The Biology of Consciousness: Case Studies in Kundalini examines the notion that consciousness exists outside the body and actually drives evolution by what Gopi Krishna called “the evolutionary impulse.” The book examines the arguments for and against God, making clear that there is very little evidence to support either side, but there is a large body of evidence that supports the notion of an energy continuum brought into being by an all-pervasive consciousness. The nouveau atheists (Stephen Hawking, Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris) cross swords with the proponents of intelligent design (William Dembski, Michael Behe, Jonathan Wells) over God vs. No God. The argument between atheism (No God) and intelligent design (God) is the wrong argument. Each represents a reductionist extreme too far out of range to prove or disprove. However, there is a pragmatic middle ground related to this subject that’s easily summed up by the following language: There is proof that a metaphysical dimension, or energy continuum, exists, that an all-encompassing consciousness, not an anthropomorphic figure, residing somewhere above our heads, is responsible for creation. If not easily proven, at least, it has a respectable amount of anecdotal evidence to support its validity. There is neither anecdotal nor scientific evidence to support the claims of the other two arguments. And that’s where the book’s case studies come in — as evidence-based accounts of how super-consciousness is triggered and how it affects the individuals it settles on. The Kirkus Review of Books says: “The author fleshes out the book with a dramatic section devoted to case studies of different types of Kundalini encounters, showing the different ways that practitioners awaken energies inside themselves, as well as how Kundalini helps people tackle personal challenges. These studies give the work an instantly relatable, human dimension thats often missing from books of this kind and underscores Semples approachable, ordinary-guy tone throughout. - See more at: ift.tt/ZzwWnj Datsyn News - The Biology of Consciousness - Case Studies in Kundalini Builds Strong Case
