These chapters began as a series of lectures organized and sponsored by the Esalen Center for Theory and Research, founded by independent scholar Michael Murphy, author of The Future of the Body.
Our team of scientists and other scholars began research nearly a decade ago with a
commitment to evaluating, organizing, and documenting robust scientific evidence that
supports the hypotheses of life after death and reincarnation. We published the results in
a thoroughly researched and documented book Irreducible Mind: Toward a Psychology
for the 21st Century.2 We regard this as a landmark demonstration that the human
personality is more than the body, and a powerful argument that the human personality
survives bodily death.
Having assembled a formidable body of evidence, our next task is to ask: “If survival and
reincarnation are actual facts, how can we make sense of this?
Whatever theory that we develop to coordinate the data which we are about to present,
that theory, to be credible at all, will also have to be coordinated with the scientific
understanding of reality which our civilization has pieced together over the last 400 years
of sustained social effort.
In this book, I will outline a way in which such a coordinations may be achieved.
