I found this book by David Cameron Gikandi to be extremely informative and enlightening. It is obvious that the author has done exhaustive research in putting together this body of work. It is fascinating to see so many different things, science, religion, metaphysics, philosophy, and more in one book.It is very comprehensive in bringing together all these different aspects to form a single train of thought. He demonstrates the marriage of science and religion through quantum physics and eastern thought. Another point worth mentioning, is the fact that I enjoyed reading the research of  David Hawkins, I found it to be very insightful.I was amazed at the research done on the mice and monkeys in the discovery of an universal exchange of knowledge that traditional science cannot not explain, but it's there. The monkeys and sweet potatoes, simply amazing. The part where his talks about the "blastema cells" leaves you wondering how long before humans will have this ability with the way science is advancing. Remarkable stuff. There is a in-depth section on Chakras and the role they play. Very interesting with the amount of information provided. There is something here for everyone.On the issues of Metaphysics and Philosophy, I was impressed once again at the depth of knowledge in this book. Anyone who can quote Gurdjieff has my attention. "Time is breath. Try to understand this." - and, "Eternity is the infinite existence of every moment of time.  If we conceive time as a line, then this line will be crossed at every point by the lines of eternity. Every point of the line of time will be a line in eternity. The line of time will be a plane of eternity. Eternity has one dimension more than time. "- Gurdjieff (1873-1949)Now, on the question on the meaning of life. That's a good question. Monty Python did a great job on tackling this question in their movie. A Jack Palance in "City Slickers" also did a great job of explaining the meaning of life. I love the scene in the movie City Slickers where Billy Crystal's character, Mitch, is alone with Curly, played by Jack Palance. Curly is giving Mitch some life advice. Curly: Do you know what the secret of life is? [holds up one finger] This. Mitch: Your finger? Curly: One thing. Just one thing. You stick to that and the rest don't mean s***. Mitch: But, what is the "one thing?" Curly: That's what you have to find out.So, with this book, I must agree with Jack on this one. I feel that everyone will find what it is that they are looking for in this book, but no necessarily the same as the next person. David lays out a compelling argument here, but it will be up to the reader to decide for themselves. Regardless of the esoteric merits of the book, that can be debated till the cows come home, the collection of information here, put together in the manner that it is, that in itself makes this book a winner.
