It is often assumed that there are two ways of interpreting the
world: a rational scientific way, or an irrational religious way.
Spiritual Science offers a third alternative: a spiritual view of
reality that transcends both conventional science and religion, and
answers many of the riddles that neither can explain. The standard
model of science has had little success in explaining such areas as
human consciousness, the connection between the mind and the body,
altruism and `anomalous' phenomena such as near-death experiences,
psi phenomena (such as telepathy) and spiritual experiences. But
from a `panspiritist' point of view - which sees spirit or
consciousness as a fundamental essence of reality - it is possible
to make sense of all these things. Steve Taylor puts forward the
evidence for a spiritual view of reality, drawing on the insights
of philosophers, physicists, mystics, as well as spiritual
traditions and indigenous cultures. He systematically shows how a
`panspiritist' view can explain many puzzling aspects of science
and the world, including evolution and the origins of life, and a
wide range of other phenomena such as quantum physics, the placebo
effect, precognition and neuroplasticity. Spiritual Science offers
a new vision of the world that is compatible with both modern
science and ancient spiritual teachings. It provides a more
accurate and holistic account of reality than conventional science
or religion, integrating a wide range of phenomena that are
excluded from both. After showing how the materialist worldview
demeans the world and human life, Spiritual Science offers a
brighter alternative - a vision of the world as sacred and
interconnected, and of human life as meaningful and purposeful.
Spiritual Science explains how the standard materialist model of
reality developed, and turned into a belief system. This belief
system can only function by denying (or explaining away) a whole
range of phenomena that are part of human experience. It is
possible to be scientific without adopting this belief system - in
fact, it is much more rational to do so.
