Preface:

 

"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. Goswamis 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 of 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.
