“Religion for Scientists” by Frank Henry

"Following Fritjof Capra’s arguments in The Tao of Physics, this book seeks to draw a connection between Western mysticism and theoretical physics, specifically between string theory and the Hebrew esoteric tradition of Qabala, arguing that the structure of space-time is defined by the Qabalistic Tree of Life. Modern theories developed to combine the incompatible theories of relativity and quantum mechanics nearly always postulate that the Universe is defined in more dimensions than we are aware of — 10 in the super-symmetrical string theories, and 11 in M-theory and 11D supergravity. This implies that, in addition to the four dimensions from special relativity, there exist six more compactified onto a 6D complex geometry."...>>

“A Dao for the Third Millennium: The Politics, Psychology, Philosophy, and Practice of the Common Good” by Jack Parkinson

"This new and comprehensive rendition and commentary on the Chinese classic Dao De Jing was researched over 13 years in China. It is built on the premise that if the scholar Laozi had ideas and advice on personal conduct 2,500 years ago that could shake the foundations of philosophy for centuries afterwards, as well as influencing the course of three of the great world religions — then perhaps these ideas are still worth our serious consideration now. This work, loosely structured on the 81-verse original Chinese text, is an engaging blend of modern and ancient philosophy with a focus on genuinely practical life advice. The timeless relevance of Laozi's 2,500-year-old text is explored here at...>>

“The Tao of the West: Western Tranformations of Taoist Thought” by J.J. Clarke

"In this book, J.J. Clarke shows us how Taoist texts, ideas, and practices have been assimilated within a whole range of Western ideas and agendas. We see how Chinese thinkers such as Lao-tzu and Chuang tzu, along with practices such as Feng Shui and Tai Chi, have been used as a key Western inspiration in religion, philosophy, ethics, politics, ecology and health. The Tao of the West not only provides a fascinating introduction to Taoism, it also offers a timely insight into the history of the West's encounter with this ancient tradition, and into the issues arising from inter-cultural dialogue. Anyone interested in understanding the key influence Taoism has had on the West will welcome...>>
