Cox Robert E.. Creating the Soul Body: The Sacred Science of Immortality. Inner Traditions,2008. — 288 p.. 2008

This book is devoted to a reevaluation of ancient systems of religious-mythological thought and their relevance to our modern systems of scientific thought. Throughout this book runs this theme: The ancients were much more intelligent than we have supposed them to be. In particular, the chapters that follow propose that many ancient cultures once shared a genuine spiritual science, a science of consciousness, which in certain ways rivals and even surpasses the most advanced physical theories of today. In this volume we will focus upon a particular aspect of the ancient science dealing with the path of immortality—the step-by-step expansion of consciousness throughout the universe and even beyond the universe into the bosom of the infinite. In the process, we will see that the ancient Vedic, Egyptian, and Hebrew traditions shared a common map of this path, which, though expressed in arcane symbolic terms unique to each culture, was and is genuinely scientific. More specifically, we will see that this map can be reduced to an exponential system of space-time scales, both macroscopic and microscopic, which can be used to predict accurately the most fundamental scales of cosmological organization discovered so far on the basis of general relativity, as well as the most fundamental scales of force-matter unification discovered so far on the basis of quantum theory.
