Reseña del libro "Blindspot: Through the Wormhole of Science and Religion (en Inglés)"
Blindspot exposes the unseen distinctions that exist among the ways that people seek the Big Answers to the questions posed by life, the universe, and everything. When most people speak about God or Truth or the Divine, Campion asserts, they aren't actually talking about anything divine or godly at all -- whether they are believers, unbelievers or undecided. Whatever their posture toward these matters, they betray an almost universal "unseeingness" about what the entire spiritual enterprise is actually about -- its rules, codes, even its final aim. They are blind to what the great sages of the world's religious and philosophical traditions have pointed to forever -- which also happen to converge with the discoveries of contemporary science as it grapples with the nature of consciousness. At its core, this book is about the blind spot that prevents us from knowing who we are. In revealing this obliviousness, the author dives into the perspective that is commonly known as "nonduality," the principle that lies at the core of all world wisdom traditions, including the scientific ones. The reasons for what Campion has dubbed "Blindspot" may be understandable, yet as he shows in brilliant, and often humorous detail, its costs to the individual, to humanity in general, to the planet as a whole, are high, indeed. In a word, confusion. In another word, suffering. Although there are numerous books available today about nonduality, only Blindspot addresses the critical distinctions that exist between the conventional approaches to spirituality -- indeed, to life itself -- and the nondual approaches. Plus, how these same distinctions also play out in the sciences. Moss Campion is a qualified commentator, having immersed himself in the mystery of consciousness all his life, both in the context of his personal circumstances and also in his work with patients in the hospital setting. Along the way he studied with many esteemed teachers and guides, in both the animal and plant kingdoms.
