New Age New Answers to Deep Questions

Résumé du livre

The road from mediums to the modern science of subtle energy.A compendium from the theories of spiritualists, energy healers, yogis, and quantum physicists; 400 pages drawing on 80 books, that follow the early days of the New Age movement up to the science of subtle energy.From Mesmer to theosophy to spiritualism to Eastern religions to quantum theory. Behind it all, you will find a metaphysics that aligns with Chinese Qi, Hindu prana, and the quantum/photon universe.You will meet amazing people who shaped our thinking: doctors inventing maverick energy treatments, travelers to the exotic lands of Tibet and India, intuitives who found themselves receiving healing remedies while in trance, psychotherapists who could not ignore a thousand clients talking about alien abduction or reincarnation, and physicists and scientists who could not resist research on the paranormal. They form a community of belief and speak a common language that brings insight, meaning, and finally, scientific evidence for the world of energy.A history of the New Age movement and the metaphysics behind it, for those seeking context for many ideas and healing practices that seem randomly and lightly scattered in our society.
