Some time within the year, I will be going through both books (Spirit Calls Nature, and Meaning and Purpose…) and providing a summary/outline of each chapter. I’ll make an announcement here when they’re ready.
But there’s no substitute for the books themselves. I still hold to my Amazon review claim: Best books on science and spirituality in at least half century (and that includes all 3 of Ed Kelly’s books and David Bentley Hart’s recent “All Things Are Full of Gods”)
It’s a great discipline for me, whatever value it may ( or may not!) have for anyone else. I could just ask Claude to do it for me (Claude is amazing for stuff like figuring out new stuff in my Logic Pro music app; so far TERRIBLE for philosophy and spirituality and meditation) but I wouldn’t learn anything (except by having to spend time fixing all the errors and confusion)
But yeah, I look forward to learning a great deal about basic physics, evolutionary biology, and neuroscience, as well as getting a clearer idea about the philosophic alternatives to integral yogic philosophy. The way you ferret out the precise errors of the mainstream view is quite marvelous to me.
Meanwhile, I STILL think that a good presentation of psi within this framework is essential. I started reviewing, over the past few months, over a dozen very clear psychic experiences I’ve had and when I carefully share them with skeptics (only in person, it rarely works online) it really does get even the most intransigent ones to slow down and reconsider.

A summary of each chapter? Oh... 😮

Yes, I would love to present psi within this framework. It could be a very interesting avenue to explore.
Ok, let me practice precognition:
You’re not going to meet me in a dream at the Matrimandir tonight!
We’ll check in tomorrow to see how I did. If I predict this accurately enough times, we can send a summary to Arthur Reber!
NOT? Then it's a hard challenge. 😄
But dissecting the paper of Reder could be an interesting analysis.
Those look like great books. I may have to buy one or more.
I would highly recommend Marco's books to anyone reading this.
