Story
Author Matthew Fox has stated, "If Hildegard had been a man, she would be well known as one of the greatest artists and intellectuals the world has ever seen." It is a credit to the power of the women's movement and our times that this towering genius of Western thought is being rediscovered in her full grandeur and autonomy. Meister Eckhart’s deeply ecumenical teachings were in many ways modern. He taught about what we call ecology, championed artistic creativity, and advocated for social, economic, and gender justice.

The effects of spiritual practices are now being investigated scientifically as never before, and many studies have shown that religious and spiritual practices generally make people happier and healthier. In this pioneering book, Rupert Sheldrake shows how science helps validate seven practices on which many religions are built, and which are part of our common human heritage: meditation, gratitude, connecting with nature, relating to plants, rituals, singing and chanting, and pilgrimage and holy places.

Dr. Rupert Sheldrake, one of the world's most innovative scientists, here shows the ways in which science is being constricted by assumptions that have, over the years, hardened into dogmas. Such dogmas are not only limiting, but dangerous for the future of humanity. According to these principles, all of reality is material or physical; the world is a machine, made up of inanimate matter; nature is purposeless; consciousness is nothing but the physical activity of the brain; free will is an illusion; and God exists only as an idea in human minds.

What do we mean by “God” in today’s world? Do we even need “God” anymore? How many names for divinity are there? Do the names for God change as we mature as individuals, evolve as a species, and face a critical “turning time” in human and planetary history? Too often, notions of God have been used as a means to control and to promote a narrow worldview.

This dialogue reviews Sheldrake's theory of "morphic resonance," which challenges some fundamental assumptions of established science. Sheldrake offers a revolutionary alternative to the mechanistic worldview, and points toward a new understanding of the nature of life, matter and mind. One of the more profound implications of Sheldrake's account here is his suggestion that the brain may be more like a tuning system than a recording device.

Author Cynthia Bourgeault investigates the imaginal realm - an energetic realm well known to the mystical traditions but often forgotten in our own times. It is invisible to the physical eye, but clearly perceptible through the eye of the heart. The imaginal realm has long been associated with the personal world of dreams, prophecy, and oracles, and it also points toward a higher vision of our human purpose that is both evolutionary and collective. Bourgeault explores both aspects of imaginal reality and tells listeners how we can cooperate more fully with its guidance in our lives.

Is everything connected? Can we sense what's happening to loved ones thousands of miles away? Why are we sometimes certain of a caller's identity the instant the phone rings? Do intuitive hunches contain information about future events? Is it possible to perceive without the use of the ordinary senses? Many people believe that such "psychic phenomena" are rare talents or divine gifts. Others don't believe they exist at all. But the latest scientific research shows that these phenomena are both real and widespread.

Mystics and sages have long maintained that there exists an interconnecting cosmic field at the roots of reality that conserves and conveys information, a field known as the Akashic record. Recent discoveries in vacuum physics show that this Akashic field is real and has its equivalent in science's zero-point field that underlies space itself. This field consists of a subtle sea of fluctuating energies from which all things arise: atoms and galaxies, stars and planets, living beings, and even consciousness.

Publisher's Summary
What are angels? Many people believe in angels, but few can define these enigmatic spirits. Now visionary theologian Matthew Fox and acclaimed biologist Rupert Sheldrake - pioneers in modern religious thinking and scientific theory - launch a groundbreaking exploration into the ancient concept of the angel and restore dignity, meaning, and joy to the time-honored belief in these heavenly beings.
Angels constitute one of the most fundamental themes in human spiritual and religious experience. All cultures acknowledge the existence of spirits at levels beyond the human. In the West we call them angels, but they go under different names in other traditions. (Native Americans, for example, call them "spirits.")
We are entering a new phase of both science and theology. Fox and Sheldrake explore many significant questions raised by both traditions about the existence and role of consciousness beyond the human level.
This dialog between Fox and Sheldrake concentrates on three giants of the Western tradition whose treatment of angels is particularly broad, deep, and influential. They are Dionysius the Areopagite, a Syrian monk whose classic work The Celestial Hierarchies was written in the sixth century; Hildegard of Bingen, a German abbess of the twelfth century; and St. Thomas Aquinas, a philosopher-theologian of the thirteenth century.
Fox and Sheldrake have selected their most important and relevant passages about angels, and each is followed by a discussion exploring their meaning from both a theological and a scientific perspective.
Also explored are the fascinating parallels between Thomas Aquinas speaking of angels in the Middle Ages and Albert Einstein speaking of photons in this century. Hence the title of this book, The Physics of Angels.
The exploration of angels in a living cosmos enlivens and enriches both religion and science and contributes to the deepening exploration of consciousness - on this planet and beyond.

Certainly kept my attention, though the title is a bit misleading
This book is a general discussion of angels from the perspective of Fox and Sheldrake, both fascinating figures considered heretics in their fields. They draw mainly on the works of Dionysius the aeriopogite, Thomas Aquinas and Hildegard of Bingen. Some anecdotes about the traditions of native America s, Hindus, Buddhists and other traditions are thrown in. Science is discussed in general anecdotal terms, either when it is relevant to the general discussion, or when there are symbolic parallels between it and medieval ideas about angels. I did not find it especially convincing from a scientific point of view, but I did find it to be a fascinating discussion of theology and learned a bit of science along the way. Overall, it’s worth listening to, but I wouldn’t expect anything mindblowing as far as the science goes. Belief in angels is still very much a matter of personal experience and/or faith.

A Marvelous Meeting of Two Great Minds
I don't fully have the words to describe how deeply moved I am by this coming together of Dr. Rupert Sheldrake and Rev. Dr. Matthew Fox. Angels have been an extraordinary part of my life since birth, and I'm certain that my grandmother and her mother (Italian Third Order Franciscans) helped open that door for me. To give these lovely beings the credit and the dignity and clarity that they deserve is such a precious gift and I will be always grateful for the insights gained here. THANK YOU!!!

Exceptional content, poor delivery
The guy reading this thinks he can do a good English accent, but he cannot. He sounds like a drunk Patrick Stewart who hasn't learned some fairly basic vocabulary, and is winging it. Also, he needs to be able to pronounce the old names for things, which he hasn't bothered to do. This distracts from the otherwise marvellous and intriguing content, which I can't fault at all.

Rupert Sheldrake is phenomenally knowledgeable and raises questions from both a scientific and spiritual view point
The content is easy to follow regardless of knowledge on biology, quantum physics, mystics and traditions

Excruciating
After being impressed by Sheldrake's measured, well-thought-out book 'The Science Delusion' I thought I'd give this a go. What a mistake. Pseudo-religious claptrap batted back and forth, most of it making no sense whatsoever, all couched in a framework of unconditional belief in the unutterably absurd. This book has no redeeming aspects whatsoever, it is appalling.

Faith and enquiry go together as belief and delusion.
I was really looking forward to hearing this book and it's a good book but the narration lets it down. I have herd Rupert and Mathew talk on this subject on New Dimensions radio and they a great together. This narrator is clearly a pro and all things considered, he's great but please please get the authors to do it!
What I appreciate about Rupert is his simple lack of any particular belief. This is refreshing, and I think this is why he can so easily explore the "apparent" opposition between science/reason and spirit. Rupert appears to free of the need to be right, and instead returns to questions and enquiry as a substitute to fixed beliefs.
Get the Science delusion!
