In this thought-provoking book, Larry Dossey provides an alternative view of human consciousness--a theory of mind and being independent of matter, time, and space. As a physician, Dossey has often confronted events and miraculous cures in his patients that cannot be explained by conventional science. Drawing from the latest research, Dr. Dossey synthesizes the ideas of eminent scientists such as Schrödinger, Einstein, Gödel, and Margenau, with the time-honored knowledge of visionaries and mystics to present convincing evidence for a nonlocal, holistic view of mind and reality that can explain transcendental experiences. In short, he provides new proof of the existence of the soul. Embroidered with thoughts from Lao Tzu and Jung, Meister Eckhart and Rilke, as well as from ancient texts such as the Upanishads, Recovering the Soul beautifully interweaves Western and Eastern wisdom into a rich tapestry of intellectual depth and spiritual power. Here is a penetrating exploration of the nexus of mysticism and healing, religion and physics that helps us to understand our deepest and most elemental selves--a book that triumphantly affirms our interconnectedness with the universe . . . and to each other. Praise for Recovering the Soul "A truly luminous book . . . exciting, challenging, and ultimately inspiring, it is bound to become a classic in the convergence of science, medicine, and religion."--Joan Borysenko, author of Minding the Body, Mending the Mind "A bold, insightful, and enlightening journey that bridges the gap between science and religion."--Dr. Kenneth R. Pelletier, author of Mind as Healer, Mind as Slayer Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

His theory is, primarily, that our minds are not the local entities we perceive them as, but 'non-local', and in a sense 'God'. He demonstrates this in the early part of the book using several documented experiments. The second part of the book explores (in a low-key way) some quantum physics and other scientific concepts, and the last section looks at religion as a whole, and God in particular.
It's not written at all from a Christian perspective, yet several Christian mystics and scientists from the past are quoted. The author seems to see the Christian faith as rather narrow-minded; whereas I could see much of what he discussed as fitting in quite well with my belief in God and eternity, he seemed to think that his theories were not compatible with any particular belief system.
I'd perhaps rate this three and a half stars if I could - it was an interesting read, if a little heavy and long-winded in places. But it's now twenty years out of date, and I have no idea if some of his science is now considered obsolete. Worth reading, anyway, for an attempt at setting religion alongside scientific thinking, although strongly denominational or structured Christians (or indeed those of other faiths) might find some of it disturbing. Could give some atheists a few points for debate, however! (
