I want to share some of this book on physics that I have been studying and pondering for the last couple of weeks. Something important is being communicated here. To be sure it is not the final word. Nothing really ever is as long as there is someone around who can speak. Anyway, here are two pdfs containing the first few pages of the text and some of the commentary at the back of the book on those two pages. If there is interest I will add more as time goes on.
Space-Time and Beyond Part 1
Space-Time and Beyond Part 2
It is interesting that the word used in this book is "participator." That is a feasible translation of bhakta, "one who participates" or who is "part of" something greater. That is an interesting aspect of the term that is not often recalled. We would lose it altogether if we replaced the words bhakta and bhakti with devotee and devotion. Those terms are much more complex and multivalent than their common English translations.
