As we move from a simple world dominated by material realities to an increasingly complex and virtual one, many old explanations, traditions, and practices are becoming outdated. So, which are still valid, and which are best left behind?

The Laws of ah! takes you on an informal yet novel tour of reality and the spectrum of human endeavors, with one eye on matter and the other on meaning, including the spiritual realms, the ongoing mystical revival, and our newly emerging cosmology. By redefining the roles of science, politics, religion and spirituality, it also takes a fresh look at the major institutions that claim to rule our lives.

Materialism is passing, The gold is in the mind, not the matter! Thus, minding the business of your own mind is paramount to your progress and well-being.

Western society has long struggled with a sterile religion-versus-science impasse. To move forward we need to rethink the science-religion-politics discussion, which I approach in three steps ("books"):

Book l kickstarts a discussion on the nature of reality using Ken Wilber's 'quadrants' model, which I then reformulate, changing the underlying premises that have dominated western thinking for centuries. I propose a novel frame of reference, spelling these ideas out in detail, including several new terms coined ad hoc to get beyond current muddles in terminology.

Book II addresses the problems of current global scales and complexity, and some of the limitations of the old religious and political conceptions in this new context.

Book III looks at the growing wave of experience in transpersonal psychology, integrates current advances in cosmology, and proposes a different approach to religion and spirituality. It then looks at how to go beyond The Books.

With these changes and additions, it is possible to make clear distinctions between teaching and preaching, and between science, technology, politics, religion, spirituality, and mysticism, amongst other things. These distinctions offer new perspectives on the age-old deadlocks that plague our current discussions on these crucial issues. In turn, a better definition of these fields should aid the search for viable solutions to some of the current global problems and affairs of states.
