Physics of the Soul: The Quantum Book of Living, Dying, Reincarnation, and Immortality »

At last, science and the soul shake hands. Writing in a style that is both lucid and charming, mischievous and profound, Dr. Amit Goswami uses the language and concepts of quantum physics to explore and scientifically prove metaphysical theories of reincarnation and immortality.

In Physics of the Soul, Dr. Goswami helps you understand the perplexities of the quantum physics model of reality and the perennial beliefs of spiritual and religious traditions. He shows how they are not only compatible but also provide essential support for each other. The result is a deeply broadened, exciting, and enriched worldview that integrates mind and spirit into science.

One of today's pioneering thinkers in science and spirituality, Dr. Goswami taught physics for 32 years, was a professor of Theoretical Science at the University of Oregon, and is currently senior resident researcher at the world-renowned Institute of Noetic Sciences. He is an advocate of "monistic idealism," the philosophy that defines consciousness, not materiality, as the primary reality.

Can the bizarre and probabilistic world of quantum physics be used to prove the existence of the soul and its immortality? In Physics of the Soul: The Quantum Book of Living, Dying, Reincarnation, and Immortality, Amit Goswami (The Self-aware Universe; Quantum Creativity; etc.) details how cutting-edge science might be used to answer questions that religions have grappled with for millennia. The author hypothesizes that a "quantum monad" is involved in reincarnation, and draws upon UFO sightings, past-life regression, ghosts and angels to broaden the applicability of his ideas. New Age buffs should find this book appealing. (Sept.) Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
