This book will appeal especially to all those who, like the author herself, are seeking a philosophy which makes sense of mysticism and parapsychology as well as science and technology. It presents the concept of kundalini and the Tantric theories in which it is embedded in a way which shows that kundalini is fundamentally a force in nature, and not just a particular phenomenon of yoga. Mary Scott has drawn upon many sources, covering not only translations of the Tantras and the modern Tantric system of Sri Aurobindo, but also a wide range of scientific material. The varied nature of her professional qualifications have enabled her to synthesize ideas across many disciplines. She includes research on the borderline between physics and mysticism and data from biology, geology and astronomy. She argues that ancient writers on kundalini have anticipated much modern thinking and demonstrates this in an easy and straightforward style. The Author Mary Scott was born in India where her father was Principal of Bahaddin College in Kathiawar. Both her parents were interested in comparative religion, and Mary Scott feels that this background has made it easier for her to enter into Eastern modes of thought. After a short career in nursing, she took a degree in psychology and philosophy and a postgraduate diploma in social studies, and became a university teacher. After giving up full-time work, she became a part-time psychologist, lecturer and writer. Don't forget to check out other great deals in our Store!!
