The Mystic Core: Spirituality in the Age of Materialism

In this book, Ron Frost, who is one of the few scientists who has participated in the ultimate training in Tibetan Buddhism – the Three-Year Retreat – addresses this prevailing spiritual malaise of modern society. The book has two major theses: First is that science, which deals well in studies of the physical world, can say nothing about the spiritual dimension. Second is that the linear, or “either-or” thinking of science, which is necessary for studying physical processes, is inappropriate when applied to the complex world of human experience, relations, and emotions.
