The Super Story is a poetic device designed to embrace all of those emergent mythologies and mystical currents that have been developing over the last two centuries in deep conversation with the sciences, particularly (1) cosmology, mathematics, and quantum physics, (2) evolutionary biology and (3) technology. Apocalypse as Disclosure (the two words literally mean the same thing) is as much about the “end of the world” as it is about the “revelation of the real.” Both are emphasized here. The Super Story trilogy will move through these scientific complexes (physics, biology, and technology) and explore the various ways that such sciences are radically altering our understanding of human nature and the cosmos itself and, alternatively, how they themselves are often secretly informed by the anomalous or paranormal experiences of the scientists themselves. Wolfgang Pauli, for example, was a major architect of quantum physics. He was also a walking poltergeist and the man who helped C. G. Jung forge “synchronicity.” This is the idea that meaning is not reducible to social or historical context but is sometimes woven into physical reality itself and is particularly apparent in altered states of consciousness and energy.

Such a trilogy is “super” in this sense: it foregrounds or emphasizes those moments of “transcendence,” in this case a kind of vertical dimension that cannot be slotted into the two-dimensional flatlands of society and science.
