About the Book : Bhaskar Vyas and Rajni Vyas explore space, time and consciousness through material sciences. This leads to a Fifth Dimension such as space-time-consciousness continuum. Rationale is furnished by paranormal occurrences viz. Intuition, collective consciousness, the mystic experiences of the sages, telepathy, precognition, clairvoyance, clairaudience, psychokinesis, near death experiences, hypnotic phenomena, Whitten Effect and Bruce Effect, reincarnation, Déjà vu, paranormal healing, abnormal survival and materialization of objects and persons. Acquisition of siddhis by sages such as micro sensing, even up to the smallest elementary particle have inspired awe, surprise and astonishment. Thus, mysticism still exists. Truth that manifests all over the universe as unified knowledge may be called spirituality. Acknowledging that the quest of such a spirit is still evading, the book postulate that sages discovered siddhis. Meditation was the path to such special accomplishments. Paranormal would have a natural occurrence through the personage of such spiritual giants. All phenomena in Nature must obey natural laws. Authors envisage the emergence of a unified theory of fundamental laws of physics with further understanding of quantum electrodynamics.
