Reviews:

"Our human and spiritual nature is much bigger than fanatic literalism or scientistic dogmatism, and Low's refreshing book offers a more open direction to explore the potentials of evolution for real human beings."

Charles T. Tart
The Institute of Transpersonal Psychology
Professor Emeritus of Psychology at UC Davis

"Low makes room for the best of evolution while welcoming space for the mystery of consciousness and the humble contemplation of the abyss."

Robert Forman author, founding editor The Journal of Consciousness Studies and CEO of the Forge

"Transcending the clichés on both sides of the modern God/evolution debate, Dr. Low's book offers a most welcome invitation to the joyful work of thinking like a human being about what an evolving human being is and can—and, for the sake of our world, must-- become."

Jacob Needleman, author of Why Can't We Be Good?

"A richly thoughtful reflection on the roots of human nature that glows with a deep respect for both science and the spirit."

Allan Combs;
Author of The Radiance of Being


"A strikingly original vision of evolution and human nature."

Dr William Byers author of How Mathematicians Think
