Our books address the notion that human suffering will always exist as long as superiority persists. We must recognize that we are selfless. Our human experience is without meaning or unworthy of analysis until we mindfully recognize what it means to be grateful for our well-being, to be happy, or until we question why we habitually inflict unhappiness on each other, where the seedbed of loathing, opprobrium, and odium resides.

In 1996, physicist, Alan Sokal published an essay in Social Text-an influential academic journal of cultural studies-touting the deep similarities between quantum gravitational theory and postmodern philosophy.

Establishment scientists are trying to tell us that there is no reality beyond the physical. They have not proved this scientifically, so they resort to unscientific methods such as ridicule and power politics to force this assertion upon the academic community. Academic people who take an interest in the psychic or the spiritual are shunned by their colleagues and denied publication, funding, and employment. Even psychology has been steered away...
