Embracing Mind: The Common Ground of Science and Spirituality
Embracing Mind: The Common Ground of Science and Spirituality

Bridging science with spirituality's quest for truth.

If you're intrigued by the interconnection between scientific inquiry and spiritual wisdom, "Embracing Mind" could be a gratifying read for you. It dives into the quest for understanding our consciousness through a blend of both disciplines. It's a thought-provoking book that seeks to demystify the mind using insights from contemplative practices aligned with the rigors of scientific exploration.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

What is Mind? For this ancient question we are still seeking answers. B. Alan Wallace and Brian Hodel propose a science of the mind based on the contemplative wisdom of Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Christianity, and Islam. The authors begin by exploring the history of science, showing how science tends to ignore the mind, even while it is understood to be the very instrument through which we comprehend the world of nature. They then propose a contemplative science of mind based on the sophisticated techniques of meditation that have been practiced for thousands of years in the great spiritual traditions. The final section presents meditations that are of universal relevance to scientists and people of all faiths for revealing new dimensions of consciousness and human flourishing. Embracing Mind moves us beyond the dogmatic debates between theists and atheists over Intelligent Design and Neo-Darwinism, and it returns us to the vital core of science and spirituality: deepening our experience of reality as a whole.
