Book Description

We are on the edge of an impending Spiritual – Scientific revolution. This is unlike any other revolution, scientific discovery or an invention in the past. Every revolution, discovery or invention has brought about a shift in the consciousness of humanity. Consciousness is the basis of existence and awareness of existence. This book is an endeavour to unravel the mysteries of human consciousness, a challenging subject and an intersecting point to both science and spirituality. There have always been certain aspects of life and existence that have time and again ignited the human imagination. Even while we believe that we have reached the ultimate, we only come to realize that this could just be the curiosity and that truth lies well beyond the horizon. Nothing can come closer to explain this than the following words of T.S. Eliot “We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we began and to know the place for the first time…” Amongst many of the open questions in science today, ones that sit right at the top are bewildering the researchers a long time now: Where and how the Human Consciousness originates? Does matter have any Consciousness? Are we coincidentally into existence in this Universe, or is there a steering higher Consciousness? Those armed with scientific materialism would immediately brush aside these questions as either philosophical or something irrelevant for science to answer. They might say that science has employed all its alternatives to these non-physical phenomena and proved them to be non-existing. Since the French philosopher Rene Descartes isolated Science from Spirituality almost four centuries back, it has become a fad to put Spirituality at odds with Science. It has done no good to the scientific community. It has restricted the observation and exploration of science to merely physical matter, something which they themselves consider now as less than five percent of the universe. Note: Instead of the term ‘Religion’ we have invariably used ‘Spirituality’ which is non-affiliated, subtle, broader and with inside-out approach. In the last many centuries, we have looked up only to Material science for development, expansion, mitigation of our problems, and meeting our needs. We have also got solutions to a large extent. However, material science now either seems to be exhausting itself, or it comes with its challenges and even evil. It's time now to shift our paradigm, look inwards and seek the answers from our inner space. It will only help to complement and fill the gaps left by material science. The wisdom of the eastern world has always captivated the attention of scientists, thinkers and philosophers from around the world. It is not just the religious belief; it is a perfect blend of Science and Spirituality - interestingly cited as the Science of Spirituality and the Spirituality of Science. Decoding Human Consciousness is not just a window where science can sneak peek into Spirituality. It is a gateway for humanity to a new dimension where we can evolve from within and seek answers on questions related to our existence and well-being. Interestingly the Conscient entity could not be proved through scientific methods in a laboratory set up. Hence, it is still more challenging to scientifically verify the consciousness originating from this entity. Until one goes beyond the identity of oneself as a physical phenomenon and experiences self as a conscient being, it would be too arduous to use all the scientific apparatus to analyse the continuous stream of consciousness emanating therefrom. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack, that too non – physical !! This book is dedicated to unravelling the mysteries of Human Consciousness on Scientific, Psychological and Spiritual realms. Most of the work has come through insights from transcendental experiences that have been further corroborated by research and practice. We have taken into consideration many books, periodicals and research papers. References have been given wherever necessary. Some of the notes taken here are a verbatim copy of the lines from the work of authors while some have been rearticulated. This book is an attempt to recollect, reconnect and re-establish the scientific theories, philosophical postulations in all eras and the ancient wisdom of different scriptures spread across the world, and converge them to unravel the mysteries of consciousness. Much of the mystifying insights with divine wisdom have come from different etheric mediums and divine channels, which has been further substantiated with ancient esoteric knowledge from different origins. The present book is a concise effort to study and establish the knowledge of Consciousness, one of the most sought after mystery. The objective is to make this knowledge as a new gateway for Science to accept and discover hitherto undiscovered metaphysical realms - Spiritual awakening in a scientific way and find solutions to holistic well-being for people from all walks of life. This book is truly an amateur endeavour to reach out to the readers in a rather plain and straightforward style. We leave it to the wisdom of our readers to assess by their own experience. Any questions and suggestions are graciously invited. Magic Diamond of Group
