Light, Truth, & Nature: Practical Reflections on Vedic Wisdom & Heart-Centered Meditation in Seeking a Spiritual Basis for Nature, Science, Evolution, & Ourselves

By Thomas E. Pliske

Universal Nature, the source from which we all have evolved, is more than her outer appearances and movements. There is in her an inner presence and purpose in whose fulfillment rests our own satisfaction, happiness and perfection as individuals and as a species. The book explores the dimensions and connections of the spiritual and physical workings of Nature from many perspectives: scientific, cultural, philosophical, medical and aesthetic. I give special emphasis to the indispensable role that indigenous cultures and the Vedic spiritual tradition play in deepening and transforming our vision and knowledge of the Earth and of ourselves. As a Nature lover, scientist and educator, the author especially encourages those engaged in scientific, medical and technological disciplines to embrace a wider epistemology, vision and ethics with the goals of discovering the Truth underlying all levels of human experience and sharing that Truth openly and sincerely as educators and grateful servants of the human family. The author's understandings necessarily spring from personal experiences, but he invites the reader to "write your own story" that unifies your journey with the universal odyssey on which we all are embarked. Everything in the universe has the divine spark of spiritual light as its essence. Evolution has given us the wisdom of our origin; ecology has given us the wisdom of our integral unity; and spirituality will give us the experience of clear guidance and wisdom to joyously transform ourselves and the world. The last chapters suggest steps to attain that experience.
