Stubbing My TOE on Purpose: A Seminal View of Consciousness, Cosmology and the Congruence of Science and Spirituality

Author Bruce 'Zen' Benefiel offers a healthy dose of spiritual wisdom for an "out-of-this-world" reader experience. Some dynamics which make this book a helpful guide are the author's out-of-body experiences, his education and unique intelligence, combined with (but not limited to) an aptitude for research, diverse content synthesis and organization for reflection of his experience. Zen embraces psychological, scientific, intuitive and mystical explanations, deepening the experience of "flow," and more. Since childhood he has been challenged by alternate realities most of us only find in sci-fi or paranormal movies. His quest for truth began after finding out he was adopted. Woven by the common thread of his mystical experiences, Zen continually provides insightful logic regarding the ultimately inevitable connections among science and spirituality, connecting within, and galactic citizenry. Meaningful personal stories from the author's physical life experience are steeped in wisdom. That said; the author's emotional vulnerability is a great asset to humanizing the mystical experiences he lives out. Zen's authentic sharing creates a good foundation for us (the readers) to contemplate and realize the unique reality to which we have embraced and have been exposed. The book reveals compelling evidence that we can each go beyond our normal waking consciousness to connect in higher and finer ways. The author's knowledge of mental-emotional transformational methodologies makes for well-explored and deeply penetrating lessons.
