Peter Todd argues for the integration of science and religion to form a new paradigm for the third millennium. He counters both the arguments made by fundamentalist Christians against science and the rejection of religion by the New Atheists, in particular Richard Dawkins and his followers. Drawing on the work of scientists, psychologists, philosophers, and theologians, Todd challenges the materialistic reductionism of our age and offers an alternative grounded in the visionary work taking place in a wide array of disciplines. Peter B. Todd has been a research psychologist at the Neuropsychiatric Institute Sydney, a member of the Biopsychosocial AIDS Project at the University of California, a consultant in the department of immunology at St. Vincent’s Hospital, and a research coordinator at the Albion Street AIDS Clinic Sydney. His papers have appeared in the British Journal of Medical Psychology, the Griffith Review, and the interdisciplinary journal Mind and Matter. He is currently a psychoanalytic psychologist in private practice in Sydney, Australia.

Review Kudos to Peter B. Todd for this masterful contribution which will undoubtedly advance the dialogue between the scientific disciplines and theology. Drawing upon the work of scientific thinkers such as Schrodinger, Heisenberg, Huxley, Pauli, Einstein, Pribram, and Bohm on the one hand and theologians such as Teilhard de Chardin and Hans Kung on the other, Todd asserts that Dawkins's "God delusion" refers to a passe, naive conception of an anthropomorphic God who created a pre-Copernican clockwork universe. By contrast, Todd points the way to a scientifically illuminated theology. He pulls from such diverse fields as neuropsychoanalysis, quantum physics, Jungian thought, and transpersonal psychology to develop a higher-order understanding of evolution that embraces the complementarity of mind and matter and is bound by neither time nor space. It is a vision of evolution that honors consciousness, the archetypal, and the numinous as fundamental. It is difficult to do full justice to the philosophical sophistication and precision Todd brings to this subject. Readers should brace themselves for an intellectually challenging and exciting journey foreshadowing a paradigm shift in which the conceptual boundaries between science, theology, and psyche are smashed. --David Van Nuys, Ph.D., professor emeritus, Sonoma State University, and host of Shrink Rap Radio PodcastThis book is the work of a religious thinker and an experienced psychologist who has immersed himself in the writings of Carl Jung and sciences of our age. This is not a theological book; rather, it is an expression of depth psychology, of divine experience, what Todd calls an "epiphany to the human consciousness . . . a God from within evolving matter itself," where matter matters and God is an expression of the human mind. Todd helps us engage with our experience of God as the unconscious archetype. A first-class example of what Jung spent most of his life doing, namely, restoring meaning to symbols as expressions of the human condition, it is as erudite as it is joyous, in short, a work of love and purpose. --David B. Russell, Ph.D.Science and religion are still viewed as enemies by the popular mind, but as Peter Todd eloquently shows, the gap between them is rapidly closing. Todd writes clearly and persuasively with considerable knowledge of both camps. Jung was intent on reconciling science and religion through psychology, a project which met with widespread misunderstanding. Todd throws light on this endeavor and shows us the one world that can be glimpsed beyond the separate modalities of faith and reason. The Individuation of God represents a significant cultural fusion of scientific research and religious vision. --David Tacey, Ph.D., author of How to Read Jung and Edge of the Sacred: Jung, Psyche, EarthThis book is the work of a religious thinker and an experienced psychologist who has immersed himself in the writings of Carl Jung and sciences of our age.

Countering Dawkins and the neo-atheists By William I had always been interested in the possibility of integrating science and religion as complementary to one another.Much as mind and matter are conceptualised by depth psychologist Carl Jung and physicist Wolfgang Pauli. Physicist David Bohm had expressed analogous ideas in elucidating his "implicate order". I was delighted to read that the Jungian archetypes and active quantum information provided compelling solutions to the psychophysical problem while opening up innovative ways of conceptualising the numinous (God-Image) as implicit to the evolutionary process.This means a paradigm shift in neo-Darwinian evolutionary biology which was unable to explain mind in its conscious and unconscious aspects or such phenomena as adaptive and directed mutation and the directional fine tuning of immunity through evolutionary time.The book is intended for those of all faith traditions and for those seeking a theology and spirituality compatible with the evolution of culture, science and religion whose faith on traditional religion may have waned.Particularly as a result of Richard Dawkins derision of all religion in his influential book "The God Delusion".I think that the book is an exhilarating journey, advancing the ongoing dialogue between the scientific disciplines and theology. Todd has located God within the heart of matter rather than the outmoded pre-Copernican,external,interventionist designer of a mechanistic clockwork universe and I would love to see him in a debate with Dawkins and his neo-atheist followers!The link to an excellent review by Leonard Cruz MD posted on the Asheville Jung Center site is: [...]

Is time ultimately real? ...and therefore is the world ultimately real?What then is unchanging and outside of time and space? Quantum and holographic research ideas are considered and applied.Peter Todd's NDE was no doubt a turning point in his life and understanding.A little difficult to read at first due to the scientific and depth psychology words and phrases but with a little perseverance it became enjoyable.Not only does it demolish Dawkin's superficial understanding but shows it for what it is!
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Excellent Content, Complex writing style By Gregory Boyce In my opinion there are two aspects to a book review: content and writing style. I give the content of this book 5 stars for its content. I give the writing style a 1 star - and thus an average of 3. Here's what I say about each aspect.Content: Like other reviewers, I found the frequent reference to Dawkins a bit tedious, I was appreciative however that it set a context in which the author could present and expand his ideas. I had read elsewhere (maybe David Spangler) the notion of individuation of humans as a species and was interested in reading more. For me as a psychotherapist involved in the individual process, the material focused on species individuation was the best content of the book. If you're at all interested in personal growth, psyche/soul, consciousness or levels thereof, this would be a good source of content.Style: For those of you who have been in graduate school where a thesis was required, you might well recognize this book by its academic style. While very impressive in that regard, it's harder sledding as a 'readable' book. Rather than say more I'll quote a typical sentence. You be the judge if you want to read another 160 pages just like it. I relaxed and took my time parsing each sentence because I like the content so much. Here it is.The death of God is to be justified and hastened by emotive rhetoric about ecclesiastical scandals, the association of religion with superstition and intellectual stupefaction, and, where expedient, arguments that selectively distort the positions of some of the greatest names in science, including Erwin Schrodinger and C. G. Jung, while ignoring the self-acknowledged mysticism of others, such as Alfred Russel Wallace, for instance, who perceived the anomaly of mind in evolution as an issue that could not be simply dismissed.
