A great master once said, ‘you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free’. ‘Spiritual Theory of Everything’ is the crystallization of my decades of ongoing conscious journey to find answers to the fundamental questions of life from a spiritual and scientific perspective in a non-dualistic and holistic way.
If you have the quest for answers to the fundamental questions that every seeking, evolving person has, then this book is for you.
This book explains the nature and mechanism of life that include the fundamental truths about the Creator, the processes of creation and evolution, the spirit-mind-body connection, the constitution of our inner being, the present evolutionary stage of human beings in a Cosmic reference frame, and also how to live in harmony with Nature. It also contains topics like the fundamental particle, soul, mind, spirit, chakras, cosmic laws, densities or dimensions, spiritual development, reincarnation, karma, natural living, planetary changes etc.
It further explains how much conscious evolution you can achieve by understanding your true inner nature and aligning yourself with the nature and purpose of life. It also shows that we live in an orderly and purposeful Universe which is multidimensional and when we learn to live in harmony with it we can live an abundant life. We are the cause and the conditions of our life are only the effects. When we change inwardly, the external world (our circumstances) has to change so as to be in alignment with our inner vibrations.
Can we explain everything by science alone? This books takes a position wherein both science and spirituality need to be in synthesis and harmony, mutually supporting each other, in the quest for Truth. It will help you realize who you truly are and your place and purpose in the universe. This realization will challenge, inspire and expand your consciousness and help you consciously connect with the universal power and presence within and without.
In fact, life is no more a puzzle once we unravel its true nature and mechanism. By the time you reach the last chapter, your persective about life will shift drastically and you will experience a newfound freedom, as if some burden has been lifted off your shoulders, as if some unknown darkness has been dispelled. It will leave you much more equipped to handle life without losing traction and experience a sense of wholesomeness and new found purpose.
This book is intended for all seekers of truth, whether scientific, spiritual or holistic and a must read for all who want to help themselves and others to live a healthy, happy, peaceful and purposeful life, now and forever.
Thomas Vazhakunnathu is a spiritual scientist, teacher, and author from India, known for his ability to merge spirituality with scientific insights, offering a holistic perspective on life and its challenges.
Thomas's spiritual journey began at the age of 23 in 1994, when a profound inner transformation changed the course of his life. Since then, he has devoted himself to exploring and understanding the deeper principles that influence our existence.
By 2004, Thomas came to the realization that no single path or belief system can claim exclusive access to truth or salvation. He discovered a profound interconnectedness in all things and recognized that truth can be found in various forms and practices. His work highlights the importance of understanding these principles to overcome life's challenges and achieve a more peaceful and fulfilling existence.
As a keen observer of life, Thomas dedicates his time to exploring, integrating, and living these universal principles. His work emphasizes the importance of harmony with nature and the urgent need for sustainable practices to address the global challenges we face today.
Thomas's mission is to inspire and guide others toward greater peace, health, and harmony. He believes that our future depends not just on technological progress, but also on our ability to recognize the interconnected and hierarchical nature of the universe, which is governed by universal laws. Understanding and aligning with these laws is essential for achieving harmony and balance in our lives and in the world around us.
Thomas is also a proponent of ethical governance and community-driven initiatives, emphasizing the importance of aligning societal and environmental well-being for a better future for all.
Thomas holds a master's degree in English Literature and Business Administration.
Very clear, easy to understand. Although I was already familiar with much of the content, there were still some surprises.
Like many books in this genre, I find them to be a double-edged sword. On one hand, I feel spiritually inadequate when I read them, but on the other, I feel inspired to increase my efforts.
A thoughtful attempt to link Science and Spirituality. But it makes a lot of (non-justified) assumptions.
This is a book which refers to a lot of different ideas and tries to link them into a coherent whole. However, I was surprised that there were no footnotes, citing evidence for the claims which it makes. And where there were references, they were relatively vague. For example, Chapter 2 opens with a quote from Max Planck. I would have liked to look it that quote and see it in its original context, but there is no reference to enable readers to look it up.
This means that the style of the book is more like a sermon which unfolds a viewpoint, preaching a message, rather than presenting an argument to convince.
One of the problems in the book is that there is a tendency to just make assumptions, and then assume that readers will accept those assumptions. For example, chapter 1 establishes the existence of a god (or spiritual force) in just a few paragraphs (6%). There is an assumption that there must be a cause for what there is. And then there is an assumption that there must be a designer for what we find. Those briefly stated assumptions are queried at length by Atheists. But there is no argument in the book (or even reference to other sources) to justify assumptions that atheist critiques can be rejected.
The author assumes that ‘trying to find the ‘truth’ from a single religion’s scripture is not a wise idea’ (2%) although he also seems to cite Hinduism as being less bad in that regard (3%). The rejection of all Scriptures is justified by saying that messages can get confused when they are transmitted through oral traditions (as most scriptures have been transmitted). But that is an odd reason, which faiths do address and give arguments to reject. In any case, books can make mistakes too. Is that a reason for rejecting this book out of hand? Arguments cannot just jump from a possibility of error to an actuality. They need to cite evidence and reasons to justify their claims.
Here are a few other examples of unjustified assumptions:
The book states that ‘most contemporary religions hold a somewhat distorted view of God’ (9%). But how does the author know better than the billions of people in those other religions?
We are told that ‘Science has recognised certain laws, such as the law of…Karma, the law of attraction and the law of vibration.’ (9%). Really? Those laws are rejected as pseudo-science by many scientists. So the book cannot just make assumptions about them, without citing evidence to justify its view.
The book states: ‘Space research suggests that humanity is not alone in the universe.’ (9%). Really? Which research? What is the evidence for that bold claim?
We are also told that ‘according to quantum mechanics there is no reality until it is observed.’ (21%). But that claim is not correct. Yes ‘some interpretations of quantum mechanics’ make that claim. But there are other interpretations which argue differently. If the author has a preferred interpretation then he needs to present an argument to justify what would otherwise be an unjustified assumption about which interpretation to take.
The book states that other dimensions exist, which cannot be perceived by our senses (23%). What is the evidence for that claim?
We are also told that science does not explain why apes have stopped evolving into humans (25%). Arguably evolution does explain precisely that point, as it typically shows that evolution is a continuing process which affects all living things.
The book states that reincarnation occurs (28%). Again, why does the author assume that that is true? Different religions cite different scriptures on the matter. What is the author’s evidence base, for his view on the matter?
The book also states that humans have ESP (39%). Again, that is a view that has been investigated by scientists and there is (as yet) no accepted indisputable evidence to justify it. This means that it is sometimes described as Pseudo-science. What is the author’s reason for assuming it to be true?
And we are also told that the Hindu theory of Rays (koshas) and Chakras is true (42%). But again, Chakras have been dismissed by some scientists as unevidenced pseudo-science. So what is the authors’ evidence base to justify an alternative viewpoint on the issue?
Overall, this book just makes too many assumptions, and it offers too many unjustified opinions. It reads (arguably) in places as an example of pseudo-science because it does not justify its claims. And so it cannot be recommended.
Section 1 was bit difficult to read but other sections were relatively ok. I could hardly connect 25% of the concepts. Section 4 We the Humans is the largest section consisting almost half of the book. I found the planetary changes and natural living more useful to me.
Overall my first reading was a tough one. May be I have to reread this few more times in the coming weeks to get a hang of it. No doubt it contains amazing truths but only problem seems to be readers capability to understand them properly.
It seems this unusually gifted author has figured out how to explain God and how true spirituality actually works here on Earth, but more importantly, in the language, terms and examples, that spiritually seeking individuals from all nations will be able to understand.
So far I have not seen another book that explains these concepts clearly at one place.
You don't have to agree, but most makes complete sense
In tune. I'd recommended to a friend saying it would take more than one read to take in. Then, as I get to the end, the author says exactly this. I like how it's not pushing.'You must...' and the various explanations do make sense when you sit back and take time to ponder and reflect. I certainly will be re reading soon.
I enjoyed this book, I agree with most of it but the lack of referencing absolutely destroys its integrity as a serious piece. You cannot write 'astrophysics' and 'quantum mechanics' as references without citing the scientists, studies or sources you learned from. The author didn't think this up from thin air, he researched enough to compile over 200 pages or thought-provoking content.
Referencing is essential because: 1. It ensures the integrity of your work. Citing other sources provides accurate content to back up your claims and proves you have done your research from appropriate sources.
2. Protects the author against plagiarism. Even paraphrasing (summarising points/another person's work in your own words) requires references. Without references you are stealing the work of other people and publishing it as your own. Your sources deserve credit!
3. Provides further reading material for your audience to study or interpret for themselves, and shows them basic intellectual respect. Some of your readers may have little knowledge about quantum mechanics or the Bible and would need references to guide them to the appropriate material. Even quotes with the author's name require a reference.
I understand that Harvard referencing can be difficult if you've never done it before, but at least add a few links to studies/sources or give the book title and author name.
Additionally, it's concerning when nutritional and other health advice is given when the author does not have the appropriate qualifications to do this. This is, again, why referencing is vital. The author is a 'spiritual scientist' but there is no evidence of any formal educational background or work experience to provide his own accreditation. I understand you don't need to be a professional to write an academic book (a solid reference list is good enough) to prove you know what you're talking about but without it your work is null.
All-in-all my issue with this book is that is professes to be scientific and well researched but it lacks proper referencing to prove it. I would strongly recommend doing your own research on quantum mechanics and other material before reading this book.
I borrowed this book, but as soon as I finished reading it - I immediately had to go and purchase it for myself, because I know this will be a book I will want to read again and again - throughout many future phases of my life. Already, so much makes sense to me that didn't before - and I am positive that I still have much yet to glean!
Interesting enough that i will read more of his books. Although fairly well proofread, it feels the proofreader does not have english as their first language, for instance 'the' is missed a lot so instead of saying 'the majority of people' it would say just 'majoritypf people', or something like' when an individual contract a disease' instead of 'contracts'.
This is a fantastic book! Everyone should read this to learn about our spiritual and natural life. There is so much to learn to raise our levels. We need to love everyone. We are all one.
I will definitely re read and refer to this book many times. It all made so much sense and filled me with feelings of hope, peace and calm. Thank you thank you thank you
