Description
Book SynopsisFrom the dawn of history, a universal wisdom tradition has existed that explains humanity’s purpose in the cosmos and our relationship to the Master Source Consciousness. This mystical philosophy was harnessed by the ancient seers known as Gnostics, who were in direct contact with Source Consciousness. As Peter Canova reveals, not only do the ancient teachings of Gnosticism contain important spiritual truths, but they profoundly align with the modern sciences of quantum physics and psychology. They can also provide us with a transformative path to higher consciousness and practical tools to create your own reality.
Merging modern science and ancient wisdom, Canova explores the perennial principles of Gnosticism and shows how they describe major theories of quantum physics, such as the Big Bang, parallel universes, the Holographic Universe theory, and Einstein’s Relativity. He recounts the Gnostic story of Sophia from a scientific standpoint, showing how it describes the fall of spiritual consciousness into material existence. He also provides in-depth evidence that Jesus taught a hidden, mystical Gnostic initiation rite.
Explaining how the Master Consciousness created and shaped all life, including humans, the author reveals how Source gave us a critical role to fulfill in the cosmos, including the ability of our thoughts to affect the material world. He describes Carl Jung’s role in the spiritualization of psychology and how this can be used by the modern spiritual seeker to pursue a path of enlightenment and personal fulfillment.
Ultimately showing how enlightenment is a process wherein outer manifestations arise from inner experience--including synchronicity and dreams--the author reveals how each of us can harness the power of quantum spirituality to transform our world on both an individual and collective level.
Trade Review“
Quantum Spirituality stirs me in a special way. I love Peter’s concepts relating to the mysterious and mystical aspects of life. It resonates with my own experience. It is a pleasure for me to see the remarkably incisive knowledge that Peter has crystallized in
Quantum Spirituality to help us see and accept the true underlying nature of life. Please read it, and let it become a part of your life experience too.” * Bernie Siegel, M.D., author of No Endings, Only Beginnings and Three Men, Six Lives *
“
Quantum Spirituality is the most complete merger of science and ancient wisdom I have ever encountered. The result is the stuff of dreams, a magical story of the origins of humanity and our place in Creation. It reads like a visitor’s guide to the Matrix, covering all angles--the spiritual, the scientific, and the psychological.” * Betsy Chasse, co-creator of the film What the Bleep Do We Know!? *
“Peter Canova’s book
Quantum Spirituality is not just another take on the supremacy of consciousness. Solidly anchored in Gnostic Christianity, Jungian psychology, and cutting-edge science, it is a worthy addition to the rapidly growing body of literature that is reintroducing contemporary culture to the Perennial Philosophy, couching it in modern language and thought patterns. This is an important book that, although thoroughly accessible, needs to be read slowly and carefully digested. It deals with nothing less than the very explanation and meaning of life in our perception realm.” * Jim Willis, author of The Quantum Akashic Field *
“
Quantum Spirituality is a riveting, epic saga. It is a grand tale of our creation told in a mythic, spiritual, and scientific story that enlightens the reader about the mysteries of human existence. Its pages are rich with startling information that exposes the illusions of commonly accepted reality. The author merges spiritual insights derived from ancient mystics with modern quantum theory to create highly plausible concepts that ring true to every mindset, from the spiritually inclined to the logically grounded.
Quantum Spirituality will provide every reader with life-altering knowledge essential to propel their own soul journey.” * Scott Carlin, former president of HBO Domestic Television Distribution *
"This ambitious and fascinating book is a succinct message to us all.
Quantum Spirituality outlines a journey critical for our evolution and could accelerate our awakening. Peter Canova seeks to resolve some of the most rivalrous debates in history: those over the true meaning of human life and spirituality." * James Redfield, author of The Celestine Prophecy *
With a special and particular relevance to readers with an interest in Gnosticism, Quantum Theory, New Age Metaphysics, and Unexplained Mysteries,
Quantum Spirituality: Science, Gnostic Mysticism, and Connecting with Source Consciousness is an especially informative, insightful, and thought-provoking contribution for personal, professional, community, and academic library collections and supplemental curriculum studies lists. It should be noted for students, academia, and non-specialist general readers with an interest in these subjects that Quantum Spirituality is also readily available in a digital book format (Kindle, $13.99). * Midwest Book Review *
