With this one compact statement, Jacob Needleman has forced the
discussion of both science and religion in our time into a new,
more mature and discriminating phase. . . . It is a way station
where those who are seriously exploring the transformation of
consciousness will have to stop, take thought, and perhaps re-plot
their course.-Theodore RoszakI want to strongly recommend it to
every reader seriously interested in our present cultural
situation.-Fritjof CapraNeedleman is unique; he is really on to
something. . . . A fine book-Harvey Cox Western science has
operated for centuries on the assumption that we can understand the
universe without understanding ourselves. We are just now seeking
to make the necessary connection between the general laws of nature
to those of our own (inner) nature. But the job won't be done with
massive injections of the new consciousness; we cannot democratize
the sacred by cheapening its demands. My aim in this book therefore
says Needleman, has not been to speak of the convergence of science
and spirituality, but of their separation. As in nature itself,
organic unity is a reciprocal relationship between separate but
interdependent entities. In human life as well, there can be no
real unity except through the awareness of real divisions. One may
then hope to experience the magic power of sustained awareness by
itself to bring the harmony that we have until now fruitlessly
attempted to impose on ourselves and on our endangered
civilization. Jacob Needleman is a professor of philosophy at San
Francisco State University and the author of many books, including
Money and the Meaning of Life, and The American Soul. In addition
to his teaching and writing, he serves as a consultant in the
fields of psychology, education, medical ethics, philanthropy, and
business, and has been featured on Bill Moyers's acclaimed PBS
series A World of Ideas.
