Fri 6/13 CNJM Monthly Gathering

8:30 PM What in the World Bridges Science and Mysticism? The Way From Science to Soul: Integrating Physics, the Brain, & the Spiritual Journey by Casey Blood, PhD, uses current understanding from physics, brain research, time-honored metaphysical teachings and practices, and the impact of personality on society to assert that science and mysticism have arrived at this basic fact: “Each of us is a nonphysical soul that has a physical body.” Blood believes the convergence of science and mysticism revolves around this acknowledgment of soul. Scientists and spiritual seekers alike will find solid answers to their questions about the nature of existence in Casey’s in-depth, accessible discussion of applicable quantum physics.
