To more clearly understand how the universe works, author Stephen Hage offers this template that outlines why, even though matter appears to truly exist, its existence cannot be scientifically proven. He explores enigmas in physics which still exist and cannot be satisfactorily explained. He explains why the Dimensional Structure of Consciousness is a new paradigm upon which a new myth can be constructed to help better understand how the universe works as Copernicus did when he shattered the myth that the Sun orbits the Earth rather than the other way around. The style is conversational and friendly and uses current vernacular to keep it that way. The approach is to invite the reader to consider the arguments made and avoid a posture which implies the author is right and Descartes was wrong. The book is intended to be valuable for intelligent lay readers interested in the subjects of consciousness, physics, quantum mechanics, philosophy, metaphysics, myth and meditation; and the deep and meaningful connections between those areas of inquiry. In a sense, the book is an interpretation and appreciation of three books by Samuel Avery: The Dimensional Structure of Consciousness, Transcendence of the Western Mind and Buddha and the Quantum.
