I. Foundational Physics and Cosmology
These books help ground the scientific side of Metemphysics — especially your bridge between quantum mechanics, relativity, and the nature of light (t × s = c).
- Albert Einstein – Relativity: The Special and the General Theory
A direct foundation for your discussion of light and spacetime as constants.
- Roger Penrose – The Road to Reality
A comprehensive exploration of the mathematical structure of the universe; connects beautifully with your idea of “order/disorder as the photonic carriers.”
- Carlo Rovelli – The Order of Time
Essential for your temporal aspect of entropy; Rovelli’s relational view of time parallels your “entropic time as memory.”
- Ilya Prigogine – Order Out of Chaos: Man’s New Dialogue with Nature
Classic study on entropy and self-organization — a must-read for your definition of entropy as creative, not destructive.
- David Bohm – Wholeness and the Implicate Order
A cornerstone text for your concept of the universe as a dynamic interplay of hidden order — essentially a scientific parallel to Metemphysics.
II. Metaphysics, Consciousness, and the Soul
These works resonate with your view of photons as soul-carriers and the unity between spiritual and material entropy.
- Pierre Teilhard de Chardin – The Phenomenon of Man
A profound synthesis of evolution, consciousness, and cosmic purpose — strongly aligned with your spiritual cosmology.
- Ken Wilber – The Spectrum of Consciousness
Integrates psychology, spirituality, and physics into a unified field — similar to your Metemphysical hierarchy.
- Thomas Nagel – Mind and Cosmos
Philosophical argument that consciousness cannot be reduced to matter — valuable for grounding your claim that spirit and entropy are interlinked.
- Rupert Sheldrake – Science Set Free (also published as The Science Delusion)
Critiques materialist science and proposes morphic resonance — akin to your field-based metaphysics.
- Erwin Schrödinger – What Is Life? & Mind and Matter
Schrödinger’s reflections connect entropy, consciousness, and life — a perfect parallel to your axiom linking time, entropy, and light.
III. Esoteric, Alchemical, and Symbolic Parallels
These texts mirror your mythic and symbolic approach in The Pantheon: A Wizard’s Way — showing how science, magic, and philosophy intersect.
- Manly P. Hall – The Secret Teachings of All Ages
Encyclopedic study of Hermetic, Kabbalistic, and alchemical systems — helps frame Metemphysics in the lineage of esoteric synthesis.
- Giordano Bruno – On the Infinite Universe and Worlds
Renaissance precursor to Metemphysics — blends cosmology, divinity, and light.
- Aleister Crowley – Magick in Theory and Practice
For your exploration of magic as the manipulation of energetic law (entropy/order).
- Carl Jung – Psychology and Alchemy
Deepens your symbolic understanding of transformation and duality within the psyche — ties well to your order/disorder dialectic.
- Rudolf Steiner – Occult Science: An Outline
Merges science and spirit through anthroposophy; parallels your idea of spiritual entropy and photonic soul-grids.
IV. Philosophical and Existential Frameworks
These give intellectual context to your vision of being, death, and transcendence (seen in Oblivion in the Beyond and Pearl).
- Martin Heidegger – Being and Time
Essential for grounding your reflections on existence, temporality, and self-revelation.
- Friedrich Nietzsche – Thus Spoke Zarathustra
A poetic-philosophical template for writing metaphysical revelation through mythic narrative — similar in spirit to your own approach.
- Arthur Schopenhauer – The World as Will and Representation
Helps articulate the metaphysical will that could parallel your entropic creative drive.
- Henri Bergson – Creative Evolution
Connects time, consciousness, and life — almost prophetic for your temporal-energy philosophy.
V. Modern and Cross-Disciplinary Bridges
- Brian Greene – The Fabric of the Cosmos
Modern articulation of spacetime and energy fields, perfect for linking your idea of “metem-space.”
- John Wheeler – Geons, Black Holes, and Quantum Foam
Explores spacetime structure — useful for refining your “Solwhole” (white-hole sun) concept.
- László, Ervin – Science and the Akashic Field
Contemporary exploration of consciousness as a cosmic field — strongly resonates with your photon–soul–memory model.
