This is the introductory episode of a landmark 60-part series of essays on personal, life-changing spiritual experiences shared by leading scientists and academics. Together, they comprise an audio book of the volume of the same name, published by The Academy for the Advancement of Postmaterialist Sciences and edited by Marjorie Woollacott and David Lorimer..
Tom McLeish, Professor of Natural Philosophy in the Department of Physics, University of York comments:
"This collection of personal testimonies of scientists’ transcendent experiences provides a unique and polychromatic insight of human experience. Woollacott’s and Lorimer’s volume is unusual within science in both its grammar (first person) and topic (the subjective rather than objective). Yet both are essential aspects of human experience, especially so for those who peer most deeply into the mysteries of the material world. It will prove a thought-provoking resource."
In this episode, Professor Marjorie Woollacott sets the scene.
