Publisher's Synopsis
As we begin a new millennium, the world perspective is more polarized than ever. We are challenged by new and more complex moral dilemmas; such as having to choose between science or religion, pro-life or pro-choice, the death penalty, gay marriage, euthanasia - the list goes on and on. It seems that western religions cannot change fast enough to keep pace with emerging scientific and social realities. Many of us are asking, "What do I really believe - what is right and true for me?" In Zero Point: Moments Beyond Conscious Thought, Emerson takes us on a journey of understanding to the ancient wisdom of the east and re-visits timeless truths that shed light on these important issues and questions of today. Emerson also candidly discusses subjects often considered strange from a western perspective, such as the nature of supernatural phenomenon, UFOs, astrology, and voodoo, and looks at them from an eastern or Gnostic point of view. You will gain insight into questions such as: Is quantum physics saying the same thing as metaphysics? Is there an afterlife or reincarnation? Is there going to be an apocalypse? Do we have freewill? Do you know where your mind is? The eastern scriptures tell us that the answers to all our questions lie just beneath the surface of our mind. They remind us that we just have to remember to take a look. Zero Point will help us to do just that.
