I found Pierre Teilhard de Chardin's THE HEART OF MATTER to be fascinating, and mystically satisfying. His ideas about evolution, the living, thinking Earth, the noosphere, and the universal Christ are astonishing! The noosphere is particularly interesting, featuring mankind w/ one collective mind, while retaining individuality. A race evolving toward its ultimate destiny, unable to be thwarted by the madness of human life, even war. In fact, Teilhard's greatest epiphany came to him while he was fighting in World War One! This section, written during the fierce insanity of battle, is incredibly astute and enlightening. To Teilhard, our planet is a rocky skeleton, covered by biological life, and made sentient by the arrival of man. Though Teilhard passed away many years before its invention, one can only wonder what he would have thought of the internet! It seems to fulfill many of the very things he wrote about so prolifically! Highly recommended to the seeker of more challenging spiritual material, as well as those looking for something completely out of the ordinary...Product details

The Heart of Matter edition by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
Most important writer born in decades
I didn't know anything about "interspirituality". I found this a seminal treatment on the topic. It was precise and comprehensive.
Profound autobiographical reflections of a mystic, priest and scientist.
I've already commented on the work of Chardin. I think anyone living today who is open and hoping for inspiration.....as well as those who are closed minded at the moment, will read this.....take the risk. You will be changed beyond your wildest dreams.
For those of us without a background in any of the sciences, or who have struggled to better understand Pere Teilhard deChardin’s early, writings , these later essays help enormously.
There is a deep humanity in them, that is touching to read,whether one is religious or not.

Certainly Teilhard has meant for me too much at the point that when I write or say anything about him I just do what he said
"As the result of the awakening in me of the notion of Evolution, Spirit(As I have just related) had, in my view, supplanted the Mineral and the Atomic in their dignity as the immutable and the all-embracing essence of the Universe. But as this Spirit, vaguely conceived as some sort of opposite pole to the physicist's Energy, was still, in my mind(and was so to remain for a long time) without any precise structure two innate and obstinate prejudices prevented me from facing and coming in terms with the fact(obvious though it was) that if the World does indeed represent an organo-dynamic system which is in process of psychic interiorization, then it is through the Flesh, by process of Hominization, that Noogenesis operates."
Of course Hominization and Noogesis are some of the main pilars of Evolution the evolution of Man and the Evolution of the Noos, a greek word that can mean for us, either mind or spirit.
And there you have a beautiful mind that solved the great problem of mankind since Galileo, I mean, the problem between Science and Religion, from the very within of Catholicism, something that I really have never understood how he could do it!

Ciertamente Teilhard ha significado mucho para mí, al punto que cuando hablo o escribo sobre él, simplemente lo cito
"Como consecuencia del despertar en mí de la noción de Evolución, el Espíritu(como acabo de decir) había suplantado a mis ojos al Mineral y a lo Atómico en su dignidad de esencia inalterable y envolvente del Universo. Pero este Espíritu, concebido vagamente a la manera de una suerte de antípoda de la Energía del físico, permanecía - y permanecería largo tiempo- para mí sin estructura precisa dos prejuicios innatos y tenaces me disuadían de mirar de frente, y asimilar, el hecho (bastante claro, sin embargo de que, aunque el Mundo represente verdaderamente un sistema órgano-dinámico en vías de interiorización psíquica, es a través de la Carne, por la vía de la Hominización, como se opera la Noogénesis."
Desde luego la Hominización y la Noogénesis, algunos de los pilares principales de la Evolución la evolución del hombre y la evolución de la Noos, una palabra griega que puede significar mente e espíritu.
Y ahí tenemos una Mente Brillante que resolvió el gran problema de la humanidad desde Galileo, quiero decir, el problema entre la Ciencia y la Religión desde muy adentro del Catolicismo, ¡algo que realmente nunca he entendido como pudo hacerlo!
I give the content 4 stars, but the edition only two. The essays in this collection are important for anyone looking to understand the depth of Teilhard's thought. The edition, unfortunately, is full of typos (my favorite is the word "fact" appearing instead as "fart"). The overall impression in the edition is that someone scanned the print edition and took the result directly to without proofreading it. Sloppy work.
