtar, “goddess of the morn and goddess of the evening” as she descends into the underworld to find her lost love Tammuz.
I see as a major potential value in “The Man Who Saw Space and Time” the means used to show the relationships of basic terms, That means is a matrix diagram. The diagram and its term placement method is useable similar to Mendeleyev’s “Periodic table of chemical elements,” only here we have a chance to better understand the sciences in general and the inter-relationship of their terminology.
