Changing the meaning of Cosmology is challenging from three viewpoints.

First, when cosmology was introduced into English, when Isaac Newton was in his early teens, the Cosmic Psyche, as the vast expanse within and beyond the material universe, was completely ignored, as it still is today.

Secondly, the Cosmos, as an ordered whole, comes into existence through the action of the Logos, as Heraclitus explained with a creative, mystical meaning of this Greek word, rather than the many mundane meanings such as ‘word’ or ‘account’. So while Cosmology is described in words in this Glossary, as a coherent theory of the Universe, it actually originates in the utmost depths of the Cosmic Psyche.

Thirdly, when looking at the Totality of Existence from the perspective of the fundamental law of the Universe, it is far from ordered as a coherent whole. We can see this quite clearly from the entanglement of quantum physics and the chaotic complexity of the world we live in.

Nevertheless, evolution, literally meaning ‘unfold’, is helping us explicate what is hidden in the Implicate Order as much as possible. For, as Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and Julian Huxley could see in the 1950s, evolution is becoming fully conscious of itself within us human beings in the Eternal Now at the end of time.
