Review
This is a wonderful pioneering exploration of the vast, unseen realms within which our own reality, spacetime, is comfortably nested. -- William A. Tiller, Ph.D., Stanford University Prof. Emeritus --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Product Description
Each soul enables a unique means of knowledge and evolution, not only for our self but also for the unique aspect of the divine being with which each of us has a never-ending relationship. This book describes methods of spiritual transformation integrating wisdom from Sufism, including the teachings of Ibn Arabi, Hazrat Inayat Khan, and Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan with findings from modern science. Spirituality is presented as more than a vertical relationship with God. As we awaken to our potentialities, the purpose of life shifts to a process of consciously participating in the ongoing creation and evolution of the One Being that we are each part of.

5.0 out of 5 stars A rare combination - fun, readable, life changing, April 29, 2007

By	John English - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Donald Weiner invites us to journey beyond the ordinary way of looking at the big questions in life. A prime example - rather than holding the view that one's inner work will reveal one's purpose in life, he asks us to consider the possibility that our spiritual traveling is in itself our reason for being here. That creation and the Creator are expanded and fulfilled through our heart's responding to that which calls us.

The author has the knack for inspiring creative avenues of thought in ways that enable the reader to see the resulting new possibilities as both understandable and attainable.

Each chapter offers joyous and exciting adventures. A rare combination - fun, readable, and life-expanding. Highly recommended for all.

5.0 out of 5 stars The book I've been waiting for, May 18, 2006

By	Michael Yoshpa - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Upgrading the Operating System of the Soul - A Manual of Quantum Sufism (Paperback)

Being a mystic at heart, Einstein once said: "I want to know the face of God. Everything else is detail." To me as a scientist, artist and a spiritual seeker this book offers may ways to see God's face through a remarkable blend of science, poetry and mysticism. Here, scientifically sound facts and heart-felt poetry compliment a rare selection of pioneering mystical practices, allowing me to explore vast realms of subtle existence, and evoking many vantage points onto a truly Magical Nature of our Universe. In fact, I've been waiting for a book such as this for a long time. It confirmed many of my own insights and discoveries, enriching and deepening my understanding of such diverse topics as unity of religious ideas, quantum physics and chaos theory, Sufi metaphysics, fractal geometry, cosmology of Ibn `Arabi, prophetology, and many, many others... In addition to all that, for me this book was a beginning of an entirely new attunement to the work of some of the last century most prominent spiritual teachers: Hazrat Inayat Khan and Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan.

I believe that Donald Weiner's book opens a new chapter in contemporary spirituality, where perennial wisdom meets innovative mystical and scientific tools, which allow all of us to manifest and embody Creative Imagination of the Future Humanity, whose Knowledge is lived as a co-creative dialogue within the ONE.
