Rupert Sheldrake looks at seven spiritual practices that are personally transformative and have scientifically measurable effects. All provide ways of going beyond our everyday states of mind into experiences such as flow, a sense of a greater conscious presence, bliss, fuller understanding, or deep connectedness.
In his new book, a sequel to Science and Spiritual Practices, Sheldrake writes as both a scientist and a spiritual explorer, and assesses various types of practices in the light of the latest scientific research. Why do these practices work? Are their effects ‘all inside the brain’ and essentially illusory? Or can we really make contact with forms of consciousness greater than our own? Sheldrake suggests that we can.
Rupert Sheldrake, Ph.D. is a biologist and author of more than 85 scientific papers and 12 books, including The Science Delusion and Science and Spiritual Practices. His new book Ways to Go Beyond is due to be published on January 24, 2019. He was a Fellow of Clare College, Cambridge and a Research Fellow of the Royal Society, and is now a Fellow of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, in Petaluma, California, and of Schumacher College, in Dartington, Devon.
