Product description

Review

"On the Mystery of Being is a testimony to the courageous and openminded spirit of inquiry that characterizes the Science and Non-Duality community."

--Rupert Spira, teacher of Non-Duality and author of several books, including The Nature of Consciousness and Being Aware of Being Aware--Rupert Spira

"Good news! Non-dual consciousness and radical embodiment are not mutually exclusive. Maybe you, like I, have known this all along; known it in the cells of your own holy body, touched this truth in the depths of silence, live it and teach it and forget and remember it. This collection of luminous essays points us beyond language to the undifferentiated field of being that turns out to be nothing less than Love Itself. Enter."

--Mirabai Starr, author of Wild Mercy, and translator of Dark Night of the Soul--Mirabai Starr

"Human civilization will only survive if we are able to create communities whose members do not find happiness in excessive material consumption, but in relationships among each other and with the entire community of life. This book of many voices shows beautifully that Maurizio and Zaya have created such a community."

--Fritjof Capra, author of The Web of Life, and coauthor of The Systems View of Life--Fritjof Capra

"In this glorious compendium of thinkers who live and work on the frontiers of the art and science of consciousness, we have a book that opens portals to worlds that astonish while advancing the human mind and spirit. For in these pages, we are met with numinous knowledge and priceless wisdom from those who have 'been there.' Here, too, is the paradox of living in a biodegradable space-time suit and being the universe in miniature. Ultimately, these essays constitute a kind of a text for those who have 'consciously' enrolled in God School! Thus, what you read here both inspires and signals a new and possibly saving agenda for the human species and the Earth we dwell upon."

--Jean Houston, PhD, chancellor of Meridian University, chairman of the United Palace of Spiritual Arts, researcher and teacher in human capacities and social artistry, and author--Jean Houston, PhD

Book Description

With this dazzling collection of essays, the founders of the expanding Science and Nonduality (SAND) conference bring together a wide array of visionary spiritual leaders, psychologists, philosophers, scientists, teachers, authors, and healers to celebrate and explore what it means to be human.

About the Author

Zaya Benazzo is a filmmaker from Bulgaria with degrees in engineering, environmental science, and film. For many years, she worked as an environmental activist in Holland and Bulgaria, and later produced and directed several award-winning documentaries in Europe and the United States.

Maurizio Benazzo grew up in Italy, and in 1984 came to the United States on a ninety-eight-year-old sailing boat. He started working as an actor, model, and filmmaker, but his thirst for knowledge was only satisfied in 2001 upon encountering I Am That, the seminal work by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, while he was in India shooting the award-winning documentary Short Cut to Nirvana.

Maurizio and Zaya merged their lifelong passions for science and mysticism when they met in 2007, and their first project together was filming the documentary Rays of the Absolute on the life and teachings of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj. This project sparked their next level of creation and collaboration: Science and Nonduality (SAND)―a global community inspired by the timeless wisdom traditions, informed by modern science, and grounded in direct experience.

Foreword writer Deepak Chopra is author of more than seventy books, including numerous New York Times bestsellers. His medical training is in internal medicine and endocrinology.

Afterword writer Michael A. Singer is author of the New York Times bestseller, The Untethered Soul, which has also been published in numerous languages around the world

Maurizio Benazzo

Maurizio Benazzo grew up in Italy searching for answers to the big questions since he was a young boy. In 1984 came to the United States on a ninety-eight-year-old "lateen sail" boat and started working as an actor, model, and filmmaker. His thirst for knowledge was satisfied in 2001 upon encountering I Am That, the seminal work by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, while he was in India shooting the award-winning documentary "Short Cut to Nirvana". Upon meeting his life partner Zaya they co-founded, in 2009, Science And NonDuality (SAND) and continue to produce events and movies exploring the edge of what it means to be humans going above and beyond any specific teacher or tradition.

This is a gem - the spread and depth of enquiry is inspiring and the sense of being on the verge of answers is tantalising.... so much still unknown, but the essays in here point the way to finding answers.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book with numerous contributors on a host of interesting topics.

Reviewed in the United States on 11 August 2021

The many modern developments in science especially Quantum physics, cosmology other fields, has shown that many of the theories surrounding esoteric topics may in fact be valid when it comes to consciousness and the universe. While shopping on Amazon I came across this fascinating 225 page soft cover book (On the mystery of being: Contemporary insights on the convergence of science and spirituality, edited by Zaya and Maurizio Benazzo) and immediately purchased it.

When this book arrived and I began reading it I could barely put it down because of the interesting and thought provoking essays. This is a book that has a whole host of knowledgeable and talented writers who have contributed their short essays to entertain and enlighten readers. The forward is written by Deepak Chopra, and the introduction is written by the editors Zaya and Maurizio Benazzo.

This unique volume is organized into eight parts with each part written by numerous different authors. Part one covers voices of contemporary spirituality. Part two is about the rebirth of metaphysics. Part three explains how science embraces consciousness. Part four deals with the wonders of nature. Part five focuses on the body as teacher. Part six explores the heart of intimacy. Part seven is about exploring the shadows. Part eight covers the doorways to heaven.

In conclusion, if you like reading short essays by talented and knowledgeable writers on a wide range of fascinating topics of science, spirituality and consciousness this is a book you should definitely check out.

Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Never trust a politician: critical reviews of politics and politicians).

On the Mystery of Being: Contemporary Insights on the Convergence of Science and Spirituality is crammed full of really thought-provoking insights from some of the world's foremost spiritual teachers, scientists, and thinkers. Definitely a wonderful addition to grace the bookshelf of anyone who loves to ponder life deeply.

Sep 17, 2019 Paul rated it it was amazing
This is essentially an anthology with a huge variety of perspectives from some incredibly intelligent and wise people. There's some science, philosophy, ancient wisdom, and much more. Readers are guaranteed to learn some interesting perspectives and/or be challenged at times. This wasn't as good as I had expected, partly because each essay is pretty short (thus lacks a certain amount of depth), but that brevity is also a good thing because sometimes it encapsulates all that's needed -- so a mixed bag. But overall, excellent, and likely to send readers to more of some author's work or references. Recommended for those curious about the topic in any way. 4.5 stars rounded up.

I really appreciate the ARC for review!! (less)

This is a really thought provoking and beautiful book from so many people! To get all of these questions, contemplations, perspectives, and wisdom has been a wonderful read. The convergence of science and spirituality is fascinating, and this book provided insight from many perspectives that have me thinking about the possibilities of life, where we came from, how, of our connection, and the universe and our place in it.

This anthology is a gift to any curious mind and a hands-on resource for every day inquiring. I am loving it. Every teacher or scientist sharing their piece brings such a unique yet complementary angle to the picture that makes it a whole unbroken field of exploration. Thank you so much for putting this inspiring work together!
