Our featured consciousness scientist
receives recognition
The scientist featured in our previous newsletter, Harvard professor Rudolph Tanzi, has been selected by Time Magazine as one of the world's 100 Most Influential People.
The previous newsletter's article, How science came to agree: the spiritual world-view is correct, is a review of Tanzi's book, Super Brain. In this work, the author, a top expert on the brain, pulls together the vast quantity of data and discoveries about the brain made in the last few decades—many of which are astounding and defy ordinary thinking—into a one coherent whole.
He credits the teaching of Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami, founder of Himalayan Academy and Hinduism Today, with inspiring that one unifying vision which brings order and coherence into what was hitherto a bewildering mass of data. In the process, a great understanding is gained into the nature of the brain and, consequently, into who we are. And, most significantly, the mystical foundations of spirituality and religion find themselves corroborated by scientific evidence.
There is today a growing body of scientists, of whom Tanzi is one, who hold to the primacy of consciousness over matter. Or, as they put it, It is consciousness that creates matter, not the other way around. Read the whole article .
