MYSTICISM AND SCIENCE |
||
Swami Abhayananda Do we live in a world that is alive and conscious, intelligently informed and ordered by an invisible presence? There is today an emerging revolution in science, sociology and psychology that is transforming our rational, technologically driven Western culture. Since Einstein's quantum physics, the Newtonian mechanistic paradigm of science has shifted towards a synchronistic paradigm that views the universe as a living network of acausal interconnectedness. "Mysticism and Science" illuminates this emerging mystical view and calls for science to accept the existence of another valid means of knowledge to explore and describe reality. Abhayananda writes from the vantage point of his own vivid mystical experience and conveys not only the divine nature of the quantum interconnectedness of the universe, but also the mystic's vision of the one transcendent and immanent intelligence that created the cosmos. Science must accept the age-old knowledge of the mystics (gnosis) and be reconciled with an alternative, complementary path to knowledge. (136 pages) Publisher: Orca Books ISBN 9781846940323 |
