Sutapas Bhattacharya

I am the man who, in 1994, identified the physical correlate of the Divine Light (a.k.a. Godhead, Pure Consciousness, Stream of Consciousness, Atman, Buddha Nature, Sofia (Cosmic Light of Wisdom), Holy Spirit, Al Haqq, the Fount of all Wisdom, the Fountain of the Water of Life, the Holy Grail etc.) with the brainwaves from the brainstem Reticular Formation known as the Reticular Activating System. At a stroke, this amazing discovery undermines both the Physicalist-Materialist ontology underlying Science (which imagines Consciousness to be a latecomer in material evolution) and the Theistic mythology of nearly all religions (except Nondualist forms of Hinduism and Buddhism) which imagine a man-like God distinct from Nature and Humanity. It also resolves definitively the central problem of most Eastern philosophies (i.e. the actual meaning and significance of Mystical Union or Moksa/Nirvana) and the misleadingly labelled 'Mind/Body Problem' - actually the relationship between Consciousness and Matter - which is central to modern Western Philosophy.

I am the author of 'The Oneness/Otherness Mystery: The Synthesis of Science and Mysticism' published in 1999 by India's top scholarly Philosophy publisher, Motilal Banarsidass. I showed how Consciousness and anamalous phenomena (inexplicable to Physicalist-Materialist Science) such as Creativity, Insight, Paranormal Psychical Abilities, Mind-Body Interactions and Past-Life Memories could be integrated with Physicalist Science in the Bigger, Deeper Transcendentalist metaphysics of Indian Yogic Mysticism (Vedanta-Tantra) in which Pure Consciousness is the Ultimate Formless Reallity and all phenomena (physical and psychic) manifest as its energetic vibrations. This book received remarkable plaudits from scholars worldwide who were familiar with Science-Mysticism interrelationships. On page 3 of my website www.Sutapas.com a list of quotes from such scholars is viewable. This work also excited M.K. Kaw, the Indian Union Minister of Education in 2000 who had himself called for a scientific understanding of Spirituality in a little book he had published.

From 2006 to 2014, I researched and wrote my new, much revised and updated presentation of my Science-Mysticism Synthesis ideas entitled 'The Brainstem Brainwaves of Atman-Brahman: The Synthesis of Science and Spirituality'. This book, printed in two volumes by Gyan Books, New Delhi has just been published (2015) and full page adverts have appeared in Indian Science magazines such as Scientific India and Popular Science (Indian Edn). The advert can be viewed on the back cover of the Jan-Feb 2015 issue of Scientific India, viewable on their website Preview. For further information, see www.Sutapas.com
