James A. Heffernan – författare

Unfolding Nature: Being in the Implicate Order, is a journey through the scientific and philosophical strands of a realm that transcends our everyday awareness, yet paradoxically gives rise to it at the same time. The implicate order, as a hypothesis, resolves many difficulties: discontinuous movement in the quantum realm; the famous and vexing wave-particle duality; nonlocality as a coherent phenomenon; it gives us a general architecture of matter, and how it is tied to mind; explains biological phenomena in ways that modern evolutionary theory struggles with; overthrows the whole paradigm of mechanism; and finds a fundamental place for consciousness as a real, objective and necessary feature of reality. Weaving through these and many other phenomena, James A. Heffernan takes us on a tour of the very deepest layers and the very farthest reaches of our reality. Once your eyes open, they will never close again.

"e;Societies of the Spirit"e; is about mysticism-exploring five different spiritual traditions that exhibit it to a robust degree. Together, we go from the most theistic heights of Hinduism to the stark atheism of Buddhism, from the little-structured Native American tradition to the radical mystical evolutionary Catholicism of Teilhard de Chardin. Additionally, we shall touch upon Taoism, as we must ground ourselves in the Way. Each tradition emphasizes union or direct communion with ultimate reality, or with God. All espouse eternal life, even the atheistic Buddhists. Intuition, insight, and radical meditation techniques-personal, subjective experiences-can give us direct knowledge of spiritual truth, if not perfect Enlightenment. Come take a foray into authentic mysticism and gain a roadmap that can guide you for the rest of your lives.
