The Science of Oneness: A World View for Our Age That Synthesises Science and Spirituality

The Science of Oneness weaves modern science together with experiential, spiritual and cultural knowledge. It presents a scientifically valid vision of reality that is conscious, creative, loving, and purposeful. It balances openness to all sources of knowledge with critical evaluation of their reliability. Each chapter offers experiential activities, thought-provoking questions and guided meditations to stimulate intuitive understanding. It provides a coherent world view for cultural creatives and the holism movement.

Malcolm Hollick, PhD, spent 25 years as an academic at The University of Western Australia. Amongst other achievements, he helped establish a new degree in Environmental Engineering, and the Indian Ocean Centre for Peace Studies. Throughout his career, his research was focused on the global issues of environmental destruction, poverty and war. He sought answers in many disciplines, including science and technology, law, economics, politics, policy-making and social psychology. And he contributed to several fields including water harvesting, technology and society, environmental impact assessment, environmental policy and law, water resource management, and peace studies.

In the 1990’s Malcolm became convinced that enduring change and a better future depend on individual transformation and the emergence of a new worldview based on a synthesis of science and spirituality. It was at this time that he began to study the findings of modern science and their influence on our worldview. It was also in this decade that he embarked on a journey of personal and spiritual development.

In 1997, Malcolm left academia to seek a life more consistent with his beliefs, and moved with his partner to the Findhorn Community and Ecovillage in Scotland. There, after 18 months in building maintenance and gardening, he became founding Principal of the holistic Findhorn Foundation College. He also became a member of the Steering Group for the project to establish a University for Spirit in Britain. In mid-2004, he resigned his position to concentrate on writing The Science of Oneness.

Malcolm’s other publications include an innovative text on project evaluation, a book on the contribution of ecovillages to sustainable development (co-authored with his partner Christine Connelly), a monograph on land conflict in Southeast Asia (co-edited with Catherine Iorns Magallanes), and numerous academic papers, research reports and media articles spanning several disciplines.
