ISBN-13: 9781847998934

The Science of Spirituality is a ground-breaking book that integrates the individual systems of science, psychology, philosophy, spirituality and religion into a unified system that describes the multi-dimensional nature of man and the universe. It provides a more comprehensive description of reality than conventional science can offer and fully explains the mechanisms behind an array of paranormal phenomena that mainstream science chooses to ignore. It explains the science behind religious, spiritual and new-age belief systems, and sheds light on some common misconceptions.

Einstein said: "Religion without science is blind, science without religion is lame", because they are two sides of the same coin. Recent scientific discoveries have unknowingly provided evidence that supports the multi-dimensional nature of reality that Hindus, Buddhists, Gnostics and Kabbalists have known about for thousands of years. By combining modern scientific facts with ancient spiritual knowledge we can begin to uncover the whole truth and bring unity out of the existing duality. There can be only one true reality, but we will never know the whole truth if we only look from one perspective and hold on to our preconceived ideas.

The Science of Spirituality systematically describes the mechanisms behind a diverse range of subject matter including: esoterics, consciousness, sleep and dreams, reincarnation, religion, creation, evolution, space and time, higher dimensions, heaven and hell, ghosts, angels and demons, out of body experiences, near death experiences, clairvoyance, psychic abilities, personal development, meditation and the meaning of life.

Praise for The Science of Spirituality:

A whole new perspective on spirituality, SB, March 8, 2008

I have read so many metaphysical books over the years and was beginning to think that there was nothing left to stimulate my craving for esoteric knowledge. The Science of Spirituality complements and enhances several other books I have read and it has been surprisingly easy to integrate the new information into my existing knowledge. The book has given me a whole new perspective on spiritual science which has enabled me to move out of a long stagnant period and into a period of real spiritual growth.

My thirst for knowledge has finally been quenched!, LB, October 4, 2007

It isn't very often one comes across a book that is so refreshingly different to anything else out there, and The Science of Spirituality is just such a book. It is difficult to summarise the book in any way because the range of material covered is staggering. It is quite simply the most comprehensive yet concisely written book you are ever likely to read. The complexity and importance of the material is such that there is no substitute for reading it yourself. Considering the "deep" subject matter this book is very easy to read, and the numerous diagrams further enhance one's understanding. I felt a huge sense of relief when I finished this book, not because I had finished, but because I felt I had finally come to the end of my unrelenting search for the truth. Now I can move on to the next stage of my development - living the truth - integrating and applying everything I have learned over many years (and the past few days).

Life, the universe and everything in a single volume!, EW, August 30, 2007

This fascinating and compelling book is a unique blend of science, philosophy and metaphysics.
Einstein said "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind", and this book cleverly unites these two very different perspectives. It identifies some striking similarities between modern science and ancient spiritual knowledge - sceptics can no longer say that religion and spirituality are just superstition! As the author says "There can be only one true reality, but we will never know the whole truth if we only look from one perspective and hold on to our preconceived ideas". This book provides a comprehensive, simple and unified description of how life, the universe and everything works, and is a must read book for anyone in search of the fundamental truth.

Very interesting and thought provoking, PB, August 18, 2007

My first impression on flicking through this book was that it looked very impressive. I started reading yesterday morning and was immediately impressed by the quality of writing and the engaging subject matter. I couldn’t put the book down and read it from start to finish in two days! Everything is explained so simply, clearly and concisely that even complex subjects were not too difficult to understand. The 50 or so diagrams (some of which are truly inspired) were very helpful and took my understanding to another level. They say "a picture paints a thousand words" and that is certainly true with this book. I thought I knew a lot about spiritual matters before I read this book, but it showed me just how little I really knew. The author’s level of understanding goes far beyond anything else I have ever read, yet he presents everything so simply. Some of the points raised in the book seemed so obvious after reading them but I thought to myself "How come I didn’t see it that clearly before?" It showed me how much my preconceived ideas were distorting my beliefs. Even the apparent differences between the major religions no longer seemed like differences after I saw the common thread. The book gave me so much to think about, and for that alone I am grateful. It is packed full of so much interesting and important information that it must be one of the most important books ever written. I am going to read it again now to develop a deeper understanding of some of the concepts that were new to me, and to see just how much I missed the first time around.

The Science of Spirituality contains 18 highly informative chapters and over 60 diagrams and tables.

Brief chapter outlines are given below:

1. Deconstruction

Science and religion don’t appear to have much in common, but they do share one important similarity – their beliefs are restricted to their own respective points of view. The first section of this chapter attempts to liberate scientific thinking and expand its boundaries. The second section deals with religion and attempts to systematically undo thousands of years of misunderstanding, misinterpretation, corruption, fiction and dogma. It reveals some mind-blowing truths about the Bible that may alter your entire perception of Christianity.

2. Common Ground

The second chapter highlights a host of similarities between science and religion. The first section briefly and simply explains several recent scientific discoveries then describes how they have been know to religion for thousands of years. The second section summarises the work of a handful of respected medical practitioners who are investigating the multi-dimensional nature of human beings.

3. The Multi-dimensional Universe

This chapter identifies a previously unknown aspect of energy-matter that explains some of the "unexplainable" aspects of modern physics such as gravity, faster than light communication, and why subatomic particles behave differently when they are being observed. It discusses fractal cosmology, the akashic record, and describes what dark matter and dark energy really are. It provides several maps of the multi-dimensional universe that are compatible with eastern cosmology, the Kabbalistic tree of life and Robert Monroe’s out-of-body investigations.

4. Creation

The chapter begins by explaining how and why the universe came into existence. It reveals the truth behind the symbolic Genesis story – including the creation the human race and mankind’s subsequent "fall" to Earth. It concludes by highlighting the surprisingly similar accounts of creation in Kabbalah, Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam.

5. The Mechanics of Creation

This chapter builds on the previous one by describing the manifestation of the universe from a more technical perspective. It explains the origin, structure and composition of matter, and describes a "theory of everything" that appears to unite the seemingly incompatible String Theory and Standard Model.

6. The Multi-dimensional Human

We tend to identify ourselves with our physical bodies because our waking consciousness is limited to the physical world, but there is evidence to suggest that other worlds or dimensions exist just beyond the range of our normal perception. In order to operate in a multi-dimensional universe we require a multi-dimensional body, or more accurately a series of ever-more subtle bodies. This chapter describes the multi-dimensional nature of human beings and the evolution of life on Earth.

7. Consciousness Defined

Clinical evidence shows that brain function and consciousness are correlated, but there is no evidence to suggest that the human brain is actually the source of our consciousness. This chapter explains the true source of consciousness and goes on to define and describe twenty different facets of conscious, most of which are unknown to psychologists.

8. Levels of Consciousness

The meaning of life is the development of consciousness. This chapter introduces a scale of consciousness which is used to describe the five key stages of human development – each of which has different lessons for us to learn. The chapter concludes with a comprehensive explanation of the science of enlightenment.

9. Space and Time

The first part of the chapter describes the characteristics of hyper-dimensional space and the shape of the universe. The second part explains the space-time continuum and why our perception of time varies with our state of consciousness.

10. The Planes of Existence

This chapter thoroughly describes the planes of existence that relate to humans; including the environment, the inhabitants, and what life is like there. It reveals the objective truth behind the religious concepts of "heaven" and "hell", and concludes with an overview of the seven rays.

11. Man's Five Bodies

Our physical, etheric (energy), emotional (astral), mental (intellectual) and causal (soul) bodies are described in detail, including the effect they have on our behaviour and general wellbeing. The chapter finishes with an explanation of what lies beyond enlightenment – when we graduate from the human kingdom into the "kingdom of god".

12. Sleep and Dreams

With no knowledge of the subtle bodies, conventional science knows almost nothing about the nature of sleep and dreams. This chapter uses esoteric knowledge to comprehensively describe the reasons for and mechanisms behind sleep, dreams, sleepwalking, sleep paralysis and out-of body activity.

13. Reincarnation

Whether you believe in it or not, life after "death" is an absolute certainty because life cannot be extinguished; it only changes form. We can’t remember our previous lives because our subtle bodies dissolve in sequence after physical death and the pathways to their memories are lost to us. New subtle bodies are formed for the next incarnation but they have no connection with our previous lives. The chapter describes the full cycle of reincarnation and what people can expect at each stage.

14. Paranormal Phenomena

This fascinating chapter explains the mechanisms behind a whole host of paranormal phenomena, including: out-of-body experiences, near-death experiences, remote viewing, hypnosis, past-life regression, healing, magic, ghosts, extraterrestrials, UFOs, crop circles, clairvoyance, telepathy, precognition and other psychic abilities.

15. Good and Evil

This chapter discusses the opposition of good and evil and how they are both essential for human development. It describes the hierarchies of advanced beings that assist the development of human consciousness and reveals the surprising truth about Satan, Lucifer, 666 and 2012. It explains how cosmic energy cycles alter the balance of power between the forces of light and darkness, and the corresponding effect this has on the rise and fall of human civilisation – including the "great flood" in 9564BC.

16. The Laws of Life

Laws govern absolutely everything in the universe, and without them nothing could exist. This chapter describes seven laws that are particularly important to human development: the laws of freedom, unity, development, self, destiny, karma and the much hyped law of attraction.

17. Personal Development

The only way to find lasting happiness and give our lives meaning is to work at developing our consciousness, and this chapter describes a number of ways to achieve this. Our consciousness is one thing that we take with us from life to life, so any work we do now will benefit us for all eternity.

18. Meditation

Meditation is not the passive, empty, trance-like state that most people imagine; it is an active method of developing higher levels of consciousness and illuminating the mind with insight and understanding. This chapter discusses the uses and benefits of meditation. It then explains how to meditate and concludes with a number of useful exercises.

Other Recommended Reading

If your thirst for esoteric knowledge is not quenched by The Science of Spirituality there are a few other books I can suggest. I particularly recommend the works of Henry T Laurency, which are a mine of interesting information. The books are available free online in .pdf format at www.laurency.com. Only two of the books are currently in print, which can be ordered from the same website. Unfortunately, they are not currently available from Amazon or other bookstores.

I also recommend a series of five books by Arthur Powell. They are an easy-to-read comprehensive summary of the main theosophical teachings, and they perfectly complement Laurency's work. The books are available from Amazon and other bookstores, please click on one of the links below to visit the appropriate bookstore.

Many other interesting books are available in our bookstores.

Happy reading!
