I'm currently reading the book "Shifting Worlds, Changing Minds" by Jeremy W. Hayward published by New Science Library An Imprint of Shambala Publications, Inc. Horticultural Hall, 300 Massechusetts Avenue, Boston, Massechussetts 02115 dated 1987. Quote: New Science Library presents traditional topics from a modern perspectice, particularly those associated with the hard sciences - physics, biology, and medicine - and those of the human sciences - psychology, sociolgy, and philosophy. The aim of this series is the enrichment of both the scientific and spiritual view of the world through their mutual dialogue and exchange. End quote. This book discusses man's perception of reality through science and humanities and how objective any thoughts really are, whether ego exists or not, duality, versus unity, objects, processes, an in-depth evaluation of how the mind processes input from our senses, the need to study subjective experience, and much more. He indicates that a revolution in thinking more important than relativity or quantum theory is occurring. This book demands a whole new perspective on science, religion, psychology, etc. I feel that if a large number of people on this network were to read this book it could drastically alter the content and perspective of all discussions between the religious and scientific communities represented here. Dogmatic people from either side of the issue will not like what they read here, however for me it is altering and unifying my view of the universe from perspectives I had never even dreamed of.
