The Science of Spirituality is a ground-breaking book that integrates the individual systems of science, psychology, philosophy, spirituality and religion into a unified system that describes the multi-dimensional nature of man and the universe. It provides a more comprehensive description of reality than conventional science can offer and fully explains the mechanisms behind an array of paranormal phenomena that mainstream science chooses to ignore. It explains the science behind religious, spiritual and new-age belief systems, and sheds light on some common misconceptions. The Science of Spirituality systematically describes the mechanisms behind a diverse range of subject matter including: consciousness, sleep and dreams, reincarnation, religion, creation, evolution, space and time, higher dimensions, heaven and hell, ghosts, angels and demons, out of body experiences, near death experiences, clairvoyance, psychic abilities, personal development, meditation and the meaning of life.

From the Publisher
With science and religion we have two seemingly opposed views of how life, the universe and everything began:
1) Scientists generally believe that a perfectly balanced universe spontaneously appeared out of nothingness, and that life, consciousness and intelligence randomly evolved from inert matter.
2) Christians generally believe that an all-powerful and all-knowing God created the world and its myriad of life-forms (in just six days).
Not only do they both seem pretty unbelievable, they appear to share no common ground. However, recent scientific discoveries have unknowingly provided evidence that supports the multi-dimensional nature of reality that Hindus, Buddhists and Kabbalists have known about for thousands of years:
1) The latest scientific models state that the universe is multi-dimensional, with six or more hidden spatial dimensions, and is primarily composed of non-physical matter (dark matter and dark energy).
2) Respected doctors and medical practitioners are now openly investigating near-death experiences, out-of-body experiences and past-life regression, and are beginning to discover the multi-dimensional nature of human beings.
By combining modern scientific facts with ancient spiritual knowledge we begin to uncover the whole truth and bring unity out of the existing duality. There can be only one true reality, but we will never discover the whole truth if we hold on to our preconceived ideas and only look from one perspective. Einstein said: "Religion without science is blind, science without religion is lame", because they are two sides of the same coin.
Science and spirituality both agree that we live in a multi-dimensional universe, and paranormal phenomena suggest that life exists in these other dimensions. Human beings may be at the top of the evolutionary ladder in our 3-dimensional physical world but a hierarchy of increasingly advanced beings live in dimensions that exist just beyond our normal range of perception. These higher-dimensional beings are omniscient and omnipotent in our physical world, which is how our concept of god originated.
A handful of these highly advanced beings periodically incarnate to teach the most advanced members of humanity about the true nature of reality. The great masters such as Krishna, Buddha and Christ (and many others who kept lower profiles) are the originators of esoteric knowledge - the one true science and the one true religion. The information was shrouded in mystery and symbolism to prevent the uninitiated from fully understanding it in the event that it became public knowledge.
Most of the world's major religions were built around carefully selected pieces of this esoteric information that were taught to the general public at various times throughout history. As time passed and the religions grew, bureaucracy, dogma and superstition developed, which further distorted the original teachings. Science developed in response to the woefully poor explanations of reality offered by western religion. The early scientists were persecuted and deemed heretics for questioning the Church and delving into the mind of God, when all they sought to do was to understand the world in which they lived. Scientific scepticism of all things mystical is still very much apparent today.
A significant amount of esoteric information was released into the public domain at the end of the 19th century but it (theosophy) failed to make much of an impact because religion was dominant, science was in its infancy and the people of the time were too reserved. The popularity of metaphysics, spirituality and new science in the 21st century indicates that the world is now ready for a modern presentation of esoteric knowledge.

Customer Reviews
My thirst for knowledge has finally been quenched!
It isn't very often one comes across a book that is so refreshingly different to anything else out there, and The Science of Spirituality is just such a book. It is difficult to summarise the book in any way because the range of material covered is staggering. It is quite simply the most comprehensive yet concisely written book you are ever likely to read. The complexity and importance of the material is such that there is no substitute for reading it yourself. Considering the "deep" subject matter this book is very easy to read, and the numerous diagrams further enhance one's understanding. I felt a huge sense of relief when I finished this book, not because I had finished, but because I felt I had finally come to the end of my unrelenting search for the truth. Now I can move on to the next stage of my development - living the truth - integrating and applying everything I have learned over many years (and the past few days).
Life, the universe and everything in a single volume!
This fascinating and compelling book is a unique blend of science, philosophy and metaphysics.
Einstein said "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind", and this book cleverly unites these two very different perspectives. It identifies some striking similarities between modern science and ancient spiritual knowledge - sceptics can no longer say that religion and spirituality are just superstition! As the author says "There can be only one true reality, but we will never know the whole truth if we only look from one perspective and hold on to our preconceived ideas". This book provides a comprehensive, simple and unified description of how life, the universe and everything works, and is a must read book for anyone in search of the fundamental truth.
Connecting the Dots
I simply devoured Lee's book, and then started on it a second time.
I've been on a spiritual path for many years, and have often tried to piece together the material offered in much of the esoteric literature. It can be quite difficult to decipher the esoteric works, as many of the terms used require definition before you can begin to understand the meaning of the words.
Lee's book helped me put many of the confusing bits of information that I'd gathered over the years together in a logical understandable format.
I highly recommend it.
