[PARAPSYCHOLOGY]
This remarkable treatment of thought, evolution, and
reincarnation examines the purpose of the immortal human soul
during life and its continuation after physical death. Zukav's
extraordinary skill in explaining scientific abstraction and the
new physics, displayed in the best-selling The Dancing Wu Li
Masters (LJ 5/1/79), is again evident as he critically
questions the link between the existing Western model of the soul
and the subsequent lack of meaningful human evolution. Beginning
by examining the debilitating effect of this model, Zukav then
describes the importance of non-physical reality, alluding to
properties not yet accepted or understood by scientists. Overall,
a readable, thought-provoking tome on how our perceptions must
change dramatically if we are to survive; will be in demand in
New Age collections.
