Science, Being, & Becoming reminds us that some scientists, perhaps many, have had the same kinds of profound psychic, mystical, and spiritual experiences that people have reported throughout history... Books like this are dissolving old constraints, and in the process whole new realms of reality are poised to emerge. A delightful and inspiring book. - Dean Radin Ph.D., Institute of Noetic Sciences, and author, Real Magic Professor Mills is a shining example of a rigorous scientist and classic mystic, whose mind and heart are dedicated to the pursuit of both objective knowledge and subjective wisdom. This book tells the stories of scientists and scholars who walk the line between science and spirit, weaving them together into a beautiful tapestry that should validate the personal experiences of many more. - Cassandra Vieten, Ph.D., Arthur C. Clarke Center for Human Imagination, University of California, San Diego In this much needed work, Professor Paul Mills provides an intimate and personal view into the spiritual lives of scientists. In the midst of these rapidly changing times, their stories of inspiration, dedication, and struggle can encourage and steady each of us along the path. - Thomas Liu, Ph.D., Center for Functional MRI, University of California, San Diego I found this book riveting. I couldn't put it down until I had devoured the whole thing. This book is a rare and engaging account of the spiritual transformation of the scientific mind, writ large on the one hand but also very much from the inside as well, from the horse's mouths of the author and his interviewees and commentators as well. The many individual transformations accounted here span a vast variety and tremendous depth of the spiritual-nonrational realms while maintaining scientific solidity. Together, these point the way to a tremendously expanded and bright potential future for science as it begins to embrace spirituality and consciousness. As Deepak Chopra says in his introduction, rationality is not the enemy of awakening. - Thomas Brophy, Ph.D., President, California Institute for Human Science, Encinitas, CA In the stories of people's lives recorded in this book, virtually all combinations and permutations of human spiritual experience and aspiration are represented. The reader will very likely find many aspects of themselves described in some way in Professor Mills' exploration of the spiritual lives of scientists. In my case, it was very helpful to see how others experienced transcendent phenomena and spiritual teachings of all kinds. The way some scientists quoted in this book understood certain teachings, for example the Advita Vedanta teachings from Paramahansa Yogananda, helped me understand that philosophy and teaching better and has enriched my own spiritual journey. Ultimately Professor Mills' book is a spiritual guide, a road map depicting many pathways to self-realization (and becoming anchored in the divine) which will inspire one's further spiritual exploration in directions one may not have thought of or encountered yet. This is a page turner. Experience the joy of seeing one's own experiences, shared in some way by others, become even more illuminating and meaningful in the moments of reading a given section and reflecting. Hollis H.
