Description

Rochester, VT: Inner Traditions, 2006. What scientists are now finding at the outermost frontiers of every field is overturning the basic premises of Western civilization concerning the nature of matter and reality. The universe is not a world of separate things and events but is a cosmos that is connected, coherent, and bears a profound resemblance to the visions held in the earliest spiritual traditions in which the physical world and spiritual experience were both aspects of the same reality, and man and the universe were one. The author explains how physical reality and spiritual reality are indeed two faces of one coherent whole. He also is joined by leading thinkers such as Jane Goodall, Edgar Mitchell, Stanislav Grof and Ralph Abraham, among others, who contribute essays that explore the sense of sacred oneness experienced by our ancestors that was displaced by the unyielding material presumptions of modern science. Together they reveal how this sacred and integrated vision of reality can be restored, enabling humanity to once again feel at home in the universe. 217 pages including references for further reading and an index..
