Crack in the Cosmic Egg: Challenging Constructs of Mind and Reality, The by Pearce, Joseph Chilton. mass_market edition. ISBN: 9780671803841.

The classic work that shaped the thought of a generation with its powerful insights into the true nature of mind and reality. Defines culture as a "cosmic egg" structured by the minds drive for logical ordering of its universe. Provides techniques allowing individuals to break through the vicious circle of logic-based systems to attain expanded ways of creative living and learning. The sum total of our notions of what the world is--and what we perceive its full potential to be--form a shell of rational thought in which we reside. This logical universe creates a vicious circle of reasoning that robs our minds of power and prevents us from reaching our true potential. To step beyond that circle requires a centering and focus that todays society assaults on every level. Through the insights of Teilhard, Tillich, Jung, Jesus, Carlos Castaneda, and others, Joseph Chilton Pearce provides a mode of thinking through which imagination can escape the mundane shell of current construct reality and leap into a new phase of human evolution. This enormously popular New Age classic is finally available again to challenge the assumptions of a new generation of readers and help them develop their potential through new creative modes of thinking. With a masterful synthesis of recent discoveries in physics, biology, and psychology, Pearce reveals the extraordinary relationship of mind and reality and natures blueprint for a self-transcending humanity.
