HEWITT, N.J., July 22, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Science and religion make strange bedfellows. While both take different stances on understanding the universe, Dr. Michael Kosok believes they share a vast, common ground. His new book, The Singularity of Awareness: from Mystical Theology through Contemporary Cosmology (now available through AuthorHouse), uses a new methodology based on the nature of awareness to find the relationship between science and religion.
"Awareness turns out to be a singularity of inseparable distinctions: any aspect of the universe as content to any perceiving being as a context of awareness, while distinct, is not separable from its context, and while inseparable, is not indistinctly of one nature with its context," he says.
Kosok believes both contemporary physics and mystical theology reveal essential singularities expressed differently, but that both singularity forms are expressions "of the root singularity of awareness". The Singularity of Awareness shows how these "subjective spiritual states and objective space-time modalities" are woven together to reveal a tapestry of a nonlinear, non-local multidimensional universe.
"What is required, and here presented, is an intrinsic dynamic of awareness revealing far ranging levels of singularity through a methodology called here a 'triune monadology,' which is how the logic of paradox gives expression to a dynamic of immediacy that lies at the heart of singularity of awareness," Kosok says.
The Singularity of Awareness, therefore, does not try to marry religion and science, nor does it try to synthesize one into the other. Kosok instead uses a "singular perspective" for each discipline simultaneously using both the subjective and objective natures that stem "from the very paradoxical nature of awareness itself."
From examining the "celestial trinity" to the singularity of light in relativistic physics to analyzing the ideas of heaven and hell, Kosok provides a stimulating new theory of awareness in his new book, The Singularity of Awareness.
Kosok is a multidisciplinary scholar with heavy research time spent in the areas of mathematics, physics, philosophy, metaphysics and religion. He has taught physics for more than 40 years at Fairleigh Dickinson University and holds a doctorate in physics and philosophy from Columbia University. He has written a number of articles and given numerous lectures on an array of subjects. Driven by a need to know the origin and meaning of the universe, Kosok wrote The Singularity of Awareness, his first book.
