Book excerpt: From the newly discovered Higgs particle of the subatomic world to the emerging role of the vast quantities of unseen matter and energy of outer space to our earthly relationships and the age-old questions about who we are and where we go when we die, The Numinous Factor shows how both science and everyday life in the twenty-first century can be experienced better by seeing spirituality as the basis of everything. Through application of its ten non-religious principles of mind expansion, you will: Understand better the latest discoveries of science Discover more of your own complex identity Increase beyond limitation your awareness and ability to comprehend Relate better to everyone and everything in the world around you through spiritual unity Calm your mind by seeing your basic essence as being one with the spirituality of the Universe Realize why seemingly negative things happen See new dimensions of your existence after this earthly life Sense the great peace and happiness of a higher spiritual consciousness. The Numinous Factor is the missing link between physical reality and spiritual reality. It opens up the heart and reveals new dimensions of our expanding Mind.
