Twentieth-century developments in quantum physics, together with an emerging science of consciousness, have created the need for a new cosmology, or model of the universe. The theory of process contained in THE REFLEXIVE UNIVERSE places consciousness within the context of contemporary science. One of the central themes of this extraordinary work is that each successive organization of matter, from fundamental particles in physics to living organisms, expresses a particular stage in the evolution of mind. Starting with the photon, the basic unit of light, and moving through atomic physics, molecular chemistry, the morphology of plants and animals and finally to levels of human evolution, Young develops his theory in vivid step-by-step detail. Consciousness, in his point of view, is not isolated from the material universe. It exists in a continuum, one in which physical and nonphysical realms can be linked and the teachings of mythology and religion can be integrated.

I have to give this book a high rating for its sheer originality of thought. Undoubtedly influenced by Theosophic ideas, Young takes its thread and runs with it. You do not have to believe his conclusions to appreciate the splendour of his creativity. Unfortunately there are a lot of YouTube videos of him "way past his prime". Read this book when he was in his full glory. ( )

The purpose of this book is to develop a theory of the evolution of the "universe," and by universe we are referrring principally to the one of which man is a part. This requires a foundation in which the laws of physics are integrated with the testimony consistently expressed by empirical evidence not explained by science, such as ESP, as well as by spiritual insights. It establishes a formal system in which consciousness, especially higher consciousness, can exist.
