Yoga Psychology
seeing through the eyes of Infinity
Many these days are searching for a sense of who they are that is more noble and more inspiring. "Yoga Psychology and the Transformation of Consciousness" brings together Western science and the Indian yogic tradition to tell the extraordinary story of the evolution of consciousness in the universe. It is a story that offers a rich understanding of who we are, how we got to be this way, and what we can become.
Eco-theologian Thomas Berry and physicist Brianne Swimme, inspired by Teilhard de Chardin, have written extensively on what they've called “The New Story” - the 13 billion year story of how matter and life evolved, as portrayed by modern science. Berry believes this “new” story is powerful enough to replace the ancient creation

myths in providing the modern world with a sense of inspiration and meaning.
“Yoga Psychology and the Transformation of Consciousness”, based on the evolutionary vision of Sri Aurobindo, offers a kind of “new” New Story, which in a way is the most ancient story – one offering a radical integration of science and spirituality. The story told by yoga psychology in no way conflicts with the findings of modern science, yet it challenges many of the basic assumptions about who we are and what the universe is,. We believe, that when considered in full with all its implications, it is a story with the power to transform our lives and the societies in which we live.
The book comes with a CD which contains guided meditations and reflections on the main themes of the book, all accompanied by music composed by Don Salmon. The simplicity of the meditative exercises on the CD provides an experiential basis for understanding the story of the evolution of consciousness in the universe which is described in the book.
