Synopsis This is a work about our very existence, about Reality, about the relationship between the individual personality and the cosmos in which that personality exists, showing how the person is a microcosm, a little part of the cosmos, subtly reflecting his ‘world’ however autonomous or independent he may believe he is. It intends to resolve the central problems of Eastern and Western philosophy, the question of the meaning of the mystical union and the question, which has arisen in the modern West, of the relationship between consciousness and the so-called ‘physical world’. The final essay presenting the Science-Mysticism synthesis, provides a convenient basic framework for categorizing the various aspects of yogic mysticism which are often jumbled together haphazardly by uneducated holy men and commentators who often have little appreciation of the real significance of the various mystical realisations.
