Conscious Energy and the Evolution of Philosophy
by Joe P. Provenzano
This is a book about philosophy, but it is a book for everyone—everyone who has ever wondered about the meaning of the universe and human life—because it provides answers to two fundamental questions: What is it all about? and How should we live?
Paperback $19.95 | Kindle $9.99
Synthesis and Review
Conscious Energy, The Fallen Angel Model, and the Catholic Church by Joe Provenzano, Dcn. Ron Morgan, and Dan Provenzano (January 2022)
Book Review of the 1st Edition, The Teilhard Review by Tom Baxter (Autumn, 1993)
TESTIMONIALS
“The Philosophy of Conscious Energy provides a way to understand how an immortal soul, as understood by Scripture and theology, could emerge through an evolutionary process. That’s because it is a process of increasing consciousness and complexity guided by God, who is the author of the Law of Consciousness and Complexity.” — Deacon Ron Morgan (2021)
“Provenzano has written an interesting and thought-provoking book on a fascinating part of philosophy, namely consciousness. I benefited greatly from his summary and categorization of the main philosophers in history which comprises the first half of the book.” — Dave Palmer (2021), Dave Palmer Summa Theologica YouTube Channel
“[Provenzano] provides an immediately understandable portrayal of the key concepts of Teilhard’s thought and of its implications. This summary is without doubt the clearest that I have read on Teilhard.” — Editor, The Teilhard Review (1993)
“According to Provenzano, ‘What is it all about?’ and ‘How should we live?’ are the ‘Two Big Questions’ philosophy should answer if it is to benefit the human race…Conscious Energy is a challenging and thought-provoking work that once again places ‘The Two Big Questions’ at the center of philosophical inquiry.” — Bodhi Tree Bookstore, Los Angeles (1996)
“What a wonderful book this philosophy of Conscious Energy is! An uncle gave me a copy a good few years ago, and reading it had a profound effect on me. I have been interested in Teilhard’s thought for years, and this book really clarified & crystallised his concepts for me. I love the fact that Provenzano is humble enough to encourage his readers to ask their own questions and to seek their own answers using this philosophy of conscious energy. I often revisit the book, and as time goes on, I am more and more grateful for it. I see the truth of it in the world & in my life more deeply as I get older. It has given me a framework for my personal & spiritual growth, and a way of making sense of life.” — Chris Dunne, London, England
