Christie\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs we move from a simple world dominated by material realities to an increasingly complex and virtual one, many old explanations, traditions, and practices are becoming outdated. So, which are still valid, and which are best left behind? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e The Laws of ah!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e takes you on an informal yet novel tour of \u003cem\u003ereality\u003c\/em\u003e and the spectrum of human endeavors, with one eye on matter and the other on meaning, including the spiritual realms, the ongoing mystical revival, and our newly emerging cosmology. By redefining the roles of science, politics, religion and spirituality, it also takes a fresh look at the major institutions that claim to rule our lives.Materialism is passing, The gold is in the mind, not the matter! Thus, \u003cem\u003eminding\u003c\/em\u003e the business of \u003cem\u003eyour\u003c\/em\u003e own mind is paramount to your progress and well-being.\u003cp\u003e Western society has long struggled with a sterile religion-versus-science impasse. To move forward we need to rethink the science-religion-politics discussion, which I approach in three steps (\"books\"): \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook l\u003c\/strong\u003e kickstarts a discussion on \u003cem\u003ethe nature of reality\u003c\/em\u003e using Ken Wilber's '\u003cem\u003equadrants\u003c\/em\u003e' model, which I then reformulate, changing the underlying premises that have dominated western thinking for centuries. I propose a novel frame of reference, spelling these ideas out in detail, including several new terms coined \u003cem\u003ead hoc\u003c\/em\u003e to get beyond current muddles in terminology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook II\u003c\/strong\u003e addresses the problems of current global scales and complexity, and some of the limitations of the old religious and political conceptions in this new context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook III\u003c\/strong\u003e looks at the growing wave of experience in transpersonal psychology, integrates current advances in cosmology, and proposes a different approach to religion and spirituality. It then looks at how to go beyond \u003cem\u003eThe Books\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e With these changes and additions, it is possible to make clear distinctions between teaching and preaching, and between science, technology, politics, religion, spirituality, and mysticism, amongst other things. These distinctions offer new perspectives on the age-old deadlocks that plague our current discussions on these crucial issues. In turn, a better definition of these fields should aid the search for viable solutions to some of the current global problems and affairs of states.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 446\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 07, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47578535690461,"sku":"9798993464114","price":32.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/EXD3j_4h5l9798993464114.webp?v=1782152879","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/the-laws-of-ah-and-our-boundless-mindscapes-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
