Amit Goswami: Quantum Mind--Quantum Joy

An Indian-born physicist and philosopher's search for deeper truth in science led him to the conclusion that understanding human consciousness was central to understanding modern physics. His startling realization that "consciousness is the ground of being"--of all material reality, and in fact--explains "all riddles of quantum mechanics and mind-body problems" and holds the key to escaping the bonds of our conditioning. Making the quantum leap from ego into larger consciousness releases us into the freedom, spontaneity and creativity that lie beyond conditioned behavior. "Consciousness in its primacy is joy," he says. "Once we have a taste of this primal joy, we can never forget it."

Goswami is a professor of physics at the University of Oregon, and co-author of The Self-Aware Universe: How Consciousness Creates the Material World (Tarcher 1993), Physics of the Soul: The Quantum Book of Living, Dying, Reincarnation and Immortality (Hampton Roads 2001) and The Quantum Doctor: A Physicist's Guide to Health and Healing (Hampton Roads 2004)
