Evolutionary Consciousness ventures from the imaginary world of dreams out into the vastness of the cosmos. It shows how one's subjective experience is intricately enmeshed in the way we perceive the world. A new paradigm in science is emerging. This is a participatory universe in which, in some sense, the ideas of the mind mold and create what we take for reality."Idealism and primacy of consciousness is slowly but surely making a comeback after almost a sixty year steam-rolling progress of scientific materialism. The author Wayne Omura has an interesting take on the subject: he skillfully explores a dream metaphor that some mystical traditions propose for reality. I find it interesting and very readable, and you will too." - Dr. Amit Goswami, Quantum Physicist and author of Quantum Creativity: Think Quantum, Be Creative, and Quantum Economics: Unleashing the Power of an Economics of Consciousness"Wayne Omura's Evolutionary Consciousness takes the reader on a fascinating journey into dreams and the limits of consciousness. He asks us if the world itself is a dream and offers important insights into the ultimate nature of reality." - David Peat, author, physicist, Director of Pari Center for New Learning (Italy)"A tour de force. A guide on your path to understanding. Anyone who is committed to understanding their path through life would do well to build upon the foundations of Evolutionary Consciousness. It will tide you through puzzling and difficult times. You are not alone in your confusion. Find solace in what others have discovered on their journey through life. A scholarly review of the essence of existence." - Gerrit L. Verschuur, Ph.D. Radio astronomer and author of, among other titles, Hidden Attraction: The History and Mystery of Magnetism, The Invisible Universe: The Story of Radio Astronomy, and Is Anyone Out There?: Personal Adventures in the Search for Extraterrestrials."This is a very thoughtful and well-researched book that I am pleased to recommend to all readers interested in human consciousness and the study of nature." - William A. Tiller, Ph.D. Professor Emeritus, Stanford University, Department of Material Science and Engineering

pIn this introductory guidebook, Omura puts some very interesting films together in a meaningful order. As we consider these films with him, we are encouraged to relate them to deep questions about life./ppBruce Kaurin, author of iMindscreen/i and iHow Movies Work/i/ppWayne Omura's book provides succinct descriptions of the films he considers to be the most evocative of the human condition. A useful guide for all film lovers and those who wish to discover the enigma of living life through the movies./ppSuranjan Ganguly, Associate Professor of Film Studies, University of Colorado/ppThe movie is a vicarious experience. It is a substitute for so-called "real" life. And yet, this illusion can move one's soul. It can place one on the beaches of Normandy with shells exploding and bullets whizzing through the air. It can place one on another planet facing alien forms of intelligent life. The movie is a fantasy, a distilled form of imagination. We know where we are physically in reality. But if a movie is good, our mind is somewhere else. And if a movie is excellent, our spirit has also been released. On some occasions a movie can be incredible. In such an instance our soul can he transformed. These incredibly transformative movies form the core of this book: movies that convey visions of the meaning of life. They are the most profound films in cinematic history./ppFrom the iIntroduction/i/p

"An in-depth study of contemporary North American Native Fiction, Dr. Panda's book is an extremely readable work which would prove immensely useful to students and scholars alike." Prof. Subhendu Mund; Visiting Professor, IIT Bhubaneswar Contemporary Native Fiction of the U.S. and Canada explores the varied nuances of contemporary Native American and Native Canadian fiction from a postcolonial perspective. The book goes beyond previous studies concerning Native writers by focusing on a range of issues from tribal cultural experiences to the contemporary postcolonial realities Native peoples encounter such as identity politics and the subversion of hegemonic discourse. This book not only highlights the special features of Native cultures by discussing various binary oppositions and forms of hybridity found in contemporary works, but it also illuminates the game of subversion and the unending play of the signifiers which are encountered in postmodern texts of the Native writers discussed here. Contemporary Native Fiction of the U.S. and Canada centers on four well known Native texts, two each from the U.S. and Canada. Enriched with the knowledge of the two worlds Native authors encounter, one tribal and the other mainstream, the book concludes that Native authors are masters of their craft in manifesting both the Native cultural matrix as well as the experiences of the postcolonial Native world they inhabit.
