Science and Spirituality: A Quantum IntegrationProject of History of Indian Science, Philosophy, and Culture, 2000 - 183 pages Illustrations: 4 Figures Description: The four-hundred year split between science and spirituality is now bridged. With the publication of Science and Spirituality: A Quantum Integration, the authors have demonstrated not only the long-suspected metaphysical unity of science and spirituality but also their cosmological and methodological unity. Crucial to the new integration are ideas of quantum physics and quantum leaps, which embody a new science based on the primacy of consciousness as propounded in the Upanishads. Goswami's show in this paradigm-shifting book that not only can the paradoxes of quantum physics be resolved on the basis of a spiritual universe but also well-known paradoxes of life, mind, and health. With equally competent exposition and scientific theory and experimental data and spiritual cosmologies and practices, the authors take you through a scientific exploration of spirituality that is truly breathtaking. Even ideas of survival after death, reincarnation, and immortality are included. All the monumental traditions of India, Vedanta, Yoga, and Tantra, become alive in their connectedness with this newest science within consciousness. This book will be useful for scholars and general readers as well. |
