Science attempts to explain the world without a creator, spirit or design, constantly seeking new information with which to test its theories. Spirituality holds that the most important aspects of the world are beyond human comprehension. It labels this realm spirit, soul, and God; Who is right? Are humans simply a cluster of cells that eventually dies? Is there a greater plan? Leo Kim asked himself these questions again and again. As a scientist developing new drugs for the treatment of cancer, Kim felt powerless as he watched patients die, an experience that led him on a decades-long quest to understand human existence. Healing the Rift chronicles his metaphysical and scientific journey. Kim reveals how recent scientific breakthroughs led him to the belief that the world is a blending of mind and spirit, explaining the science behind his discovery in entertaining, approachable terms that help readers make sense of their own search for answers.

Review
Healing the Rift is an exciting exploration of the intersections of science and spirituality. Kim's exploration takes us into the mysteries of consciousness, the most important frontier confronting our civilization. This book will excite and delight anyone who is ready to move beyond the prevailing dogmas of both conventional science and religion. --Larry Dossey, MD. Author of Healing Words and The Power of Premonitions
Congratulations to Leo Kim for writing a terrific, far-seeing, integrative and very readable book! He has great writing skill and a remarkable ability to communicate very complex material in a lucid format. This book is highly recommended for all readers, especially those sincerely interested in the connections between science and spirituality. There is great wisdom in this book! --William A. Tiller, Ph.D. Professor Emeritus of Materials Science, Stanford University
“I found Leo Kim's Healing the Rift riveting. He offered easy-to-understand word pictures of scientific findings that described what the vast majority of near-death experiencers actually encounter during their episodes. He showed how the latest in science brings us closer to what our faith traditions have been telling us for thousands of years. Lots of books try to do this, but Leo Kim's does this one better. He winds up walking us through the illusions of time and space just as experiencers of transformative states really experience it. He gives us words where there are so few. He gives us questions that become answers that lead to heartfelt sighs of relief that at last… someone took the time to explain the strange but true. --P.M.H. Atwater, L.H.D., researcher of near-death states and author of nine books including The Big Book of Near-Death Experiences

Our existance in universe,
By
This review is from: Healing the Rift: Bridging the Gap Between Science and Spirituality (Hardcover)
This book by Leo Kim forces us to search our existence and the meaning of our life in this universe. Leo Kim provides common thread between science and sprituality. He does this by reviewing vast amount of information on the nature of universe, creation of earth and life, and workings of life and mind from perspectives of quantum physics, biology, religion, and psychology. An important book.

Great Eye-opener,
By
This review is from: Healing the Rift: Bridging the Gap Between Science and Spirituality (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful book bridging science & spirituality. The author brings his unique background in science, medicine, and hypnotherapy to explore issues that science often avoids and yet most spiritual teachings assert without objective evidence. This book is a wonderful and enlightening read on the origin of life and consciousness, the perception of the world (and what is reality?) and what happens after we die. This book is a great read for its mixture of hard science (quantum mechanics, origin of the universe), personal narrative, and discussion of cases (how people recall near-death experiences). Highly recommended!

This is the best I've read for anyone to understand.
It has the right combination in quantity and substance of meticulous concise information. It is poignant and very moving. I impatiently await Dr. Kim's future books.
