Sower and the Seed

<p><em>The Sower and the Seed</em> explores the origins of consciousness from a mytho-psychological angle. The concept of immanence a vast intelligence within the evolutionary process provides the underlying philosophy of the book presented as a creative-destructive spirit that manifests higher orders of complexity (such as life intelligence self-consciousness) and then dissolves them. The book explores the human psyche as immersed in nature and the realm of the Great Mother showing how the themes of fertility and power applicable to all life forms saturate the history of humanity - most evidently in the period stretching from 40000 years ago up to modern civilizations. The book examines in particular the transition to patriarchal religious consciousness in which a violent separation from the world of nature took place. </p>
