Embracing Mind: The Common Ground Of Science And Spirituality

What is Mind? For this ancient question we are still seeking answers. B. Alan Wallace and Brian Hodel propose a science of the mind based on the contemplative wisdom of Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Christianity, and Islam. The authors explore the history of science, demonstrating how science tends to ignore the mind, despite it being the key instrument through which we understand the natural world. They advocate for a contemplative science of mind using meditation techniques practiced for millennia across spiritual traditions. The book includes universal meditations that open new dimensions of consciousness and human well-being. Embracing Mind bridges the gap between science and spirituality, encouraging a holistic experience of reality.
