Fritjof Capra has a unique gift of genius to formulate and explain complex scientific and philosophical insights and interrelations in a way that the educated reader can understand. Originally from Austria and brought up with German as his mother tongue, he learnt English so perfectly that from the moment he moved to Berkeley, California for his work as a quantum physicist, he wrote and published only in English. The parallels here are evident with Albert Einstein...

Director of Consciousness Research Laboratory at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Dean Radin, Ph.D., has done cutting-edge parapsychological research for AT & T, Contel, Princeton‘s department of psychology, the University of Edinburgh, SRI International, and the U.S. government. He is the author of The Conscious Universe (1997) and Entangled Minds (2006), which are the books of him that I have reviewed. Unfortunately a correspondence with him went south...

I read Paracelsus (1493-1541), whose real name was Theophrastus Philippus Aureolus Bombastus von Hohenheim, rather early in life, back in 1975, when I entered law school. Paracelsus truly was a holistic healer. He continued an ancient tradition that for the majority in his time was completely lost. It was the Hermetic Healing Tradition. It must be noted, however, that the breakup with this holistic healing tradition occurred not after the downfall of the Greek...

Alexander Sutherland Neill (1883 – 1973) had an important influence on my educational thinking and my practical approach toward child rearing. I found Neill’s book ’Summerhill – a radical approach to child rearing’ in 1985, during a time of change in my own professional life. I was still on-track for my doctoral thesis in international law for the law faculty of the University of Geneva, that I started in 1983. Upon reading Neill, I began to...

Dr. Edward Bach (1886-1936) has contributed in a unique and outstanding way to homeopathy and generally, to natural healing. He believed, as not many doctors at his time, that our mental states and our attitude play a vital role in maintaining health and recovering from illness. By the time he died in 1936, Dr. Bach had discovered the 38 remedies, prepared from the flowers of wild plants, trees and bushes, that are able to treat every possible emotional state,...

Sri Aurobindo (1872-1950) was an Indian nationalist, freedom fighter, scholar, poet, mystic, evolutionary philosopher, yogi and guru. His followers further believe that he was an avatar, an incarnation of the Absolute. Sri Aurobindo spent his life — through his vast writings and through his own development — working for the freedom of India, the path to the further evolution of life on earth, and to bring down what he called the Supermind to enable such...

Johann Jakob Bachofen (1815-1887), a Swiss anthropologist and sociologist, is credited with the theory of matriarchy, or Mutterrecht, title of his major publication. This book presented a radically new regard on the role of women in a broad range of ancient societies. Bachofen demonstrated that motherhood is the source of human society, religion, morality, and decorum and he drew upon Crete, Greece, Egypt, India, Central Asia, North Africa, and Spain. I read Das...

Dr. Edmond Bordeaux-Szekely (1900-1979) was a genius researcher from Hungary, who, for the first time in modern Western history has revealed the scandalous mutilation of the Bible by the Christian Church that led to a torso of the original text in which the genuine teachings of the Master Jesus were contained, that were bringing forward the same religious teachings as in Hinduism, Buddhism or Shinto, such as reincarnation, the existence of nature spirits (shen,...
