The Visionary Window: A Quantum Physicist's Guide to Enlightenment

by Amit Goswami

Does God exist? Can spirituality be integrated with science? Is happiness possible? Do miracles really happen? Not only does The Visionary Window answer " yes" to all of these questions, but it skillfully combines the fields of philosophy, cosmology, religion, and psychology to form a new way of thinking about science and spirituality. Stepping beyond the classic work of prominent seventies physicist Fritjof Capra, Goswami details his own pioneering exploration of science and spirit, revealing the complete integration between modern science and spiritual traditions. Using stories and colorful examples from pop culture, Goswami addresses complex issues in language and terminology easily accessible to the lay reader. He provides quantum physics-based theory and new experimental data verifying the metaphysical truth that exists when employed in the context of a new science, science within the primacy of consciousness. With a new holistic worldview, Goswami also discusses the creativity of the body to self heal; the power of spiritual practice and how to choose a meditative path; and the five stages of spiritual growth, culminating in the ability to transcend the physical laws of nature. Readers, scientists and spiritual leaders alike will find answers to many of life's deepest mysteries.… (more)

O que é mais real - este livro ou a consciência que você tem dele? Amit Goswami responde, sem hesitar, que é a consciência que você tem dele. O livro não existe totalmente enquanto você não tem essa consciência.

Absurdo? Amit Goswami é capaz de provar isso como nenhum outro físico. Educado na sagrada tradição hindu, Goswami revela brilhantemente como a nova ciência comprova aquilo que os místicos sempre souberam - que é a consciência, e não a matéria, a base fundamental do ser.

Quase brincando, citando Einstein a Forrest Gump, Goswami integra o nosso coração espiritual à nossa mente científica. Valendo-se da psicologia cognitiva, da filosofia oriental e da física quântica, ele defende um novo paradigma científico, no qual os valores humanos vêm em primeiro lugar. Em seguida, como experiente clareza, demonstra como os princípios da nova ciência podem nos ajudar a despertar a nossa criatividade interior, aprofundar nossa espiritualidade e viver como seres realmente livres.

If you are intrigued by the philosophical implications of quantum physics; if you suspect that all is not what it seems . . . Goswami may be speak to some of your intuitions. I have a number of his books, and much like Chopra - whom I also like - each successive book restates and refines his views, so that he speaks from a slightly different angle. ( )
