On the final page the author writes " Yes, the world has some serious problems, but if we did not have problems, we would never be forced to find new solutions. Problems push progress forward. Let's embrace our ultimate existential challenges and come together to solve them. It is time to forget our differences and think of ourselves only as humans, engaged in a common biological and moral struggle. If the cosmic perspective, and the philosophy of poetic meta-naturalism, or some similar world-view of evolution and emergence, can build a bridge between the reductionist worldview and the religions of the world, then we can be optimistic that anew level of order and functionality will emerge from the current sea of chaos. " p279.
On p. 258 he asks readers to take a look at the well-know American philosopher, Thomas Nagel, and his book Mind and Cosmos and the concept that we, and scientists as well, may need non-physical laws to "more appropriate to describe them as new laws of physics, as Shroedinger suggested in his book What is Life."
It's a long and thoughtful book that ought to be a 'daring' read for all of us, whether we go to church and have a Faith based Life, or whether we currently claim we are atheists or scientists.
Our understanding of life, the universe and our own biological system appears increasingly to function somewhat like the unified Gaia theory where we are somehow, and somewhere, tied together in 'computer' feed-back loops, and with the accelerating changes in every area already visible with AI insights, it is not unlikely that human kind will, in part, increasingly be interfaced with digital systems. Nor is it unlikely that humankind will have small colonies on the Moon, or several planets before the end of this century.
Mr. Azarian has done an exemplary job leading thoughtful readers through the deeply controversial moral, faith and scientific theories that underpin our current basis for living together. Young people especially, can benefit from re-thinking some of the premises they want to base their lives on.

An incredibly well synthesized philosophical theory of everything (PTOE)
This book should be required reading for all those interested in a deep understanding of the nature of reality. Bobby Azarian masterfully weaves together dozens of important concepts and their historical origins into a brilliant picture of what is going on in our universe. With this work, we can truly see how close we are to “waking up” as a universe, and perhaps understanding the nature of our reality.A philosophical theory of everything (PTOE), to me, is a theory which doesn’t quite have a fully mechanistic explanation that can be run on a computer, and/or used to predict all of our various perceptions. I would argue that a PTOE is a necessary stepping stone towards a true TOE. In this way, it’s paramount for those interested in understanding the nature of reality to see examples of how PTOEs are crafted, such that they can make their own and ideally turn it into a full blown TOE.I know of no other work that brings together these particular concepts into a cohesive story in a way that is graspable by even the lay person. I would certainly recommend it to anyone trying to get a good high level understanding of many scientific concepts which currently do a great job at describing different facets of our world, as well as how they might be connected together to create a true TOE.I have plenty of gripes/disagreements with certain views that Bobby seems to have, and even sometimes with the way those views are delivered, but that's what PTOEs are all about. Strong convictions, loosely held. It's meant to be provocative. Hopefully, this provocation drives YOU to actually do something about it... To fix what bothers you, to make your very own PTOE, or perhaps even a true TOE.
