“With elegance and lucidity, Steve Taylor explains why spiritual science is the only hope for humanity.” —Deepak Chopra
It is often assumed that there are two ways of interpreting the world: a rational scientific way, or an irrational religious way. Mindfulness expert, Steve Taylor, shows that there is a third possibility—a spiritual, or “panspiritist”, view of reality that transcends both conventional science and religion, recognizes spirit or consciousness as fundamental, and answers many of the riddles that neither can explain.
Here, Taylor puts forward the evidence for a spiritual view of reality and examines the development and consequences of the materialist model. Drawing on the insights of philosophers, physicists, mystics, as well as spiritual traditions and indigenous cultures, he also systematically shows how a ‘panspiritist’ view can explain many puzzling aspects of science and the world such as:
• human consciousness
• altruism
• near-death experiences
• telepathy and pre-cognition
• quantum physics
• the placebo effect
• neuroplasticity
A compelling argument for a new vision of reality, Spiritual Science offers a bright vision of the world as sacred and interconnected, and of human life as meaningful and purposeful.
In The Press
"With elegance and lucidity, Steve Taylor explains why spiritual
science is the only hope for humanity. A science based on the
superstition of matter as fundamental reality could lead to our
extinction but a science grounded in the understanding of
consciousness as a fundamental reality - as described by this book -
could be our saving grace."
—Deepak Chopra, MD Chopra
Foundation
"Materialism is dead. It just doesn't know it. Spiritual Science
shows the mechanistic worldview is passé and
that the science that once seemed to support it has
well and truly moved on. Steve Taylor's book is
a very readable and inspiring guide to where we are heading as a
culture."
—Gary Lachman
Lost Knowledge of the Imagination
"As I read this book, I kept sighing with relief. At long last, a
thoughtful and accessible treatment of the false divide between
science and spirituality. By exploring a series of puzzles, Taylor
shows how the pieces of our world fit together, if we are willing to
take a breath and look at it anew."
—Dr Julia Mossbridge, author of Transcendent Mind and
The Premonition Code
"In this important book, Steve Taylor convincingly argues
that the materialist paradigm has run its course and that the evidence
from anomalous experiences must be acknowledged. Taylor shows how a
panspiritist approach not only eloquently explains anomalous phenomena
but can lead to exciting possibilities for the evolution of humankind
and the planet. These issues affect each one of us; it is time we all
sat up and took note."
—Dr. Penny Sartori, author of
The Wisdom of Near-Death Experiences
"This is the best book on the mind-body problem I have yet to read. If
you care about the plight of the human condition, and ever wondered
about the mysteries of the human mind...not to be missed."
—Michael
Grosso, PH.D author of The Man Who Could Fly
"In his acknowledgments Steve Taylor generously describes
himself as being inspired to write a popular version of our book Irreducible Mind. In fact he has accomplished much more than this. In a highly
readable account of some of the issues and "rogue phenomena" we
discuss in our book, he also takes on difficult new topics such as
altruism and evolution, making crystal clear why our struggling
postmodern civilization so urgently needs an expanded scientific
worldview compatible with human spirituality."
—Edward F.
and Emily W. Kelly, lead authors of Irreducible Mind
“A brilliant and eloquent book that is essential reading for our
times.”
-David Lorimer, Paradigm Explorer.
“A world-changing opus, a great book… Scientific
materialism has foisted highly effective blinders on our
world-at-large. Future historians will likely be incredulous at the
century-long gap between the advent of investigation into quantum
physics and any meaningful assimilation of its revelations into the
mainstream scientific culture. Spiritual Science expertly argues the evidence for the primacy of consciousness,
an inevitable realization that will engender the greatest revolution
in the history of human thought. Science will ultimately ripen through
the influence of our spiritual nature. Highly recommended!”
