Timelines
Mysteries of Deep Space – an interactive timeline.
The Great Story Timeline – Connie Barlow and Michael Dowd’s site … perhaps “one of the most concise tellings” of the epic of evolution, as the authors say – these stories always have one’s own bias as to what is considered noteworthy: so delete some and add in your own!
Brian Swimme and Thomas Berry
Brian Thomas Swimme – Center for the Story of the Universe. All his DVD’s are now freely available for viewing. Canticle to the Cosmos is his first, and a bit dated for some, but still very good in my opinion. In The Earth’s Imagination Swimme places the human psyche within the fifteen billion year cosmic process in order to highlight the directions in which human consciousness is evolving today and into the future. There is also The Hidden Heart of the Cosmos, and The Powers of the Universe. There are some excerpts of some DVD’s on YouTube pagaian channel: for example, Brian Swimme Interview: a Cosmological Perspective on the Present, which is excerpted from Neil Rogin’s video The Awakening Universe and an older excerpt from Brian Swimme’s Canticle series Desire, the Universe and Earth-Sun Creativity
Journey of the Universe is Brian Swimme’s most recent video, with a companion twenty part educational series Conversations.
Brian Swimme talks at Google May 2016: “while this account will certainly be in contention with older cultural narratives, it could ultimately lead to positive effects for future human evolution. Brian will point to some of the epic’s long term consequences for humanity as a whole.”
Thomas Berry – Geologian, cultural historian – books, essays, films available here. Some videos of Thomas Berry (and a bit of Brian Swimme) from the 1980’s and 1990’s (from the library of Lou Niznik) that have been made available), and some essays by Thomas Berry. I suggest strongly searching for access to this essay, via the American Teilhard Association: Alienation in a Universe of Presence (2004). And EarthHeart.org is a great resource of Thomas Berry’s work. Remembering Thomas Berry by Noel Debien ABC.
Powers of the Universe – Brian Swimme “Experience the joy of recognizing that you are the Universe.” “Develop a deeper intimacy with Earth, an erotic relationship with Life.” “The cosmological powers of the Universe are coursing through us moment by moment.”

Genesis of the Cosmos: The Ancient Science of Continuous Creation by Paul A. LaViolette – exposes the contradictions in the Big Bang theory and offers a scientific basis for the ancient myths and esoteric lore that encode a theory of continuous creation.
