In this ground-breaking work, Dr. Close goes beyond the question How can we explain consciousness in terms of matter? and asks instead, Can matter be explained in terms of consciousness? The results are astounding. Using unimpeachable scientific evidence and logic, the author provides proof of the absolute necessity of the existence of consciousness prior to the emergence of the first particle of the physical universe. Eliminating the conflicts between relativity and quantum mechanics, Transcendental Physics places them in perspective as progressive paradigm shifts leading out of the dead end of dialectic materialism and provides the necessary science for a sweeping shift to a consciousness-based reality paradigm. Transcendental Physics provides scientific proof of the existence of a non-quantum reality, a reality that both exceeds and incorporates physical materiality as a subset of Consciousness. Going beyond mere theory, Dr. Close completes this Herculean vision by providing, in an appendix, new mathematics derived from G. Spencer Brown's Laws of Form that allows consciousness to be incorporated into the equations of physics. In this book, a truly Transcendental Science capable of unifying the physical, biological, and psychological sciences with the search for spiritual truth in one consistent paradigm is born.
