Download The Physics of Angels: Exploring the Realm Where Science and Spirit Meet AudioBook Free
What are angels? Many people have confidence in angels, but few can identify these enigmatic spirits. Now visionary theologian Matthew Fox and acclaimed biologist Rupert Sheldrake - pioneers in modern religious thinking and medical theory - start a groundbreaking exploration in to the ancient idea of the angel and restore dignity, interpretation, and happiness to the time-honored idea in these heavenly beings. Angels constitute one of the very most fundamental themes or templates in human religious and religious experience. All ethnicities acknowledge the living of spirits at levels beyond the human being. In the Western world we call them angels, but they go under different titles in other practices. (Native Us citizens, for example, call them "spirits.") We are coming into a new phase of both knowledge and theology. Fox and Sheldrake explore many significant questions brought up by both practices about the living and role of consciousness beyond the real human level. This dialog between Fox and Sheldrake concentrates on three giants of the Western traditions whose treatment of angels is specially broad, deep, and influential. They are simply Dionysius the Areopagite, a Syrian monk whose classic work The Celestial Hierarchies was written in the 6th hundred years; Hildegard of Bingen, a German abbess of the twelfth hundred years; and St. Thomas Aquinas, a philosopher-theologian of the thirteenth hundred years. Fox and Sheldrake have selected their most important and relevant passages about angels, and each is accompanied by a discussion checking out their interpretation from both a theological and a medical perspective. Also explored are the exciting parallels between Thomas Aquinas speaking of angels in the centre Age groups and Albert Einstein speaking of photons in this hundred years. Hence the subject of this reserve, The Physics of Angels. The exploration of angels in a full time income cosmos enlivens and enriches both faith and knowledge and plays a part in the deepening exploration of consciousness - on this entire world and beyond.
