One of my favourite books of all time (there are quite a few of those ). But this one is right up there. I am forever buying cheap second hand copies so that I can share it with my scientific and religious friends. Mystery traditions and science are all describing the same thing but in different language. Maat

I had gone through a long training in theoretical physics and had done several years of research. At the same time, I had become very interested in Eastern mysticism and had begun to see the parallels to modern physics. I was particularly attracted to the puzzling aspects of Zen which reminded me of the puzzles in quantum theory. At first, however, relating the two was a purely intellectual exercise. To overcome the gap between rational, analytical thinking and the meditative experience of mystical truth, was, and still is, very difficult for me.
