Be prepared to take a discontinuous leap. There is a revolution going on in science. A genuine paradigm shift. While mainstream science remains materialist, a substantial number of scientists are supporting and developing a paradigm based on the primacy of consciousness. Amit Goswami, a pioneer of this revolutionary new perspective within science, shares with us his vision of the unlimited potential of consciousness as the ground of all being, and how this revelation can actually help us to live better.
Recognized as one of the worlds most brilliant minds, Amit has recently appeared in the movies "What the Bleep Do We Know?","The Dalai Lama Renaissance" and authored over a dozen books from textbooks on quantum mechanics to consciousness and the New Science. We trace Goswami from his early years in India... away from the religious teachings of his childhood to seek his path in nuclear physics; and how he has come full circle through quantum insight back to the very religious axioms offered as a youth.
With daring style, the Quantum Activist presents the wisdom and humor of one of our worlds truly influential thinkers... and tells of Amit's journey, his message, and his insight on what this means to you.
"The Self-Aware Universe" is a great read. I can't empasize that enough. Dr Goswami does a great job not just at presenting scientific evidence for his argument, but he shows that many scientific materialists are aware of this evidence and yet still refuse to admit that conciousness might just be something more than a process of the material brain. I find that many of the scientific materialists I know are somewhat in a state of denial, because they know that the evidence doesn't 100% verify their claims, yet they don't want to have an open mind and fathom the possibility that they might be wrong. When I read this book I was already somewhat of an idealist, but the physics Dr Goswami presents has opened my mind up even more.
