What
is
Mind?
For
this
ancient
question
we
are
still
seeking
answers.
B.
Alan
Wallace
and
Brian
Hodel
propose
a
science
of
the
mind
based
on
the
contemplative
wisdom
of
Buddhism,
Hinduism,
Taoism,
Christianity,
and
Islam.The
authors
begin
by
exploring
the
history
of
science,
showing
how
science
tends
to
ignore
the
mind,
even
while
it
is
understood
to
be
the
very
instrument
through
which
we
comprehend
the
world
of
nature.
They
then
propose
a
contemplative
science
of
mind
based
on
the
sophisticated
techniques
of
meditation
that
have
been
practiced
for
thousands
of
years
in
the
great
spiritual
traditions.
The
final
section
presents
meditations
that
are
of
universal
relevance—to
scientists
and
people
of
all
faiths—for
revealing
new
dimensions
of
consciousness
and
human
flourishing.Embracing
Mind
moves
us
beyond
the
dogmatic
debates
between
theists
and
atheists
over
Intelligent
Design
and
Neo-Darwinism,
and
it
returns
us
to
the
vital
core
of
science
and
spirituality:
deepening
our
experience
of
reality
as
a whole.
