Ancient peoples understood that individual consciousness is rooted in a universal field of consciousness and is therefore eternal. Through their spiritual practices they developed a soul body, a vehicle that could carry consciousness beyond physical death and achieve "immortality."Ancient peoples the world over understood that individual consciousness is rooted in a universal field of consciousness and is therefore eternal, surviving the passing of the physical body. To make that transition as auspicious as possible, the Vedic, Egyptian, Hebraic, Pythagorean and other traditions developed spiritual practices which created a vehicle - a soul body - to carry consciousness beyond death. Mapping this practice in detail, Cox reveals how scientific advances such as wave and particle theory are finally awakening to this ancient science of immortality. 288 pp.
