With this one compact statement, Jacob Needleman has forced the discussion of both science and religion in our time into a new, more mature and discriminating phase. . . . It is a way station where those who are seriously exploring the transformation of consciousness will have to stop, take thought, and perhaps re-plot their course.—Theodore Roszak
I want to strongly recommend it to every reader seriously interested in our present cultural situation.—Fritjof Capra
Needleman is unique; he is really on to something. . . . A fine book—Harvey Cox
Western science has operated for centuries on the assumption that we can understand the universe without understanding ourselves. We are just now seeking to make the necessary connection between the general laws of nature to those of our own (inner) nature. But the job won’t be done with massive injections of the new consciousness; we cannot democratize the sacred by cheapening its demands.
