Black Is the Womb of All Things: A Memoir

By Edgar C Reed

This book seeks to gain deeper meaning and insight from a dream. A dream in which I was immersed in a primordial blackness-composed of two contrasting forces. They were not at war, nor dominating one another. Rather, they danced: subtle, slow, and eternal. Out of that dream arose a question that has since echoed through every page of my work. Could everything that exists-emerge from two contrasting forces alone? What followed was not just interpretation, but inquiry, not analysis alone but reverence. This book is part dream memoir, part metaphysical meditation, part philosophical invocation. It seeks to explore the sacred polarity at the heart of being: light and dark, masculine and feminine, positive and negative, known and unknowable. Cultures across time have preserved a deep memory: that creation is born through union. And that union is only possible where difference is honored. This is a search for the underlying rhythm of the cosmos-the sacred pattern that pulses beneath life and death. At its center lies the question: Why have two contrasting forces-often conceived as positive and negative, light and dark, masculine and feminine, active and passive-been preserved with such reverence across cultures?
