The Purposeful Universe: How Quantum Theory and Mayan Cosmology Explain the Origin and Evolution of Life

Dr. Calleman's previous book shows us that the 6th night of each mayan calendar has brought destruction of something which has laid the foundation for the 7th day. In these last 10 years which he calls the galactic underworld, we have seen a dominance of fear and a loss of personal freedoms. We have seen both a growing sense of randomness and big loss of control in our lives. It looks like our corrupt financial and obese medical system are about to self destruct. The consciousness of humanity is shifting. I spent a great deal of time wondering what will be destroyed to bring about the new in the upcoming 7th day (starting November '10) , and I came to realize that our belief in what might be called scientific materialism is what is likely to be destroyed to pave the way for a more holistic way of being, thinking, and relating. The Purposeful Universe, if one really reads it, effectively destroys the darwinistic belief in random coincidence in our lives. The idea that humanity on earth is a freak of nature is no longer viable. That survival of the fittest is the law of the land is now seen to be a figment of our imagination created by our faith in a wayward mechanistic theory called Darwinism. This brilliant book is the seed that destroys the dominance of darwinism and opens the door for a new world of purposefulness and optimism. Read and share this book and you will change the world.

Carl Johan Calleman does a splendid job of describing a balance between Darwinism and Intelligent Design. Instead of life and consciousness being a very fortunate result of an extraordinary number of random coincidences, Calleman presents overwhelming evidence that the universe was created for the whole 'purpose' of evolving life and consciousness. His work will no doubt be ignored by a large part of the scientific community because his findings are highly controversial. However it is my contention that to completely ignore what is said here will be a tremendous detriment to the individual who does so. Now is not the time for tradition, closed mindedness and ego. Now is the time to wake up, to open ourselves to intuition and to prepare ourselves for the coming dramatic surges in our evolution.

I don't normally write reviews but this book was so extraordinary that I feel compelled to do so. I will not summarize his theory, as other reviewers have covered this adequately. Suffice to say that Dr. Calleman combines ancient wisdom with quantum physics and his extensive knowledge of biology to synthesize a theory that will exemplify the zeitgeist of the 21st century. Like the author I am a former biologist who grew frustrated working within the narrow confines of what is deemed worthy of study by the cult of atheistic Darwinism that currently dominates science. Ironically, biologists employ rational empiricism less than the typical 'man on the street', so I don't imagine that this theory will be accepted by the entrenched interests of mainstream biology. Nevertheless, it is a fact that, as the author quotes Stephen Hawking: "If ... we were to discover such a complete theory, its general principles should be so simple as to be understood by everyone, not just a few scientists." Dr. Calleman has achieved just that - a complete theory of the origin and evolution of life. This work is a momentous achievement and a beautiful gift to all of humanity. Drop whatever it is you are doing and READ THIS BOOK!

As an avid student of Mayan cosmology over the past few years, I have devoured the works of Calleman, among others. Everything I have read, up until The Purposeful Universe, has left me with a number of questions. Those questions have now been answered by Dr. Calleman in this very important work. I am a metaphysician, rather than a scientist, but Dr. Calleman's explanations have clarified much about phsyics and biology for me, even if I had to work pretty hard to understand it all! So many nuggets of truth are contained within these pages and, for me, they have served to fuel the glowing embers of hope I hold for humanity and the future. I have understood for some time that we are here courtesy of a Cosmic plan; with the information in The Purposeful Universe, I now have an understanding of the mechanics behind the plan, an understanding that is soothing to the secular part of my being that I just don't seem able to shake loose! This is a MUST READ for anyone seeking an explanation of Creation that is, nonetheless, firmly rooted in science.

Here is a seminal work that comes at the most critical time in human history. Profound enough is the notion that our existence, in fact all of life, is not an accident. Yet Dr Calleman goes further and lays down compelling scientific evidence that the universe itself is on purpose, a purpose revealed in the origin and structure of the universe and in the operation our very cells. Purposeful Universe tells the story of this purpose juxtaposed on the Mayan Calendar and ends with a startling conclusion that is sure to stimulate controversy. Dr Calleman offers deep biology, cosmology and sacred geometry in a wonderful scientific articulation. This is not a casual read; it is a deeply contemplative study, thoroughly researched and exquisitely written. Be prepared for a journey that points to our origins, not just in the mists of time, but into the core of our present being where the Creative Principle mirrors its purpose in a sacred dance within us every moment of our lives.
