The Global Mind and the Rise of Civilization cover

In each culture the origins of civilization can be tied to the arising of one concept in the human mind: straight lines. Straight and perpendicular lines are not found in nature, so where did they come from? What shift in consciousness occurred around the globe that triggered the start of rectangular building methods and linear organization as well as written language, pyramid construction, mathematics, and art?
Outlining the historical, psychological, geophysical, and neurological roots of the modern human mind, Calleman shows how studying early civilizations offers a means of understanding the evolution of consciousness.

“The first novel idea about the rise of civilization in many decades.” * James Redfield, author of The Celestine Prophecy and The Twelfth Insight *
The Global Mind and the Rise of Civilization addresses one of the crucial issues of our time, on which our future may depend: the relationship between human consciousness and the brain. The evidence shows that mind and brain are not identical, as we have been led to believe. Minds are capable of things that brains cannot do. The implication--that we are more than our physical brains and bodies--will likely be regarded as the most important discovery of our era. Let Calleman be your guide on this exciting journey.” * Larry Dossey, M.D., author of One Mind: How Our Individual Mind Is Part of a Greater Consciousness a *
In The Global Mind and the Rise of Civilization, Carl Johan Calleman formulates a unique outlook on human civilization, one that is deeply rooted in metaphysical changes in human consciousness. The effect is to reconcile diverse aspects of symbolism, myth, and theology, drawn from a wide range of ancient cultures.” * Laird Scranton, author of The Science of the Dogon and Point of Origin: Gobekli Tepe and the Spiritu *
“Calleman examines how the two hemispheres of the brain have parallels with the East and West civilizations and suggests that the global mind is connected to the Earth’s inner core. …fascinating book.” * Nexus Magazine, August 2016 *
