Awesome
Most illuminating book ever..I decided to read this book after a mention regarding this book in another text..such delightful presentation in the most engaging manner. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Yet not going into too much details of neither of them. Could be quite heavy on the physics parts for those without engineering background.

This is a book well worth reading from cover to cover. And I especially liked the two prefaces and two afterwords, and the epilogue. There are no less than 60 mentions of scientists, mystics and scientific theories for those interested in further research. A book for every school library, one that may replace many many other more sectarian ones.

This is an amazing book to read if you want to see how some of the most important ideas in eastern mysticism and modern physics are converging. Actually, the "converging" is only taking place in our understanding: the concepts and worldviews of the two schools of thought are startlingly similar and have been for some time, and the author does a great job for the most part of drawing the parallels while not getting too technical with the modern physics stuff. I say "for the most part" because towards the end of the book (about the last two chapters) he basically says "screw the layman" and delves deeply into S matrix theory in a very technical, confusing, boring, and brain-overloading way. This is where he lost me; I wasn't able to finish the book. But most of the book is a great read--one of the best on the subject in my opinion.

Very interesting how ancient eastern philosophy described reality that modern physics now reveals.
