The Monad Manifesto: Merging Science and Spirituality
As scientists probe deeper into the nature of reality, they are discovering that conscious-ness is at the root of everything. What we believed were the laws of physics and matter are really the archetypal laws of mind, and the condensation of consciousness that created our universe originated from a dimensionless point in the void known in physics as the “Singularity” and in mathematics and philosophy as the “Monad.”
In philosophy, the Monad is the is the indivisible source that created our reality. In mathematics, it is the origin of all numbers and geometry that describe Nature. In science, the Monad is the Big Bang explosion of consciousness, which physicist Erwin Schrödinger described as “a singularity phasing within all beings.”
In ancient Egypt, the idea of the monadic “Aten” inspired the first monotheistic religion, and the concept of the Monad was a key principle in the development of Hinduism, Taoism, and Buddhism. In Gnosticism, the Monad is the One God at the root of the pleroma, the infinite fount of matter and energy in the universe. Renaissance scientists like Giordano Bruno, Gottlieb Leibnitz, and John Dee touted the Monad as the key to understanding the whole of Nature. And the concept of a monadic universe in which one’s soul can rise to unite with the universal Soul, inspired scores of philosophers, theologians, writers, and artists of the Age of Enlightenment in the 17th and 18th centuries. By the late 20th century, an interdisciplinary science of Conscious-ness Studies emerged dedicated to solving the puzzle of consciousness and under-standing the mysterious monadic origin of the universe. Most of the pieces to that puzzle are already in place, and we are just beginning to glimpse the overall picture. It’s not like anything we ever expected.

About the author
Dennis William Hauck
42 books57 followersDennis William Hauck is a researcher, author, and lecturer in consciousness studies. His primary focus is on levels of awareness and the mechanisms of transformation of consciousness. He works to document the evolution of a science of consciousness and merge various philosophical and scientific traditions into a unified theory of consciousness. He has also contributed to related areas, including the history of science, psychology, and the serious study of paranormal and mystical experiences.
Hauck is considered a leading authority on Hermeticism and alchemy. According to Bernard Lightman in “A Companion to the History of Science:” "Dennis William Hauck is a prolific author and has been at the center of efforts to institutionalize modern alchemy through a number of organizations, conferences, and journals. For Hauck, classical science has its limits, in that it can explain only our physical reality, not the deeper hidden reality from which the physical stems. He decided that alchemy offered one path to that hidden reality, and so, decided to discover solid evidence and challenge the dominant Newtonian paradigm."
According to Hauck, the Philosopher’s Stone of the alchemists is consciousness itself: “The Stone exists in the formative realm between energy and matter, suspended in the twilight between what exists and what does not exist. Renaissance alchemists described the mind as a magical touchstone made from a hidden etheric substance that is distributed throughout the universe. That substance is consciousness."
Most of Hauck’s recent works focus on the application of the principles of alchemy to psychology and cosmology. His “The Emerald Tablet: Alchemy for Personal Transformation” presents new revelations about the ancient artifact that became the core document of alchemists. His “Sorcerer’s Stone: A Beginner’s Guide to Alchemy” elaborates the operations alchemists used on all levels of their practical and spiritual work. His “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Alchemy is an introduction to all levels of alchemical work. He has also translated several important German and Latin alchemy manuscripts into English.
Hauck has been interviewed on nearly 300 radio programs, including such national shows as NPR’s "Morning Edition", “Art Bell Show” and many other programs carried by networks such as CBS Radio, CNN Radio, Talk Radio Network and the Wisdom Radio Network. He has also appeared on over forty television programs, including such national shows as “Geraldo,” “Sally Jessy Raphael,” “The O'Reilly Factor,” “Extra,” “CNN Reports,” A&E's "Unexplained", “Sightings,” “Terry Bradshaw’s Home Team,” “America's Talking: and other shows on the History Channel, Travel Channel and Discovery Channel.

The first chapter of this book—the Manifesto itself—is exciting and thought-provoking—I really enjoyed reading it. The following six chapters expand on the ideas presented. The chapters on the Monad (or Singularity) in philosophy, science, and cosmology trace the development of the concept in Western and Eastern thought. Then, there is a chapter on the Monad in mathematics, which I admit was a bit challenging for me. But the tech stuff is balanced in two more very personal, intuitive chapters. “Experiences of the Monad” is a case-study of the ways people experience monadic reality, and “Monad Meditations” has useful methods developed down through the ages to connect to the universal source of awareness. Overall, this book is pretty unique in its depth and the way it organizes material in a clear and concise way.

Almost two-thirds of the book (first five chapters) traces the very detailed history of the concept of “Monad”, citing many dozens of different people and disciplines, including the Heremetics, Janists, Gnostics, Arabians, Persians, Neoplatonists, Muslims, Buddhists, Alchemists, Persians, up to modern times.
The last third of the book (Chapters 6 and 7) is about “Monastic Experiences”, which studies the personal Monadic experiences of notable people such as Dante, Jacob Boehme, Alfred Lord Tennyson, William Wordsworth, and Walt Whitman, and the “Monad Meditations”, of such notables as Marcus Aurelius, Siddhartha Gautam, Dzogchen, and Rembrandt.
Unfortunately, perhaps because I received an advanced copy, the book was not well-edited. I noticed 17 edits, including 4 missing illustrations.
Overall, the book provides a fascinating history and application of monadic experience.

In The Monad Manifesto The author looks at ancient text all the way to current day theorist all to back up his monad opinion. From all reality two The galaxy and even Mow no matter what school of thought or science it all comes down to singularity. I must be honest inside this book blew my mind and double a couple of chapters I felt like I was running to keep up but all in all it’s very interesting and even if you have a passing interest in what makes a tic and that around us you should read this book. Please forgive any errors as I am blind and dictate my review I was given this book by book Sirens and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
