On a quest for the roots of intelligence, Natural Metaphor: The Intelligent Evolution of Consciousness is both timely and timeless. Sourcing its inspiration in nature, both around and within us, Natural Metaphor draws from the scientific and theoretical insights that explain nature's form and dynamics, while deferring to the mystical seers who speak of its substance. As science probes ever deeper into the mysteries and complexities of the universe and its denizens, an underlying, unifying pattern emerges from beneath the sheath of outward disparity. This pattern is transcendent enough to reconcile the seeming opposition between science, with its meticulous observation of forms and processes, and spirituality, with its inwardly penetrating nature. Natural Metaphor crosses the bridge between diversity of form and the singular condition which underlies it, revealing all formal variations to be physically enacted metaphors of a single, indissoluble wholeness. While endlessly variable in contour and capacity, each participant in the ongoing project of manifestation is bound to every other by universal laws that are common to all. Beyond these all-inclusive principles, however, are higher laws, intelligently constructed, that emerge with each evolutionary venture into novelty and complexity, but which are still circumscribed by the same foundational parameters. Although not currently numbered among the primary forces of the universe, intelligence offers its subtle guidance at even the most elementary levels of complexity and evolution. Disclosing its adaptive logic through the physical vehicles it fashions and inhabits; the interactions that enjoin those forms into complex systems; and even the language that allows explicit disclosure of form's inner experience, intelligence is as paramount to evolution as physical law. Its function is to create the structure that is necessary to convey its ineffable foundation on an embodied journey through event and experience, whispering the same secret with a multitude of voices-that of their origin, consciousness itself.
