Special Commentary by Ken Wilber

About the Book

The Final Frontier for Science

Contrary to popular belief, not all scientists are materialists fervently discounting the spiritual. Science, Being, & Becoming shares interviews with some of the world’s foremost scientists who recount their own transpersonal, metaphysical, and mystical experiences and how those experiences transformed them and their scientific work.

This groundbreaking book makes it evident that the long-standing divide between science and spirituality has not served us well and in fact continues to have significant adverse consequences for us all. Fortunately, many scientists no longer recognize that divide and are helping science to now fulfill its intended promise to discover and understand all of life, including our deep spiritual nature. The stories in this book help us understand that the spiritual is the final frontier for science.

The book also contains special bonus Spotlight sections written by Drs. Eben Alexander, Robert Atkinson, Dusana Dorjee, and Kyriacos C. Markides.

Advance Praise

Science, Being, & Becoming reminds us that some scientists, perhaps many, have had the same kinds of profound psychic, mystical, and spiritual experiences that people have reported throughout history… Books like this are dissolving old constraints, and in the process whole new realms of reality are poised to emerge. A delightful and inspiring book.

— Dean Radin Ph.D., Institute of Noetic Sciences, and author, Real Magic

Professor Mills is a shining example of a rigorous scientist and classic mystic, whose mind and heart are dedicated to the pursuit of both objective knowledge and subjective wisdom. This book tells the stories of scientists and scholars who walk the line between science and spirit, weaving them together into a beautiful tapestry that should validate the personal experiences of many more.

— Cassandra Vieten, Ph.D., Arthur C. Clarke Center for Human Imagination, University of California, San Diego

In this much needed work, Professor Paul Mills provides an intimate and personal view into the spiritual lives of scientists. In the midst of these rapidly changing times, their stories of inspiration, dedication, and struggle can encourage and steady each of us along the path.

— Thomas Liu, Ph.D., Center for Functional MRI, University of California, San Diego

Robert Atkinson

Foreword by Jean Houston 

Afterword by Deepak Chopra M. D.

About the Book

Discover an Inner Pattern for Living into Wholeness

Synthesizing his work in personal mythmaking, soul-making, and storytelling, award-winning author Robert Atkinson draws from mythology, mysticism, rites of passage, and psychology to identify a pattern within our unconscious that guides our evolving consciousness, transforms our lives, keeps our focus on the wholeness of all things, and keeps humanity on its evolutionary trajectory.

In bringing all the paths to wholeness back together as one, this pioneering, practical, and easy to use experiential guide provides the context, framework, and the reflective writing exercises needed for telling our stories of wholeness. In doing so, we connect the human family, one story at a time.

Advance Praise

A New Story of Wholeness asserts itself among the great texts on spiritual evolution and Unity consciousness, allowing us to create and share a new narrative grounded in love, harmony, and interconnection.  Study this guide. Your new life awaits you. 

— Michael Bernard Beckwith,founder & CEO, Agape International Spiritual Center

Dr. Robert Atkinson’s wonder-full synthesis and eminently practical wisdom is a marvellously valuable companion and guide for these transformational times. He describes ‘an interspiritual path that is a superhighway for everyone’ on our collective journey of homecoming.

— Jude Currivan PhD, author of The Cosmic Hologram and The Story of GAIA 

A New Story of Wholeness is a gem offering superbly lucid and wise guidance for the journey from fragmentation to optimal coherence and richly fulfilling wholeness. It is a journey that we all must take if we are to thrive in dangerous times.  

— James O’Dea, author of Soul Awakening Practice 

Written with great love, this gentle excursion into the sacred emphasizes what all spiritual teachings express — that higher consciousness brings a realization of unity that can heal our world. A true manifesto for the spiritual awakening so needed in these times.

— Anodea Judith PhD, author of The Global Heart Awakens

Nautilus Award Winner

Elena Mustakova

Foreword by Ken Wilber, founder The Integral Vision

Afterword by Claudia Welss, Chairman, Institute of Noetic Sciences

From the Foreword

The “Big Wholeness,” which Mustakova writes about, is a Wholeness that includes, or is aware of, all the other types of genuine Wholeness, which makes it a cross‑paradigmatic, multi‑exemplar integration. Through real-life experiences, as well as national and global processes, this book reveals how the different types of wholeness can weave together into Global Unitive Healing.

About the Book

Global Unitive Healing introduces a practical healing methodology for lives and nations in an ailing world. This book masterfully awakens us to collective authenticity and a unifying language of the heart for a diverse and interdependent humanity. Step by step, Dr. Elena Mustakova weaves a path toward grasping an emergent interconnected, cooperative, prosocial world informed by the way of unity – a mid-19th century evolutionary leap of consciousness, which integrates Eastern and Western spiritual thought.

Advance Praise

“Dr. Elena Mustakova addresses the real problem of the fragmented human psyche largely influenced by a materialist reductionism. If our human evolution is to be sustained it must experience a new truth, a new ontology of the integration of body, mind, soul and spirit from the
heart and not by the dictums of science alone! She carefully constructs ways of how an integration of science and spirituality, focusing on deep compassion, can help lead the entirety of humanity into personal, communal and societal unity. This book is a must for young futurists and
its message is key for all those who seek to work within a greater spirit of harmony.”

—Drs. J.J. and Desiree Hurtak, Social scientists and Futurists
Co-founders of The Academy for Future Science NGO


Inspiringly weaving together so many diverse elements of transformation and healing, Global Unitive Healing is an important and timely contribution toward our planet’s currently emerging holistic and cosmopolitan worldview. Each year World UNITY Week features a vast array of similarly aimed thematic initiatives and events. We welcome a book like Global Unitive Healing that so clearly lays out the history and foundations of this emerging global movement.”

—Ben Bowler (Unity Earth) and Jon Ramer (SINE Network) of World Unity Week

Dr. Mustakova takes us on a journey of transformational discovery: from the Imperial Self to Ego-Transcendence, from Spiritual Awakening to Planetary Cultural Shift, and ultimately to find our unique role in creating a global community that moves from ME to WE Consciousness and makes possible the collective healing that could be 21st century humanity’s greatest legacy. Global Unitive Healingprovides our essential guide for this journey of the Heart, Mind and Spirit.

—Rick Ulfik, Founder of We, The World and WE.net
