The radical change of perspective sweeping the Western world and the paradigm shift of our times challenges our most deeply held beliefs about reality, whether scientific, religious, aesthetic, ethical or other. As our constructs are amended to accommodate this shift in consciousness, we can anticipate monumental changes in our collectively held beliefs about our world, our communities, and ourselves. This book includes a wide range of ideas and creative expressions, curated from contributors who hail from a spectrum of disciplines, fields, perspectives and approaches. The authors are doctors of science, medicine and the humanities, artists of multiple disciplines, philosophers, poets, and educators, and present a prismatic array of fascinating and accessible scholarly discourses. They hail from a spectrum of spiritual, cultural and disciplinary backgrounds, but all have journeyed with a sense of the quantum sublime, experienced awe in apprehending the web of connectivity, and speak about that with passion and eloquence.

Yvonne Owens, PhD, was a Marie Curie Research Fellow at the University College of London, UK. She has presented papers at international conferences in many disciplines, including the Association of Art Historians Annual Conference, the Annual International Conference on the Study of Shamanism and Alternative Modes of Healing, and the American Academy of Religion Annual Conference. Her most recent book is Abject Eroticism in Northern Renaissance Art: the Witches and Femmes Fatales of Hans Baldung Grien (2020), on representations of women and the gendering of evil “defect” in classical humanist discourses, cross-referencing these figures to historical art, natural philosophy, medicine, theology, science and literature. Upcoming projects include Searching For Sheela, a multidisciplinary approach to researching, writing about and documenting the widespread diffusion of vulva imagery in world art and its current revival in feminist contexts, with photographer Dona Ann McAdams.
