Cosmology

Cosmology means the study of the universe.  But one could distinguish between physical Cosmology, the Cosmology of science and physics (e.g. the "Big Bang" Theory of the expanding universe), and metaphyscal or "esoteric' or "occult" Cosmology.  The latter refers not only to the physical universe, but also to all the subtle or non-physical universes as well; the higher realms of existence - psychic, spiritual, and so on - that are beyond the physical

Theory of Everything

The following is only a partial and extremely incomplete list of Theories of Everything. Some (such as Jantsch and Lovelock), are purely hard science, others are concerned with psychology or sociology, others with education, others religion or spirituality and science. Where Theories of Everything are not only involved with teh material world, but consciousness and spirituality as well, they become Integral theories or worldviews.
