Nature's Hidden Force: Joining Spirituality and Science

NEW BOOK Nature's Hidden Force
Review by Ing. Angel Sanchez Huerta

"I want to share with you that I am just delighted reading your book for the second time. Of course, I´m now trying to really study it and understand more deeply the fundamental concepts you have discovered. At any rate, I just want to answer so far a question that one of my daughters might ask me tomorrow. Dad, what comments can you make us in one minute about the book? What a question!!!
Well, I might answer the question so far by saying: They must be absolutely blessed by God, because after so many years of research and tenacious curiosity they have made the most profound discoveries I have ever seen about the Universe, Nature and Life. Their book must be read by any human who really wants to know the answers to some of the most fundamental questions of his/her life, such as:

" What is the inmost purpose of the Universe? What is the driving force of the Universe?
" Does life have a meaning and what is the meaning of my life? Why are we here?
" How does nature really works and expresses Creativity? And
" What can we learn from nature to improve our creative thinking to lead the creative change that the world needs?

Oh my God...I think this is what I might respond to my daughter in just one minute!!!.

Thank you for this wonderful gift."

KIRKUS REVIEW
Scientist Land and educator Jarman (co-authors Breakpoint and Beyond, Mastering the Future—Today, 1993) examine the more disturbing implications of the law of entropy.
Entropy, second in the laws of thermodynamics, may invite feelings of existential angst when applied to all aspects of life. “All processes in the universe manifest a tendency toward decay and disintegration, with a net increase in what is called the entropy, or state of randomness or disorder, of the system,” the authors write. In other words, they say, “the whole lot of the universe is designed to break down and fall apart.” A chance encounter with a morose former seminarian in an Irish pub introduced the authors to this rather bleak concept, and their efforts to make sense of it resulted in this work. Land and Jarman begin by thoroughly defining entropy in the words of top-notch scientists, which should be recognizable and understandable to even the least scientifically educated. They then move on to the introduction of syntropy, a term attributed to Albert Szent-Gyorgyi that relates to a re-ordering of the universe—“becoming more ordered, more interdependently connected with the environment.” Finally, Land and Jarman show how “Creative Connecting” provides the link between chaos and order, making entropy not a source of despair but rather the necessary precursor to all that is beautiful in the universe. While Land and Jarman fulfill their promise of presenting their theories in an approachable manner, they include too many explanations of entropy. Their pointed comments on how “our inborn capability for creativity”is suppressed rather than nurtured through the American educational system seem particularly relevant and timely due to the current debate over the Common Core curriculum.

We've been waiting for a book that joins science and spiritBy sanford danziger on August 3, 2014Format: Kindle Edition Verified PurchaseDr. Sanford Danziger, MD, MPH, CoPresident, TRP Enterprises, Inc., an organization that trains managers, educators, etc. around the world including US Airways, ESPN, American Express.

I've been digesting the incredible effect the book has had on me personally, and pondering the positive effect it will have on others.

The lyrics of Over the Rainbow says, "Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high, there's a land that I heard of, once in a lullaby." This book makes that land--that state of mind--real; that dim vision we have had, perhaps as a child at bedtime. We dimly have known that life was supposed to be--could be--this way. "And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true."

This book shows that the dreams are real.

Many of us did not know we were part of the search party to validate what we heard from the still, small voice in the lullaby. The book validates the search. It shows that the search has a true purpose and an answer. It does this by employing science and logic, not beliefs, mysticism or religion.

Some may say, "How great that science can validate/support spirituality."
Perhaps the truer statement is that that is the purpose of science, just as that is the purpose of art, politics, education, religion, business. All show that we are spirit, were we but to look at them with that in mind.
The book is eye-opening and uplifting as well as grounded and grounding. It is an example of how science fosters consciousness and how consciousness allows us to see science in its true light and purpose.

The book's research is clear. The logic is step-by-step and allows the reader to know that he/she can follow, and participate in, and resolve what were thought to be the knottiest of human problems and dilemmas. It is our birthright to know the information that this book contains.
