The technological and spiritual evolution of the human race is progressing very rapidly, writes MaAnna Stephenson in her landmark book The Sage Age: Blending Science with Intuitive Wisdom. The author's powerful achievement is her awareness of the interconnectedness, of the natural sciences and the human mind, leading to an emerging paradigm shift in scientific thought.

MaAnna Stephenson moves beyond New Age thinking about body harmonics and combines her intuitive analysis with hard scientific research and evidence. Instead of the usual polarization lack of discourse between the scientific community and the New Age practitioners, MaAnna Stephenson provides a bridge between the two modes of thought. The result is a synthesis of scientific reason with intuitive feeling. By traversing this seemingly infinite chasm, the book describes a new framework for science and for intuitive sensation.



MaAnna Stephenson (photo left) approaches the latest research in cutting edge sciences including string theory and chaos theory with relativity and quantum physics with an eye to understanding them in a holistic way. Rather than the compartmentalized thinking that has dominated science in recent years, the author provides steps toward bringing science to the personal level. By demonstrating how the body is in tune with the universe, using the language of physics, biology, and chemisty, MaAnna Stephenson develops her idea of the body as a finely tuned antenna.

For me, the power of the book is its groundbreaking combination of hard science with intuitive feeling. Like the long standing philosophical debate of mind and body unity, science and New Age thought have existed in separate realms. MaAnna Stephenson reunites science with both Eastern and Western philosophical schools, and then reconnects science with the inner self. She provides clear evidence that everything in the universe is part of its grandeur. The various scientific explanations and intuitive experiences are merely different approaches to the same age old puzzle.

I highly recommend The Sage Age: Blending Science with Intuitive Wisdom by MaAnna Stephenson, to anyone seeking answers beyond those provided by the separation of science, religion, or New Age thought. In this remarkable book, MaAnna Stephenson achieves a holistic reunion of the self, with its place in the universe, through education and understanding.

Read The Sage Age: Blending Science with Intuitive Wisdom by MaAnna Stephenson, and follow her thought from the body and the inner self to the formation of the universe with the Big Bang, and back again. The book carries you through every branch of scientific and intuitive thought, to reach across the bridge that separates these two solitudes, and unites them once again in the self.
