science and spirituality

[Guest guest]

Recently I came across a book that deals with the

subject of Science and spirituality in a very balanced

manner. You may like to have a look at the book.

 

The book is called Whispering Pond by Ervine Laszlo

published in 1996.

 

One of the interesting conclusions that come out of the

book is the idea that the underlying unity - modern

science is searching for (in its theory of everything)

may be something like the concepts of 'Akash and Prana' that

Swami Vivekananda talked about in his lecture on Rajayoga.

The author quotes from that text.

 

There are quite a few other interesting books that deal with

the theme of 'Science and spirituality'.

 

I recently read another book called 'The Self Aware Universe' by

Amit Goswami. He is a Professor of Physics at Univ of Oregon.

The author has handled the ideas of quantum mechanics in an

admirable way but his understanding of the 'spiritual side' of

the debate is pretty weak.
