I cannot recommend the book mentioned in this post enough for anyone interested in the intersection between science/spirituality.

I found it challenged many assumptions held by my younger self who was a self-admitted atheist and believed in the ability of Science (in my limited understanding thereof) to explain everything.

I'm not saying that all the arguments presented therein are correct, but I found them quite suitable to rock my world-view.

Then again, "when the student is ready, the Guru will present himself" (a quote from my master).



I think science can, with enough effort, predict most things. Whether it explains anything is an open topic of debate in my friend group.

Also, just FYI, that's a fairly famous quote that gets tossed around a lot. Although usually with "teacher" or "master" in place of Guru. (Does anyone else have a negative connotation with that word?) I assume your master was referencing it.
