SUMMARY:The Official Launch Event for Consciousness Came First
DESCRIPTION:After many years of research\, study and reflection\, I am delighted to invite you to the official launch event for my latest book\, Consciousness Came First: Revealing Evidence for Universal Intelligence and Mind Beyond the Brain. \nHosted by The Fintry Trust on Saturday\, 31 October 2026\, this special afternoon offers an opportunity to explore the principal themes of the book and to reflect together upon one of humanity’s most enduring questions. \nReserve Your Place \nAttendance is limited to just 25 guests. Advance booking is essential.  \nPlease Register here\n  \nWhat is consciousness?\nDoes the brain generate consciousness\, or is consciousness itself the fundamental reality from which life and mind emerge? \nThese questions have occupied philosophers\, scientists\, sages and spiritual traditions throughout the ages. Drawing upon more than fifty years of research into science\, philosophy and the Perennial Philosophy\, Consciousness Came First brings together evidence from modern scientific enquiry and the timeless wisdom traditions to explore the possibility that consciousness is not a by-product of matter\, but the very foundation of existence. \nAt a time when humanity possesses unprecedented technological power yet continues to wrestle with questions of meaning\, purpose and identity\, a deeper understanding of consciousness has never been more important. \nDuring the afternoon\, Edi will introduce the central ideas explored in the book\, followed by discussion\, a book signing\, and tea with homemade cake in the beautiful surroundings of The Fintry Trust. \nI very much hope you will be able to join us for what promises to be a thoughtful and enjoyable afternoon. \nEvent Details\nDateSaturday\, 31 October 2026 \nPresentation2.00 pm – 3.30 pm \nHouse & grounds open until 5.00 pm \nVenueThe Fintry TrustChurch LaneBrook\, GodalmingSurrey GU8 5UQ \nAdmission£10 (includes refreshments) \nAttendance is limited to just 25 guests. \nPlease use the booking link below to reserve your place at the Consciousness Came First launch event. \nImage Credit\nBook cover artwork\, Lights Within\, by Joma Sipe.
