Sorry to spam, but I have only so many ways to reach prospective readers,
and I sincerely believe that the subject will be of interest to members of
this group.



My new book, Science and Spirit, is now available. You can find out more
at the publisher's site:

Like many here, I'm certain, I've been blessed with a vision of the fabric
of reality that is quite different from the limited cross-section revealed
by our five mundane senses. In my case, these visions were strongly
influenced by my educational background in physics. Naturally, I was a big
fan of The Dancing Wu Li Masters, and The Tao of Physics, however, it
always struck me that these books were trying to elucidate the
mind-bending implications of physics using the equally abstruse concepts
of Eastern mysticism. In Science and Spirit, I take the opposite approach.
You see, it occurred to me that most educated people today have at least a
passing familiarity with the implications of science. We know, for
example (to our great sorrow) that atom bombs work, and hence, that
Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity is essentially accurate. We know
that our computers work, and (whether we realize it or not) this implies
that crucial tenets of Quantum Mechanics are also 'real'. In a nutshell,
we don't really need help believing in science. On the contrary, the
undeniable evidence of science often makes belief in the spiritual or
paranormal difficult to sustain. Hence, my purpose in writing Science and
Spirit was to provide an APODICTIC series of argument that demonstrate
that belief in science not only supports, but actually DEMANDS acceptance
of spiritual and mystical phenomena. (The word apodictic comes from the
field of formal logic. It refers to an assertion that is incontrovertibly
or demonstrably true as a result of having been deduced systematically, in
a stepwise manner, from incontestable foundational principles, in such a
way that denying it leads to a contradiction.)



Faith is indisputably a cornerstone of all mystical, spiritual, and
paranormal practice. Did not Jesus say: "he that beleiveth in me, the
works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he
do" (Luke 14:12). The critical element for utilizing this vast reservoir
of untapped potential is belief. When Jesus cured the sick, fed the
multitudes, or raised the dead, there was no doubt in his mind that he
would succeed. The purpose of this book, therefore, is to remove the
formidable barrier to belief represented by doubt. Once we see that
science proves the existence of this power, we will be able to utilize it
without reservation.



Don't worry - I shall not continue hyping my book here,
although, of necessity, my posts and replies will undoubtedly contain
elements from the book, since it pretty much sums up all that I believe.
It is also a book that I was commanded to write, but that's a story for
another day ;^)
