Bridging the gap between science and the world’s great spiritual traditions to move our worldview forward • With contributions from 28 leading scientists and spiritual thinkers, including Michael Beckwith, Deepak Chopra, Larry Dossey, Amit Goswami, Stanislav Grof, Jean Houston, Barbara Marx Hubbard, José Argüelles, and Peter Russell • Offers strategies to promote the fusion of science and spirituality • Explores phenomena at the crossroads of science and religion, such as the nonlocal mind, conscious evolution, and quantum consciousness Edited by Nobel Prize nominee Ervin Laszlo and WorldShift International cofounder Kingsley Dennis, this volume brings together 28 leading scientists and spiritual thinkers for a game-changing conversation on bridging the gap between science and religion. With contributions by Michael Beckwith, Deepak Chopra, Larry Dossey, Amit Goswami, Stanislav Grof, Jean Houston, Barbara Marx Hubbard, José Argüelles, Peter Russell, and many other prominent visionaries, this collection explores phenomena at the crossroads of science and religion, such as the nonlocal mind, conscious evolution, and quantum consciousness, and offers strategies to promote the fusion of science and spirituality and develop a multiperson planetary consciousness. This book reveals higher consciousness as the bridge between science and spirit, passionate curiosity as the common ground among scientists and seekers, and the urgent need for an alliance between science and the great traditions of spiritual wisdom to move our worldview forward and meet today’s global challenges.

You have been taught, by most of society, that Science has proven that there can be no God. That is nonsense - this is just a belief, even a Dogma of Science, but it is not possible to use Science to discuss the presence of a God. That sort of thing was assumed out when Traditional Science was born almost four centuries ago, and for good reason. There was way too much to do in the study of mass and Energy - besides no one knew how to measure a thought, an emotion, a belief, etc., way back then. Although we now know how to measure brain changes when we experience such things, we still do not know how to actually measure any of these 'pure information' processes as such. If you are going to do something well, you must first establish a sound foundation. Listing all of your explicit (openly stated) assumptions and also finding out your implicit (implied, but not yet openly stated) assumptions is critical. Study of the history of Science shows that this has not yet been done well. Some really important work is needed here. So far much of Science has been built upon shifting sand. Ever since the great discoveries of the early 1900s, where it became obvious that emotional thoughts could really influence the state of waves and particles, then the reality of probability at the foundation of matter, changes should have been made in how we taught ourselves about Science. When Einstein showed us that mass and energy were just two states of the same thing, more changes in teaching about the founding assumptions of interactions was needed. When he then showed us (proven by others) that gravity distorted space, even more interactions came to light. In just about every field of Science, new interactions are showing up all of the time. The supposed of leaders of scientific societies have responded by making the impossibility of some interactions a definite Dogma that cannot be discussed, let alone questioned. The study of Philosophy, within which the spirituality of Religions is found, has been seriously damaged by most experts who try to use the logical processes of Science in a field that is all about non-logical processes. Logic can only be a minor tool here, when you start studying thoughts, emotions, out-of-body experiences, belief processes and effects, etc. In the Far East, some gurus and avatars are doing totally non-logical things, but that is not being properly studied by many scientists; because these things are non-logical and cannot be true - therefore cannot be studied. This latter choice is certainly anti-Science, but is pervasive in many fields worthy of study. If it is supposedly not true, than that should be shown to be a newly-defined reality. Only when Theology, as well as Philosophy as a whole, start to use non-logical approaches to study the field of non-logical processes will we see huge strides in this area. You are a spiritual being having a human experience. This human journey will bring you lessons to be learned as you grow in understanding; as well as required action, in your destined quest towards your Divine Creator (who we call God, Allah, Jehovah, etc.). Humans seem to have a very powerful need to understand both Who we are and Why we are here; although that has largely been trained out of us, even on our parent's knee. In the end, however, you will have to find out and follow your path to The Way that will help you grow spiritually. In the end, Destiny will win out! This small book is meant to stir up the interest of you readers who are starting to wonder about these critical 'Who we are' and 'Why we are here' questions. It is written by a student, for other students. We humans are evolving from the thinking but fearful Homo sapiens species into the loving Homo spiritus species. Learning how to truly Love demands an answer to these great questions. The time to start on your journey is NOW!

Addressing fundamental questions about life, death and the universe, Science and the Spiritual Questexamines the ways in which scientists negotiate the complex frontiers between their scientific and religious beliefs. Distinguished cosmologists, physicians, biologists and computer scientists of different faiths explore the connections between the domain of science and the realms of ethics, spirituality and the divine. Through essays and frank interviews, they offer honest, stimulating, and often intensely personal thoughts about life's most impenetrable mysteries. This unique volume presents radical new approaches to the religion/science debate and highlights the continued importance of the 'spiritual quest' in a world transformed by the developments of science.

Has the modern scientific world robbed our lives of a deeper sense of meaning and purpose? Has science rendered God irrelevant? Or can science actually bring us towards a deeper spiritual understanding and a greater sense of joy in our daily lives? Space scientist and physicist Anthony Mannucci explores these questions from a unique point of view. He begins by stating the obvious: everyone wants a sense of purpose and meaning to their lives. How to achieve it? Dr. Mannucci’s narrative takes us down a path where science is a starting point for something deeper. He reveals an Absolute Truth that is central to science and to our nature as spiritual beings. Dr. Mannucci expertly explains the power and the limitations of science. He reveals that science and spirituality are not distant cousins but in fact share a bond. What follows is an exploration of mind, and how exploring the nature of mind leads us to a deeper appreciation of our spiritual nature. Dr. Mannucci shows how the right words and ideas can change your life. In concluding the book, Dr. Mannucci discusses the importance of mystery and awe, two emotions familiar to every scientist. You will find the ideas in this book original and refreshing, conveying a message of hope and joy. Those who embrace these words will not regret their decision.

A mindfulness expert whose work has been hailed by Eckhart Tolle as “an important contribution to the shift in consciousness” offers a new vision of reality—one that is compatible with modern science and ancient spirituality. “With elegance and lucidity, Steve Taylor explains why spiritual science is the only hope for humanity.” —Deepak Chopra It is often assumed that there are two ways of interpreting the world: a rational scientific way, or an irrational religious way. Mindfulness expert, Steve Taylor, shows that there is a third possibility—a spiritual, or “panspiritist”, view of reality that transcends both conventional science and religion, recognizes spirit or consciousness as fundamental, and answers many of the riddles that neither can explain. Here, Taylor puts forward the evidence for a spiritual view of reality and examines the development and consequences of the materialist model. Drawing on the insights of philosophers, physicists, mystics, as well as spiritual traditions and indigenous cultures, he also systematically shows how a ‘panspiritist’ view can explain many puzzling aspects of science and the world such as: • human consciousness • altruism • near-death experiences • telepathy and pre-cognition • quantum physics • the placebo effect • neuroplasticity A compelling argument for a new vision of reality, Spiritual Science offers a bright vision of the world as sacred and interconnected, and of human life as meaningful and purposeful.
