Publisher Description Unlike his previous books, this monograph by Wolfgang Smith deals explicitly with mans quest of immortality: with religion, that is, properly so called. As a Christian, moreover, who in his earlier life had identified with the Vedic tradition, he is well situated to speak knowledgeably of both.Beginning with recollections of his early days amongst Hindu monks-living lives of almost unbelievable yogic attainment-he introduces the reader to the Vedic religion, which he goes on to contrast with the Judeo-Christian, not to exalt one above the other, but to explain the salient difference. Smith argues that the two religions lead to antipodal Ends: the Vedic to what he terms "the nirvnic option," in which "the human" does not survive, and the Christian to salvation, in which it does.Not only thus does Smith disprove the so-called "transcendent unity of religions," but basing himself upon an astounding exegesis discovered by Meister Eckhart, he goes on to show that-contrary again to the prevailing view-the Vedantic categories are in principle subsumed and transcended by the Trinitarian. The author believes that these categorical reflections-admittedly and perforce of an esoteric kind-are called for to terminate the unholy confusion which has for long impeded our comprehension. Author Biography Wolfgang Smith graduated from Cornell at age eighteen with majors in physics, mathematics, and philosophy. He subsequently contributed a theoretical solution to the re-entry problem for space flight. After taking his doctorate in mathematics at Columbia, he served for thirty years as professor of mathematics at M.I.T., U.C.L.A., and Oregon State University. Smith then devoted himself to correcting the fallacies of scientistic belief, focusing on foundational problems pertaining to quantum theory and visual perception by way of the traditional tripartite cosmology. The Philos-Sophia Initiative Foundations documentary on his life and work, The End of Quantum Reality, is now available on disc and digital platforms worldwide.
