Demystifying the Akasha

Book Description
Demystifying the Akasha:
Consciousness and the Quantum Vacuum
Duality, including the spiritual/material and mind/body dichotomies,
has been the basis of the Western paradigm for four hundred years, and
has been blamed for major world problems.

Meanwhile, in the East, nonduality has prevailed. While science is
generally seen in opposition to nonduality, this book sets out to prove
the compatibility of the scientifi c outlook and the spiritual
nonduality of India by constructing a mathematical model of cosmic
consciousness. The ideas and their history are presented non
technically in Part One, while the full mathematical details are
presented in Part Two.

Praise
for Demystifying the Akasha: Consciousness and the Quantum Vacuum
"A key contribution to bringing the concept of the Akasha into the
ambit of contemporary science, and relating it to our understanding of
consciousness. A book for all serious students of cosmos and
consciousness."
