Hello,
I have just finished reading Joachim Wolf's book "understanding the Grand Design", and simply have to share it with the other readers. Jo is an educated scientist. He takes a very scientific approach with his knowledge of Quantum Physics and combines it with modern day Metaphysics.
He takes the teachings of histories greatest minds such as Jesus, Buddha, Plato, Emerson and Eienstein. And combines the teachings of modern day visionaries such as Deepak Chopra, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Neal Donald Walsch and Steven Hawking into a comprehensible and easy to read book.
He answers some of the greatest questions throughout history, raises new questions, and then answers them just as eloquently.
His book explains that our concepts of space and time, are just that our concepts. That they do not really exist outside of our perception of them. That we all live in an unlimited number of dimensions and then explores the concepts of our ability to interact in a multidimensional Universe. He then takes you into an exact method of how we each can go back into our own unique pasts, and affect change in our lives today and for tomorrow.
Modern science and their scientists are proving that we are not alone, that we are immortal by proving that reincarnation is real, that one thing can exist in more than one place at a time, and that everything is One. As everything is divided infinitely when viewed from one view point. It all comes back down to One when looked at from the opposite view point. We, and everything else are spiritual. We are all part of One.
An absolute must read for anyone interested in expanding their own spiritual awareness, and wanting to know more about how the Universe really works.
This book is a must-read for both the novice and seasoned spiritual seeker as well as for scientists and anyone skeptical of the supernatural religious perspective. Joachim Wolf has offered a legacy that is at once both spiritual primer and doctoral dissertation -- a brilliant distillation of the best that is out there, yet presented with such flow and intuitive clarity that it reflects nature's divine simplicity. And when I say "out there", I include the best offerings from the self-help genre, from religions of all types, from esoteric and metaphysical philosophy, as well as from across the soft and hard sciences.
Although an objective physicist by trade, Mr. Wolf's grand design dovetails almost exactly with the implications of my own research into the subjective source of our innate spiritual proclivities -- human emotion. He is one of the rare few who find their way to the central and sacred frontiers where quantum, holographic, and dynamic principles can finally bridge the illusory gap between science and spirituality. His offering is the most cogent assembly of scientific wisdom and the best package of "spirituality" I've found to date. It offers a lens though which to interpret and evaluate any other -- including the great religious traditions. Indeed, this is THE one book I've offered to my own children and a legacy upon which I hope to build.
