Preface by Robert Butts

I'm more than happy to recommend Beyond The Physical, by Don DeGracia. I think his fine book is full of penetrating insights into those great yet personal questions about reality that we all have. Don covers a wide variety of subjects and emotions as he probes into our attempts to understand the illimitable mysteries of this marvelous universe that, I believe, we're all creating together, individually and jointly. His material ranges from a history of the occult to the latest in scientific discovery. In his own words, Don shows that "science and occultism are highly related in both methodology and content." Yet there are no dry, pedantic platitudes here. Beyond the Physical is an exceptionally lively and well-thought-out book for the layman and the scientist. Indeed, it reveals our insatiable curiosity as we wrestle endlessly with those profound questions of our existence: It's about our morality, our psychic nature and power, our science and art and literature and psychology. It's about much more too - But I can't do Beyond the Physical justice here, really. I can only note that Don guides us in most illuminating ways along highly creative paths of interior and exterior discovery. This book is an excellent inquiry.
