A new generation of scientists is emerging with startling discoveries and theories that have much in common with the ancient teachings of many spiritual traditions. In interviews with some of our greatest contemporary minds, mythologist John David Ebert explores the newest insights in the ongoing exchange of ideas between science and religion. Provocative, sophisticated interviews with Brian Swimme, Rupert Sheldrake, Ralph Abraham, Lynn Margulis, Terence McKenna, Stanislav Grof, Deepak Chopra and William Irwin Thompson allow these cutting-edge thinkers in disciplines ranging from mathematics, biology, cosmology, medicine and psychology to present their theories in their own words. Ebert places these challenging ideas in a clear context and within a greater historical overview.
