Deepak and the Chopra Foundation have brought together some of the sharpest minds in modern science, philosophy and religion to find a bridge between the material and spiritual worlds. The fantastic success of modern science on the technological front has enabled human beings to shape raw materials (metals, ceramics, polymers, etc.) and achieve what would have been magic in earlier ages: machines that fly, computers to hold almost infinite data, and pills that make pain disappear.

Beyond us but in our midst. In “Sages and Scientists”, Deepak Chopra, Larry Dossey, G. Patrick Flanagan, Vladimir Voekov, Jim Tucker, Marilyn Schlitz, Marc Newkirk, Juliana Brooks Mortenson, Hans-Peter Duerr, Ervin Laszlo, Rustum Roy and Fred Alan Wolf talk about different ways that we can improve our lives, our souls, and our world.
