A Dog Ear'd Cosmos

In "Dog Ear'd Cosmos" an unlikely discussion with a childhood canine companion unfolds - as together, "man and beast" work to re-establish a brambled and long neglected trailhead leading toward an authentic western "yoga of the Mind." With a good measure of courage, the author asks profound mental house-cleaning questions, sweeping away cobwebs left over from our rapid and fragmenting explosion into scientific know-how. In process, Thompson, the barking "better-half" of this Socratic dialogue, reveals his-Self as sharing in a wisdom far beyond his caretaker's reckoning. The canine companion of David's youth offers good-natured correction, comfort, and clarifying perspectives on topics including: Blind-spots within Scientific Cosmology; Gratitude, Happiness, and confusion; a Physics of Contemplation; Entropic Power of the Spoken Word; and a compassionate "Self-Centeredness."
