The book is a statistical evaluation of achievement in relation to age, assembling an incredible amount of factual information on the acres of b superlative achievement in every field from prize-fighting to philosophy. Terminal illness and the final years of life become transitional preparatory periods, whereby we disengage with the pleasant and unpleasant illusions of earthly existence, which could turn out to be spiritually productive.Ĭertain assumptions about man's creativity in relation to his chronological age have become so widely accepted as fact that the findings of this book will surprise both general reader and specialist and may have far-reaching effects on established patterns of thought in psychology and in education. In view of the accumulating evidence in favor of the reality of discarnate existence, the medical viewpoint toward assisted suicide needs to be morally evaluated. Death-related visions offer evidence of an extended consciousness and its survival after physical extinction, but additionally, Marian mysticism illuminates us of the Heavenly realities and contributes meaning to terrestrial existence. Self-realization, discarnate existence, and God realization are important aspects of spirituality.
Ultra-reductionism is a serious challenge, and this can be addressed by exploring mysticism. From a spiritual and scientific perspective, the ongoing Marian apparitional occurrences in Medjugorje (Bosnia) are highly valuable. Similarly, studies of Marian apparitions could be bringing mysticism to the realm of the scientific imagination. The study of near-death experiences (NDEs) has brought the exploration of post-mortem existence to the scientific arena. In this respect, studies of mysticism are an unavoidable part of a scientific quest. Quantum is the bedrock of matter, but mysticism is the bedrock of reality. Paranormal and mystical experiences challenge reductionism and ultra-reductionism-the assumption that the whole is the same as the sum of its parts. Age related decline of creativity supports strongly the view that creativity has also a biological foundation. The assumed link between generativity and mental disorder can be clarified only when we elucidate the creative process, and parasciences may be able to clarify some of the conceptual confusions. Psychography and evidences of discarnate existence may indicate that some original ideas may be flourishing in another dimension, in readiness for transfer to the minds of creative individuals. Without adequate intellectual tools and an expanded model of the brain-mind consciousness complex, studies of creativity are inevitably erroneous. They are challenged by the parapsychological perspectives that offer us a broader vision of consciousness. The current genetic and psychopathological views of creativity are rooted in the reductionist model of consciousness. The human mind should be regarded as a means of communication, constituting both a highly sophisticated receiver and a transmitter.
Studies of creativity signify the irreducibility of mind and may show the way beyond the quantum consciousness, unraveling its near-paranormal nature. Creativity is a multilevel process with a biological substratum.
