Getting to Know Your Spiritual Self


Book Description

Getting to Know Your Spiritual Self is an easy to read book that reviews advances in science and how they help our spiritual beliefs. Some advances have been around for some time, such as evolution, brain functions, and the various traits of our personalities. Others are newer but are becoming established, such as the Big Bang theory, how genes work, the types of brain waves, and how people learn. Still others are so new that scientists aren't sure if they're real or not, such as string theory, reincarnation, artificial life, and parallel universes.

Dr. Bender has brought published research from a broad range of fields, including astronomy, biology, chemistry, physics, anthropology, archaeology, psychology, sociology, philosophy, theology, mysticism, topology, and probability, to describe the essentials of spirituality. Scientific advances help find logical, rather than magical, interpretations for extraordinary spiritual events people describe. The result is a cohesive view of spirituality that's consistent with science.

Getting to Know Your Spiritual Self is both a "what if" and a "how to" book for people trying to understand how science and spirituality connect, what if your spirit lived forever, and how to improve your spirit for eternity.

Let's Discuss!

While Getting to Know Your Spiritual Self includes results from published scientific papers from a variety of fields and perspectives from various religions, the conclusions are the author's alone. That's not good. Maybe the book can be a start for discussions. A few years ago James Surowiecki wrote The Wisdom of Crowds in which he says, "under the right circumstances, groups are remarkably intelligent, and are often smarter than the smartest people in them."

Let's see if we all can get smarter.
