Coherent Self, Coherent World: A New Synthesis Of Myth, Metaphysics & Bohm's Implicate Order Kindle Edition

4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 17 ratings

Greater coherence follows in every aspect of our lives when we learn to use the magical tool of consciousness. Diana Durham shows that we do this by connecting to our deeper self. She draws on her unique understanding of myth and ancient sacred texts as well as time spent in dialogue with theoretical physicist David Bohm to guide us on the path to personal coherence. In a poetic, accessible style, Diana argues passionately that understanding who we are and how we work is not only the key to individual fulfilment, but also the way through to a sustainable future for us all.

This is a beautiful work of art that when you find it is when you need it. And it has the power to bring your inner self and outer self into alignment allowing creative energy to flow and meaning to unfold.
Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2019
In Coherent Self, Coherent World, Diana Durham weaves a synthesis of various thought-streams into an easily understandable presentation of what might, to many, seem a difficult-to-grasp theme: true identity. I enjoyed the author's phrasing and word-craft, but much more the experience I felt invited into of where her words were coming from. There's a quality of genuineness about this work that touches what is best and finest in each of us.

Review of ‘Coherent Self – Coherent World’ by Diana Durham.
Diana Durham is one of those rare people who have succeeded in balancing an incisive curiosity with the deep feeling of an empathic poet. This enables her to bring her own unique powers of perception to the deep questions of our time.
In ‘Coherent Self – Coherent World’ she uses her special talents to demonstrate that the interplay between our inner being and outer world can open a door to greater understanding of creative living and human purpose. The result is compelling! No source is seen as too unlikely to throw light on the great mystery of life, so ancient stories and designs, contemporary events, the findings of leading edge physics, and much more, all ‘hidden in plain sight’, yield up their secrets under Diana’s scrutiny. The decoding of each symbolic message brings new meaning, but also reveals others that beckon us on. Every avenue explored fuels our sense of adventure with twists in the tale that invoke awe and reverence for the beauty of Life’s design.
The individual quest for meaningful identity and Self leads inexorably, even dauntingly, to my very own seat at the ‘Round Table’ of collective endeavour, and, if I choose to sit in it, the beginning of a whole new journey together. This is a voyage upon which the family of humanity has, as yet, barely embarked. The invitation to do so, however, which is implicit in this book, comes with tantalising glimpses of our capacity to transform wasteland into wonder-land, and to know, at the level of undeniable inner experience, the truth that we are indeed ‘More than the sum of the parts’. As always, though, the choice remains with us, and never has it been more important to R S V P !

5.0 out of 5 stars An important book.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 1, 2020
This is an important book. I would warmly recommend anyone interested in consciousness, identity and the imagination to read it. Diana Durham draws upon a life-time of research and personal spiritual and psychological experience. The books concentration and concision also appeal. There is much to contemplate and consider here. This is a book I shall return to.
