Everything Makes Sense
Author: Tim Garvin
Publisher: John Hunt Publishing
ISBN: 1803414332
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 381
Book Description
'This book is a gift that will allow ready seekers to forego years of preoccupation with trifling intellectual distractions and get on with close-notice of life and consciousness.' Peter Nordeen, historian of the life and work of Avatar Meher Baba, writer and producer of God in Human Form and other films for Meher Filmworks Science and religion study the same phenomenon - the cosmos itself - but an impenetrable barrier seems to separate them. Author Tim Garvin removes that barrier and offers a resonant handshake. Instead of sitting across from each other in opposition, scientists and seekers can sit at a table made round by wonder. As Everything Makes Sense dives into the nature of knowing and existence, it reveals a mutuality in humankind unimagined by theology or biology, a mutuality in the nature of being itself. From there, Everything Makes Sense develops an explanation of existence by employing the thought and insight of the inner world's two most penetrating cartographers, Aurobindo Ghose and Meher Baba, whose work and a close-notice of life itself reveal the deep purpose of creation.
