More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Is there one force that binds us? In plain words, "The Secret Life of the Universe" clearly sets out the principal theories of philosophers and physicists from ancient times to the present day, and offers an urgent hypothesis: science is capable of revealing this most important of secrets. Our greatest opportunity will be to harness it, our greatest peril to deny it. Uncovering the worldwide research now being carried out in fields as diverse as human biology and quantum mechanics, Amy Corzine brilliantly demonstrates how opinions either side of the science-faith divide are converging. There is, beyond doubt, a universal energy.
About the Author
Amy Corzine is a writer, editor and former teacher whose interest in the natural rhythm of life has been inspired by the Findhorn community in Scotland and explorations on both sides of the Atlantic.

4.0 out of 5 stars
meticulous and well-written,
By Jane "wilson-howarth.com" (East Anglia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Secret Life of the Universe: The Quest for the Soul of Science (Paperback)
This book is meticulously researched, readable and clearly argued but as an agnostic, trained in science and medicine, I didn't expect to take anything from it. I was pleasantly surprised therefore to find it interesting and challenging.
Corzine explores the edges of the believable and discusses areas where scientific fact merges into theory and beyond. And she looks at the spiritual and supernatural world too. The fringes. Sure, there were areas which - for me - were beyond belief but much of the book explores the fascinating realms that mainstream scientists tend to shy away from. I found that refreshing and sometimes inspiring. The discussion on the inseparability of mind, body and spirituality was wise, well-argued and thought-provoking. Here in the West most of us live in spiritual poverty; we have all we need materially but things aren't all we need. In my practise as a doctor, all I can do is diagnose and discuss disease. Only occasionally can I offer effective treatment. I have nowhere else to go when my pharmacopeia fails me. Corzine though argues that there are other ways to health - both individual and universal - drawing on resources beyond the pharmacy and industrial gizmos.

Wide horizons,

This review is from: The Secret Life of the Universe: The Quest for the Soul of Science (Paperback)
Amy Corzine has covered an enormous range of topics here, from mysticism through medicine to ecology and technology. Packed with both references and anecdotes, the Secret Life is a great introduction to alternative understandings of our place in space and time. Dawkins and his followers have in recent years been offering incisive - and currently fashionable - criticism of more subtle dimensions of experience; anyone who yet suspects that there might be "something in it" may find stimulus and food for thought in these pages. A good place to start exploring the other side of life and death.

Early Review Comments for THE SECRET LIFE OF THE UNIVERSE - sent to Watkins Publishing in Autumn 2008,
By
This review is from: The Secret Life of the Universe: The Quest for the Soul of Science (Paperback)
"Amy Corzine's book is brilliant, compulsive reading!"
- Colin Wilson, Author of 'The Occult', 'Mysteries', 'The Outsider', etc. "This deep-ranging and carefully studied book is a tremendous contribution to mankind as an example of how our world can integrate and live in peace and unity." - Dorothy Maclean, Co-founder of the Findhorn Foundation "The secret of a brilliant writer is not explaining the most difficult questions of the universe in the most difficult language...but explaining the most complex questions about our life forces, our universe and its energy with complete clarity, easily accessible for all to understand. This book is a masterpiece which, I am sure, will be recorded so in human history." - Dr Harry Oldfield, Inventor/Scientist "Details the many fields of research which prove that the way to move forward for the distracted human race is to meditate and expand our consciousness." - Donovan Leitch, Scottish Singer/Songwriter " A passionate plea for recognition of the innate and intuitive facet of understanding that emerges in an intimate relationship with all things." - Fran Speed, PhD, Environmental Philosopher
