Physics of the Soul: The Quantum Book of Living, Dying, Reincarnation, and Immortality

This is a book that has the potential to change your life and the way you look at yourself and others. Goswami's philosophy is science based and not a story that leads from nothing to nowhere. If you want to base your spirituality on firm grounds you should read Goswami's books.

Excellent, although possibly dated book about quantum physics and aspects of reincarnation studies. It's very helpful for those of us not well-versed in the study and explanation of quantum physics. I enjoyed Dr. Goswami's helpful examples and definitions. A former physics professor at the University of Oregon, Goswami is the author of many other fascinating books elucidating quantum physics and the view of consciousness as the ground of being, but this is one of the best.

The author uses physics to determine the nature of our soul/consciousness and makes great strides towards finding the truth. One unfortunate aspect of the book is that it is not an easy read. Without any background in physics a few sections are almost impossible to follow and understand. I had 2 years of physics in high school and one year in the university and my knowledge is not enough to understand all of it.

I read this book in a class taught by the Author. It is amazing as are his other books. Currently The Center for Spiritual Living South Florida ( in Dania Fl ) is reading this in a class and all are enjoying it. Its substantive but not over most peoples heads. Really a wonderful read and bound to give adequate answers to many of Life's big questions.

These books have offered a lot of comfort.in the recent death of our only child, our nurse son, who lost his life suddenly and accidentally. He left his 3.5 year old daughter.

Meet my expectation

Great Book! Looks like new. I recommend this seller.

I've read a lot of new age books in my 63 years and this maybe the best one yet. Intelligent explanation of what is really going on in "this" world....

very interesting and easy to follow

Excellent product at an excellent price with an excellent service.

Excellent

Not as clear as the previous book I read by the same author. Some of his terminology is a tad confusing and repetitive. He bangs on & on about reincarnation but delivers very little on what occurs between incarnations. Just like Deepak Chopra he is very biased towards the east so expect to read the word karma a million times. What he proposes survives death(he calls it a quantum monad) seems to carry only the basic elements of our personality and really you ask yourself what is the point if so little of 'us' survives?? He seems to say that the time between incarnations is spent unconsciously and we only remember those experiences in our next life and only then at a subconscious level. He maintains that any relatives we might encounter in the afterlife are simply dreams and not another disembodied mind. He basically says we have no subjective experience in the afterlife as quantum physics doesn't allow for this. However this is all at odds with what past life regression data, astral projection & OBE data and mediumship/chanelling experiences are showing. To say nothing of NDE testimony. Goswami is a seriously intelligent man but I can't help feeling that he is trying too hard to make the physics fit and ignoring areas of note (as above) that he can't reconcile with wave functions and collapses. He's huge on consciousness particularly on this idea that consciousness causes light & energy to become solid matter. There are many conflicting beliefs on the "Von Neumann–Wigner interpretation" and after being exposed so heavily to this concept in dozens of books this year, I cant help but feel that some authors are misunderstanding or worse misrepresenting the data to fit these types of books. I wouldn't rule out that consciousness cannot do this in some circumstances but to suggest it is responsible for all reality is something the jury is and may always be out on.Have to say his theory on Ghosts seemed quite plausible though.Basically it's not the easiest book on the subject and it certainly won't give the recently bereaved any comfort as according to Goswami there is so little of the personality that we loved left that they may as well have been erased. He is quite cold about this too, never allowing for emotions like grief to intrude. I just think there are things that we don't understand and the afterlife does not have to reconcile with theories of quantum mechanics to be viable. For this author only this path and a reconciliation with the Tibetan Book Of The Dead (which is treated as fact!) seem to suffice. For me so much data contradicts this path although not all and the author does make some valid observations. I just think he's too bound up in his own cultural bias to the east.Ive read it a couple of times and much of it gets no clearer. I liked his Self Aware Universe book but this is a poor relation.For much better authors who acknowledge physics and the east BUT also the other 75% of the spectrum out there, I recommend as followsStafford Betty, David Fontana, Michael Tymn, Julia Assante, Roberta Grimes, Michael Newton, Craig Hogan, Anthony Peake, Ervin Lazlo, Chris Carter, Jurgen Ziewe, William Buhlman, Bruce Moen, Robert Bruce, Natalie Sudman, Raymond Moody, Eizabeth Kubler Ross, John Mennella, Jeffrey Long, Cyrus Kirkpatrick. Even cranky old Victor Zammit!!Even try Anthony Borgia's The World Unseen - yes, its a little dated but its comforting and although it sounds too good to be true, the authors above basically support much of it through evidential dataThese are the authors who will give you a better presentation. And they wont make you feel like you're just a vessel for carrying karma from one life to the next - unlike messrs Chopra and Goswami. Give me eternal oblivion over that!!!

interesting viewpoint but stretches the bounds of credulity
