ABOUT THE BOOK
Are religion and science compatible? Can we make practical
use of mysticism’s promise of a higher spiritual truth? Can
science make sense of today’s political and social turmoil?
In this groundbreaking work, Dr. Casey Blood explains how
three diverse disciplines -- quantum physics, neuroscience,
and mysticism -- give a unified picture of human existence.
Dr. Blood shows how quantum physics can explain the true
nature of the physical universe, and how neuroscientists can
explain how the brain makes sense of our inner and outer
worlds as well as how and why meditation techniques and
other mystical practices work.
Science, Sense & Soul is presented in lively,
accessible prose and will appeal to science enthusiasts and
spiritual seekers alike.
“Dr. Casey Blood fills a niche in the public’s grasp of both
physics and mysticism by presenting both in a readable
fashion, so that their interconnectedness is made obvious
without the trapping of sophisticated scientific theories
and/or mystical paradoxes.” -- from the Foreword by Pir
Vilayat
