HEALING THE RIFT: Bridging the Gap Between Science & Spirituality

As a scientist developing new drugs, Leo Kim felt helpless and frustrated as he watched cancer patients die. He embarked on a twenty-five year spiritual quest to understand human existence and what this world is all about. HEALING THE RIFT discovers that the conflicts between science and spirituality can be resolved with recent scientific discoveries, which reveal that our world is a blending of mind and spirit.

Science attempts to explain our world without a creator, spirit, or design. It constantly seeks new information with which to test and revise its theories.

Spirituality accepts that the most important aspects of our world are hidden beyond human comprehension. It labels this realm spirit, soul, and God. So, who is right? Are we simply a collection of cells that eventually becomes sick and die? Is there a plan for us? Science addresses the second question from a different perspective than spirituality, and it ignores the third question. Spirituality focuses on the third question, and it answers the question with an emphatic yes.

A poll conducted by Gallup in 2000 revealed that 90% of the people in the United States believe in a spiritual dimension. Yet, most of us also believe in science. These facts support the need for a work such as HEALING THE RIFT, which takes the reader through a metaphysical and scientific journey that explores where we came from, what we are, and the illusory nature of reality.

Leo Kim explains the science in simple terms with numerous entertaining examples, metaphors, and anecdotes. The chapters build to a climax when we learn how twenty-first-century science reveals a new emerging truth and how this truth is consistent with spirituality, an afterlife, and the potential human legacy. Modern science does support our spirituality—and the result is HEALING THE RIFT.
