The Purposeful Universe: How Quantum Theory and Mayan Cosmology Explain the Origin
and Evolution of Life – by Carl Johan Calleman, Ph.D.
December 2009: Bear & Company: ISBN 978-1-59143-104-6: 336 pages, 43 black-and-white illustrations
This is Calleman’s lastest book and has my highest recomendation for people to have on hand as a general work and reference book.
In my view, it’s a top of the line, vital infomation book to have over the next few years, as he is also now linking it the fact that the Mayan code of life cycles and ages are based upon the phi code of 1.618 to one reducing quickening principal, and I am sure to be quoting and making reference to it.
The following will give you an idea of what it’s about. As with most books, it’s available on Amazon.com

The Purposeful Universe:
Identifying the Mayan World Tree with the central axis of the cosmos, the author
* shows how evolution is designed and not random
• Shows how the evolution of the universe emanates from the Cosmic Tree of Life; and
• Explains the origin and evolution of biological life and consciousness and how this is directed
Using recent findings within cosmology, coupled with his broad understanding of the Mayan calendar, biologist Carl Johan Calleman offers a revolutionary and fully developed alternative to Darwin’s theory of biological evolution—and the theory of randomness that holds sway over modern science. He shows how the recently discovered central axis of the universe correlates with the Tree of Life of the ancients. This provides an entirely new context for physics
in general and especially for the origin and evolution of life and suggests that we look upon ourselves as parts of a hierarchy of systems that are all entangled and evolve in a synchronized way.
Calleman’s research demonstrates that life did not just accidentally “pop up” on our planet, but that the Earth was a place specifically tagged for this. He demonstrates how the Mayan calendar describes different quantum states of the Tree of Life and presents a new explanation for the origin and evolution of consciousness.
Calleman uses his scientific background in biology and cosmology to show that the idea of the Purposeful Universe is real. The new theory about biological evolution explains not only how the DNA, but also the entire organisms have
emerged in the image of the Tree of Life, a theory that has wide-ranging consequences not only for medicine, but also for the origin of sacred geometry and the human soul.
With this theory the divide between science and religion disappears.
Carl Johan Calleman holds a Ph.D. in physical biology from the University of Stockholm. He has been a Senior researcher at the University of Washington and has served as a cancer expert for the World Health Organization. He is also a world-leading expert on the Mayan calendar and is the author of The Mayan Calendar and the Transformation of Consciousness and The Mayan Calendar. He lives in Seattle.
Review by Jean-Claude Perez, PhD
Between the simplicity of religion and the absurdity of an empty randomness, Carl Johan Calleman here proposes to us a brilliant, but plausible third way : The Tree of Life. Here we have finally a modern theory of the origin and evolution of life that unifies the most recent discoveries of science with the ancient wisdom such as the sacred geometry of the Golden Ratio or the time of the Maya. For the Maya time was like interferences and synchronicities – based on the time scales of 13 and 20 – what the Greek called Kairos or Leibniz baptised « accidents ».
To me it is this dimension of time – found in the hidden order of chaos rather than in blind chance – that is detrimentally missing in the dogma that modern science has created from Darwin’s vision. Without ever imposing God on us this great book brings agnostics like myself to face the evidence.

Best Philosphical/Scientific Book of 2009
Posted November 17, 2009, 7:07 PM EST: Dr Calleman’s new book is one of the best I have read in many years. It presents a solution to the greatest enigma of them all– the Creation and the Origin of Life. Starting in the beginning with the latest data from the WMAP which suggests a Central Axis to our universe (dubbed Axis of Evil), Dr Calleman uses the fractal scaling of the Mayan calendar to trace the trajectory of the development of life and this he does with great success: The Mayan calendar does map successfully into the history of our universe in the most uncanny way. The Shamanic vision of the Mayans was able to take in the whole of reality and that vision lines up almost completely with the science of the early 21th century, the time of the Mayan End Date. Dr Calleman, who holds a doctorate in bio-physics, has all but delivered the death blow to some aspects of both the Modern Synthesis and the Standard Model. He has established Purpose and Design where cowed and intimidated scientists see only randomness. We are dealing here with no less than a new Summa to all scientific knowledge and the author is the second coming of Bergson and Theilhard de Chardin. Aside from a few typos and a few foreignisms (the author grew up in Sweden) the style is crisp, lucid, and fresh. The photographs are of poor quality but the line drawings are marvelous and enlightening. All in all “The Purposeful Universe” is a breakthrough book of astounding depth of knowledge and understanding. A copy should find its way into every high school biology classroom. This book is the best counter to certain remarks by Steven Weinberg about the Universe being “pointless” and certain writings of Dennett, Dawkins, and the rest of the propagandists for the promotion of life and consciousness as “epiphenomena”. Calleman belongs to the old Chain of Being school as celebrated by Lovejoy and Arthur Koestler a few generations ago and whose principle proponent today is Ken Wilber. Calleman is the true successor to Bergson who saw Intuition as more important than the “geometric” side of the human intellect and “Purposeful Universe” is a highly Wilberian text. There are also similarities to Rupert Sheldrake. But Calleman is more impressive than either in the sense that he is more concrete– more concrete in his knowledge of physics and biology and more focused because he is one of the world’s foremost Mayan scholars. This is a formidable range of power for one man and I think this book will lead to a discontinuity in the history of the philosphy of science.

Great review Stephen,
For those in Australia interested in this topic, ABC-TV is currently running a series on Sundays on Darwin and his Origin of the Species.
It must also be remembered that even though science does all it can to ignore Darwin’s so-called LOST theory, it is one that Darwin considered far more important than his Origin of the Species. It was his theory on LOVE.
Yes, in his later years, Darwin disliked all the fuss over Origin of the Species and said that the most important thing for the continuation of the species is LOVE. See the following link for an overview.

Hello
Thank you so much for your interest in our site.
I would love to respond but unfortunately we can’t understand your language.
If you can submit again in English that would be great
Love
