Do you feel a sense of incompleteness? A longing to return to a place you’ve never been? “Reclaiming Paradise: Shaping a New Worldview, Knowing God, and Journeying into Eternity” may not have the answers to all your questions, but it will help you find the answers you’re looking for. Prepare to be taken on a “hero’s journey” by Paul Corson in the Imagination Vehicle.
“Regaining Paradise” is about reclaiming what we all once had, but then slowly fading, the light of Paradise. A light to which many of us have turned a blind eye. In a world where materialism is gaining more and more ground, it is a challenge to see beyond the mirage of the tangible. But, as Paul Corson points out, solid is mostly intangible energy. The author has peeked behind the veil of our reality and has not only seen but experienced what lies beyond. If you accept his invitation to travel together, you will too.
Although Regaining Paradise draws heavily from the author’s transcendent personal experience, that is not the only source of inspiration. The author’s curious character shines through in the rich references that embellish the book, coming from a wide variety of fields: literature, mythology, philosophy, psychology… and the list goes on.
Furthermore, an argumentative narrative flows throughout the pages of the book. Paul Corson takes a critical approach, analyzing the scientific view of many of the fundamental issues of life and the universe, such as consciousness, time, and the nature of energy. A look that he diffuses and confronts with his own perspective. The author’s curiosity and thirst for knowledge seeps through the pages of the book and is quite contagious. I think this is one of the greatest gifts that a reading can offer, awakening curiosity.
The journey is made up of a total of forty chapters that are finally unified in a holistic vision. It all begins with the transcendent personal experiences of the author and the stream of insight that arose from such occasions. But more stories will appear throughout the book. We are then led through an information-dense section that touches on topics from the fields of psychology, physics, neurology, biology, and quantum physics to address topics ranging from the uniqueness of the individual to the mechanism of the universe. Whereas towards the end, we dwell in Heaven for a couple of chapters.
No matter where you stand on matters of significance, you’ll find some captivating elements in “Reclaiming Paradise: Forming a New Worldview, Knowing God, and Journeying to Eternity.” And while not all of his questions may be answered by the end of his journey, it will certainly be an eventful adventure through a multitude of subjects, guided by Paul Corson. And maybe, hopefully, he will have sailed into a new port of his life.
