Dr. Casey Blood and the Nature of Man

TSS www.thesanctumsanctorum.com is pleased to announce a "first-ever-of-its-kind opportunity" to the Masonic community.

We Present Dr. Casey Blood and the Nature of Man

Dr. Casey Blood is a mathematical physicist and student-practitioner of Sufism. He is Professor Emeritus of Physics at Rutgers University and has done research in and published articles on quantum physics and has independently pursued an interest in prescience. He has studied Sufism for more than twenty years with teachers such as Pir Vilayat and Shahabuddin David Less. Dr. Blood lives in Florida with his wife Nurya.

Dr. Blood has published multiple books on the topic and both are available through the TSS bookstore.

This is a chance to the Masonic community to enter into collegiate level theoretical discussions concerning both science and mysticism and how it relates to our existence.

Dr. Casey Blood in his own words:

Thank you for the privilege of allowing me to “speak” on your web site. I am not a mason, but hope the ideas we will discuss will be in harmony with Masonic principles. These ideas are an expansion of a talk I gave at Enlightenment Lodge 198, Colorado Springs, in February 2009.

I would like to thank Cliff Porter for inviting me and for presenting this web opportunity.

The articles will be about the nature of awareness from the point of view of the neuroscientist, the physicist, and the mystic. But really, they are about the nature of human existence. I envision one article a week, 2 to 4 pages in length. No scientific background is required. Hopefully you will gain some understanding of:

How the brain works.

How much the brain determines our human nature. Quantum mechanics and how it tells us a good deal about the nature of the physical world.

What quantum mechanics is, how it shows us that the physical world is incomplete and that, to obtain agreement between quantum mechanics and what we perceive, we must each have a non-physical Mind.

An outline of the views of the mystics. The rich structure of the non-physical world.

Perhaps a little on meditation techniques in view of how the brain works and how the mystic sees existence.

And perhaps a little on the art of personality.

These ideas are also presented in my book, The Way from Science to Soul, but my thinking has progressed a little since the book was written, so the talks will be more up-to-date in the science areas.


Do not miss this opportunity and please share its availability with the Masonic community in your area.
