A new science of heaven : how the science of plasma changes our understanding of physical and spiritual reality

'I knew it was a book I needed to read' - VIVIENNE WESTWOOD 'His book explains complex scientific theory in a graspable way' - LILY ASHLEY 'This book is an important contribution, and I hope it will open many minds. What is particularly important in it are the discussions of David Bohm, of bioplasma, biophotons, and bioelectronics.' - PROFESSOR ZBIGNIEW WOLKOWSKI, Sorbonne University, Paris "Answers so many questions, scientific and esoteric, about the true nature of our reality... A seminal work... Will revolutionise how we frame reality and the thinking of everyone on this planet. Kudos to Professor Temple for striking the first match to light the fire." - NEW DAWN The story of the science of plasma and its revolutionary implications for the way we understand the universe and our place in it. Histories of science in the 20th century have focused on relativity and quantum mechanics. But, quietly in the background, there has been a third area of exploration which has equally important implications for our understanding of the universe. It is unknown to the general public despite the fact that many Nobel prize winners, senior academics and major research centres around the world have been devoted to it - it is the study of plasma Plasma is the fourth state of matter and the other three - gas, liquid and solids - emerge out of plasma. This book will reveal how over 99% of the universe is made of plasma and how there are two gigantic clouds of plasma, called the Kordylewski Clouds, hovering between the Earth and the Moon, only recently discovered by astronomers in Hungary. Other revelations not previously known outside narrow academic disciplines include the evidence that in certain circumstances plasma exhibits features that suggest they may be in some sense clouds of plasma have evolved double helixes, banks of cells and crystals, filaments and junctions which could control the flow of electric currents, thus generating an intelligence similar to machine intelligence. We may, in fact, have been looking for signs of extra-terrestrial life in the wrong place. Bestselling author Robert Temple has been following the study of plasma for decades and was personally acquainted with several of the senior scientists - including Nobel laureates - at its forefront, including Paul Dirac, David Bohm, Peter Mitchell and Chandra Wickramasinghe (who has co-written an academic paper with Temple). New Knowledge From The Most Recent Advances In A Little-known Area Of Science Matches Many Of The Accounts Surviving Down The Ages From Mystics, Meditators, People Who Have Survived Near-death Experiences, Inspired Sages And Shamans, And Experiences From Dreams And Trance States. Such Accounts Have Until Now Been Dismissed By People Inclined To Hold 'materialistic' Views Of The World. Many People Often Take Pride In Describing Themselves As 'sceptics' Or 'agnostics'. In A New Science Of Heaven, Robert Temple Takes The View That It Is Reasonable To Be Sceptical, But Can Understand How These Altered States May Have Been Used In The Past To Access Awareness Of The Elusive And Apparently Immaterial 'other World' By Shamans And Seers Over The Millennia. We May Discover That Many Of Their Accounts And Experiences Have Remarkable Validity. Scientific Progress Is Now Sufficiently Advanced To Enable A World Of The Spirit To Be Described And Explained In A Rigourous Fashion For The First Time. The Advances Made In The Physics Of Complex Plasmas In Recent Years Provides A Mathematical And Physical Basis To Describe The Soul, Or Spirit. These Advances Make It Possible To Understand Ghosts, For Complex Plasmas Can Pass Through Walls And Emerge The Same On The Other Side. (indeed, They Can Pass Through Each Other And Survive Intact As Well.) The 'other World' Is Material, But It Is A Different Kind Of Matter.
