The Architecture of the Universe: A New Framework of Existence, Time, and Space: 1 (Architecture of the Divine) Paperback – Import, 23 August 2014

Firstly, I ordered this book on 9/14/23. It was freshly printed and bound on 9/15/23. Then delivered before 12 noon on 9/16/22. That’s what I call service!!The topics covered in the book resonate with me as I have been going through my own personal journey of exploring the philosophy, spirituality, and science of Cosmology and how it can change my perspective in my life.After I had my very intense “Return to Saturn” that lasted for about 3-4 years and culminated during the Covid quarantine, I was having to relearn everything I thought was true. Having to restructure and redefine my truths was a very heavy responsibility that I’m sure will happen again and again throughout the rest of my years.I heard about this book after watching the Lazlo Institute Conference on Cosmology. I had been looking for the words to describe what Existence actually is. The Author, Richard Blum it seemed was also taking a similar interest in this massive question. I cannot wait to dive into this book and see his process of inner and outer discovery. I highly suggest you purchase this book. Even if you don’t agree with his theory, the important thing is to allow yourself to stretch your mind and understanding of was is, or what could possibly be. You’ll only be better for opening your mind and exploring all the awesome possibilities of this thing called Existence. And hopefully how you can use these questions and theories to connect closer to the Unified Absolute we call God.

When I first started to investigate this book I learned that the author’s background has the uncommon quality of combining diverse in-depth studies that includes, among other subjects, science and spirituality, which is similar to my own background. And when I realized that he and I had independently made the same general conclusion that these levels of existence must be connected, I immediately became interested. To me, the essence of it is, as he said, “If science is true and God is true, then a unifying theory must exist.” Now that I have read the book, I can assure you, it does not disappoint.Mr Blum has captured missing ideas by merging physics and spiritual cosmology that can advance our perception to a much higher/deeper/broader level. This is one of those rare events when a fresh new awareness comes into view for old unsolved mysteries that still confound the best of minds. I am deeply impressed with how creative and brilliant his ideas are, as well as his ability to tie together a subject this immense and intricate, and explain it in detail so clearly that an armchair observer, like myself, can understand it. That is a monumental feat in itself – in addition to, the insights and proposals in his framework make perfect sense!His foundation is based in long established theories and experimental facts about the physical universe, to which he adds deep spiritual knowledge such as: “transcendent, unified, eternal infinity; divine singularity; existence particles; the hierarchical structure of the universe” – as well as our own evolved selves destined to become conscious of it all. Occasionally you may need to focus your inner sight to a sharper degree than usual and allow it to expand your mind to see this bright new dawn. I hope you read the book – it is not to be missed.Excerpts of Mr Blum’s own words from the book:“To develop such a vision it was necessary to extend physics – including Einstein’s theory of relativity and quantum mechanics – and to extend spiritual cosmology until reaching a point of contact in which the two merge into a single theory. What has resulted is a new framework of physics, which includes the conceptual discovery of a most fundamental attribute of the universe. Validation of this new framework lies in the fact that it offers explanations regarding aspects of relativity and quantum mechanics which hitherto have remained mysterious.”He goes on to say, “This union of science and spirituality also reveals a deeper vision of God. Not a vision of God as presented by religions steeped in past traditions, but a new vision, which does not require a leap of faith to accept, but is a natural result of viewing the broad panorama of the universe: spanning from before the beginning of time to its end, from prior to the existence of time and space to the vast expansion of the universe, from the depth of the most fundamental particles outward to vast clusters of galaxies, and most importantly, peering deeply into the consciousness of the human mind – such a panoramic perspective reveals God as a most natural, fundamental aspect of the cosmos and that which lies beyond.”

This is the most interesting exploration of God and Particle Physics that I have ever seen.Mr. Blum's ability to slow down a billionth of a second into comprehensible fragments is breathtaking.I am on my second reading, and can't recommend it enough.

Book was recommended by a friend and was delivered as expected. Wonderful experience.

This is the book I have been waiting for. I appreciate the way various disciplines and perspective are brought together.
