About the Author
Amit Goswami, Ph.D., is one of today's pioneering thinkers in science and spirituality. Dr. Goswami taught physics for 32 years, was a professor of Theoretical Science at the University of Oregon, and is currently senior resident researcher at the world-renowned Institute of Noetic Sciences. He is an advocate of "monistic idealism," the philosophy that defines consciousness, not materiality, as the primary reality. He is also the author of The Visionary Window0835607933 and Physics of the Soul1571743324.
Deepak Chopra, M.D., is Chief Executive Officer of The Chopra Center for Well Being in La Jolla, California. A bestselling author, he was cited by Time magazine as one of the top 100 heroes and icons of the 20th century. Mikhail Gorbachev calls him "one of the most lucid and inspired philosophers of our time." Some of his audio titles include Path to Enlightenment1-56170-732-5, Power of Intuition1-56170-826-7, and Spiritual Mind, Loving Matter1-56170-916-6.
One of Deepak Chopra's enduring contributions to modern thought is his popularization of quantum physics as it applies to human functioning. He and his guest speaker Goswami believe that soul and spirit exist on a plane that cannot be discerned with the senses and cannot be understood through conventional Western science. Soul and spirit exist across time and space; what we think we know from our senses is only a small part of our true humanity. Though this is one of the more charming and important lectures in this series, it nevertheless will confound the sensibilities of many listeners through its inherent demolition of scientific and religious views of consciousness.
