Founder and President of The Club of Budapest, author of Science and the Akashic Field: An Integral Theory of Everything
"John Spencer's Eternal Law is the best exposition I have ever read of the genuine foundations of contemporary science in timeless philosophy. Should be read by every philosopher, and person interested in science and in philosophy, who questions the reality and the wholeness of the world investigated by contemporary science." - 2015
Emeritus Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics, Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford, author of The Road to Reality
"I found John Spencer's "The Eternal Law" to be enormously refreshing; for here we have someone willing to speak out forcefully in favour of Platonic ideals lying at the roots of modern science."

Professor of Particle Physics, University of Delaware, author of Modern Physics and Ancient Faith
"This book gives a spirited defence of the continuing importance of Platonic philosophy. The author shows how Pythagorean and Platonic ideas influenced the thinking of the creators of modern science, from Kepler in the seventeenth century to the founders of quantum mechanics in the twentieth."
Distinguished Professor of Physical Chemistry (emeritus), University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, author of Infinite Potential: What Quantum Physics Reveals About How We Should Live
"The new physics has revealed a congruence of the mental and the physical and of the spiritual and the rational, which is so difficult to accept that it amounts to a metamorphosis of our consciousness. In this process John Spencer's book is a much needed guide that explains challenging concepts of physics and philosophy in a competent, inspired and easily understandable way. "The Eternal Law" will be of immense value to teachers in both the sciences and the humanities, and to everybody who wants to live with an enlightened understanding of the world."
Regius Professor of Greek (Emeritus), Trinity College Dublin, author of The Middle Platonists: 80 B.C. to A.D. 220
"This is an exciting and thought-provoking book from a young scholar whose base is in the philosophical foundations of quantum physics, but who has gone on as well to master the whole philosophical tradition, particularly that of Platonism, to bring us a wide-ranging study of the parameters of reality. All of us can learn from it."
Professor of Transpersonal Psychology at Liverpool John Moores University (retired), former Chair of the Transpersonal Psychology Section of the British Psychological Society, President of the International Transpersonal Association, author of Approaches to Consciousness: the Marriage of Science and Mysticism
"Spencer takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the terrain where quantum physics, mysticism and philosophy meet. Profound challenges are addressed in highly accessible ways, and Spencer guides the reader through the complexities of his topic with remarkable clarity. This is a work for the interested general reader who wants to understand how ancient philosophical ideas resonate with the latest discoveries in science. Spencer's vision enlivens the human quest to find meaning and purpose in our world. A highly accessible, informative and profoundly stimulating book."
Ministry of Justice, UK
"I can honestly say "I love this book". It appealed to both the scientist and the philosopher in me, and should be compulsory reading for anyone who thinks they know anything."
Professor of Mathematical Physics, Cambridge University, author of Hidden Unity in Nature's Laws
"You need not agree with everything Spencer says in order to benefit from this readable, lively and thought-provoking book."
Chairman of the Prometheus Trust, author of The Seven Myths of the Soul
"The poison of anti-realism has been dripped into the ear of modern humanity for too long, bringing with it a curious fever of body and lethargy of mind: ''The Eternal Law' is an antidote of the finest potency. The author exposes the fatal contradiction at the heart of anti-realism with such ruthless clarity that I strongly suspect anyone trying to defend it after this will only succeed in further demonstrating its absurdity."
Professor of Philosophy, Golden West College (retired), Korean Buddhist Dharma Successor, co-author of Philosophical Midwifery: A New Paradigm for Understanding Human Problems With Its Validation
"Reading his work is, at first, like listening-in on conversations with the major thinkers of philosophy and Quantum physics discussing the significance of this new and dramatic turn in science and then coming to realize that you are being lead to the surprising realization that, indeed, every recourse to systems of philosophy rather than the Platonic system will lack the scope and precision necessary to understand the depth of this profound Quantum turn in science."
Department of Philosophy, Saint Mary's University
"John Spencer's THE ETERNAL LAW offers a spirited challenge to the claims and widespread influence of anti-realism, insisting on key connections between modern physics and ancient philosophy, particularly Platonism, while reminding us that the theoretical and metaphysical foundations of physics have always aimed at unity, simplicity and beauty. Accessible to non-specialists, this richly interdisciplinary book remains highly relevant to philosophers, classicists, physicists, and historians of science."
Neuroscientist currently affiliated with the Department of Psychology, University of Arizona, author of Brain Wars
"An important contribution to the philosophical and scientific exploration of the concept of reality."
Research Engineer, Institut Lumière Matière (UCBL-CNRS), Université de Lyon
"The Eternal Law is comprehensible to a general reader who is not well read in philosophy or in the subtle nuances of cutting edge theoretical physics. As an experimental scientist, I found it to be a real eye-opener regarding the misunderstandings and misinterpretations of modern physics that persist among various academic disciplines."
History of Science and Technology Programme, University of King's College
"This robust defence of ancient thought, objective truth and metaphysical realism also provides along the way a most valuable education in philosophy, philosophy of science and the history of science. Whether or not they agree with the author's conclusions, specialists and non-specialists alike will be rewarded by engaging with this important and wonderfully interdisciplinary book."
Retired Professor of French Studies, Dalhousie University
"…Spencer's book is situated at the intersection of science, ancient philosophy and spirituality….[He] conjoins Platonism and Neo-Platonism with quantum physics in order to demonstrate that many of the great scientific luminaries throughout history and up through Einstein, Bohr, Gödel, Heisenberg, Schrodinger and others were deeply indebted to Plato's One Truth as the explanatory hierarchy underlying all being. Spencer has a remarkable command of three vast disciplines which he delivers to the reader with stunning clarity….I am grateful for this journey he has taken me on and I encourage readers to follow the same path."
Department of Philosophy, University of Liverpool
"Essential reading for anyone engaged with modern science or late antique philosophy – and also anyone who wishes a better personal understanding of reality."
Department of Physics, University of Liverpool (retired)
"Reading this work helped me to understand physics better."
Cardiff School of English, Communication and Philosophy, Cardiff University
"Highly distinctive…original…intellectually committed…should do much to shake and dislodge these complacently orthodox habits of mind [in academic philosophy]."
Department of Physics, University of Liverpool
"Will be of direct interest to scientists who want to engage with fundamental issues, as well as to philosophers…original and incisive, and notable for its clear presentation of difficult issues."
Lecturer in the Philosophy of Religion, University of Bristol
"Highly provocative…original…sure to stir up very lively debate."

Author of Connecting with Coincidence
"Gary Schwartz is the Master of Serial Coincidences....At the start of this energetic book, he demolishes the statisticians’ favorite explanation for coincidences: the Law of Very Large Numbers. He then encourages all of us to become self-scientists to test for ourselves the reality of serial coincidences the most grand of which he calls “supersynchronicities”. In a mind-expanding ending, he urges us to see that synchronicities alert us to the mysterious hiding in plain sight—the Greater Mind in its many variations. Dr. Schwartz has made a major contribution to the study of coincidences."
Author of the New York Times bestseller Healing Words: The Power of Prayer and the Practice of Medicine
"...Super Synchronicity is a valuable contribution that affirms what most of us experience from time to time—that beyond our individual minds lies an infinite reality in which consciousness is fundamental and unitary. On this realization our future as humans may depend...As Gary Schwartz shows in Super Synchronicity, Nature is multilingual, and one of its dialects is synchronicities. The message? Intelligence, meaning, and connectedness are intrinsic features of life itself. Super Synchronicity is an extension of science, not a refutation. It is a refreshing antidote to the suffocating, deadening effects of the ideology of materialism in our time. Beautifully done, Gary, congratulations."
Neurosurgeon, author of Proof of Heaven and The Map of Heaven
"In the exciting emergence of the more mature science that is eliminating the paltry fiction of pure scientific materialism, Dr. Gary Schwartz has provided a pivotal work that strikes right at the heart of the old world view, by illuminating the reality of synchronicities in all of our lives. Written in a wonderfully personal style, Dr. Schwartz's Super Synchronicity offers all of the tools one needs to perform their own investigations into how we are all part of the One Mind, offering great meaning and purpose to our existence."
Clinical Professor of Medicine and Professor of Public Health, University of California School of Medicine (UCSF), San Francisco, and University of Arizona School of Medicine, author of Mind as Healer - Mind as Slayer, Sound Mind - Sound Body, and New Medicine
"According to CG Jung, synchronicity is an "acausal connecting principle" which is the underlying mechanism by which our reality actually works. For over 40 years I have admired the sheer genius of Dr. Gary Schwartz to bring rigorous science to bear on such formidable issues. As both a scientist and visionary, he has achieved major insights into the nature of the mind and reality with his new breakthrough research and writing … Bravo!"
Navin and Pratima Doshi Professor, California Institute of Integral Studies, author of Consciousness Explained Better
"What a delightful nest of synchronicities we are served here. Synchronicities, multiple-synchronicities, supersynchronicities, and more! Professor Schwartz does with numbers what physicist and colleague of Carl Jung, Wolfgang Pauli, did with puns. Brings warm memories of John Barth’s wonderful stories, Lost in the Funhouse."
Chief Scientist, Institute of Noetic Sciences, author of The Consciousness Universe and Supernormal
"What is the meaning of those meaningful coincidences called synchronicities? Super Synchronicity explores this question in detail through a series of increasingly striking examples, and then proposes a thought provoking set of explanations. Written in Schwartz's clear and entertaining style, this book will make your head spin, in a good way."
Author of The 8 Laws of Change, Opening to the Infinite
"As a person whose own life has been profoundly shaped by what Gary Schwartz calls “supersynchronicities” I know how powerful these experiences can be. Gary has written an excellent and very helpful book about understanding these meaningful coincidences, and it contains real insight and wisdom."
Founder and President of The Club of Budapest, author of Science and the Akashic Field: An Integral Theory of Everything
"Gary Schwartz has written a book that is both entertaining and highly significant. It addresses the question whether synchronicity is just a chance event—or something real and meaningful. It is the latter. We should be grateful to Gary for bringing together all these shining examples that testify to it—we live in a non-chance, meaningful, and truly interconnected—and therefore truly synchronicity-filled—universe."
Former Navy Commander, evidential medium, and author of Messages of Hope and Wolf's Message
"Dr. Gary Schwartz has done it again: helped us to appreciate the wonder of the Universe while keeping us grounded with scientific methods. Super Synchronicity serves as a primer for noticing and appreciating the signs of our innate interconnectedness. This magical book holds the keys to finding that connection within ourselves and ultimately coming to the realization that their is only one Self. Bravo to Dr. Schwartz for this gift of a book."
Author of The Fun of Dying, and host of Seeking Reality with Roberta Grimes
"...Studying synchronicities is a project of the heart for Dr. Schwartz. His delight in it shows in this extraordinary book....Synchronicities happen to all of us, so we seldom ever realize how statistically unlikely they are; but to those who study them, their frequency and the odds against their happening by chance are strong indications that something big is going on. Part of the delight of Dr. Schwartz’s book is his documentation of supersynchronicity chains that include as many as two dozen events and had me laughing aloud; but what I most enjoyed was his penetrating analysis of what synchronicities mean, and why they happen. God is winking at all of us! And thanks to another beautiful and groundbreaking book from Dr. Gary Schwartz, now we can joyfully wink right back."
Former Senior VP of Creative, Warner Chappell Music, author of The Songwriter's Survival Guide
"Dr. Gary Schwartz kept me thoroughly entertained in his new book, Super Synchronicity. His personal stories remind us that being conscious of who we are and of our surroundings can bring us amazing gifts, such as synchronicity."
Author of Soul Proof, The Eleven Questions, and Radiant Wellness; Director and Co-Founder of The SoulPhone Foundation
"If we stay alert, we can sometimes catch God at play/work and see more of the delightful "big picture." Dr. Schwartz's fascinating book has added supersynchronicities to my list of evidence-based signs that our earth-experiences are interconnected, meaningful, and magnificent adventures amidst eternity."
Author of the New York Times bestseller Healing Words: The Power of Prayer and the Practice of Medicine
"The question of the survival of bodily death is one of the most important issues humans face. Rhonda Eklund Schwartz’s passionate descriptions offer hope and encouragement, for they add to the growing evidence that immortality is a fact."
Host of The Laura Lee Show
"During my long friendship with Rhonda, I have had the pleasure of meeting her mother and seeing how close they were. As her extraordinary experiences unfolded, Rhonda shared some of her stories and showed me her extensive volumes of notes. In telling the complete story in her book, she throws light on what has long been her quest: to better understand the mysteries of life and beyond."
Best-selling author of Return to the Sacred and Inspiration Deficit Disorder, and Executive Director of the Althea Center for Engaged Spirituality
"This is a deeply touching, compelling, and important book. More than beautiful answers and insights, Rhonda has gifted us with a glimpse into a truly miraculous story that is sure to heal and inspire."
Host of Crossing Over with John Edward
"I'm always excited when Science and Spirituality join forces to show that the bonds of love between the physical world and the spirit world exist in the same space. This book explores both in a real way, exploring ideas of chance, coincidence, belief, synchronicity, and love."
Academy Award nominated film composer for: The Passion of the Christ, Dragonfly, Evan Almighty
"This is a book about those moments, both large and small, that further our conviction that the soul is eternal…Enjoy what we call those “Dragonfly Moments” of love and synchronicity."

"This is a book about those moments, both large and small, that further our conviction that the soul is eternal…Enjoy what we call those “Dragonfly Moments” of love and synchronicity."
Author of My Life after Death and My Son and the Afterlife, founder of the blog Channeling Erik
"In Love Eternal, Rhonda Schwartz demonstrates her consummate skill as a weaver of stories keeping the reader captivated as she makes her touching case that there is life after death, that our relationships with our deceased loved ones can and must continue, that there is no true loss and that love knows no boundaries, even death. Together with her husband, Dr. Gary Schwartz, she is blazing the path to build a bridge between science and spirituality so that the new paradigm for consciousness survival will be as it should be, a self-evident, absolute truth."
Author of The 8 Laws of Change, Opening to the Infinite
"An increasing number of scientists and physicians are doing research that confronts them with a profoundly radical challenge to the physicialist paradigm; suggesting instead that spacetime itself, arises from consciousness not consciousness from material physiology. At the personal level this new research proposes a continuity of life; that consciousness pre-exists physical birth, and continues after corporeal death. Rhonda Eklund Schwartz's Love Eternal is a gentle passionate examination of the implications of this emerging new worldview."
Author of The Fun of Dying, and host of Seeking Reality with Roberta Grimes
"Rhonda Schwartz's beautiful journey is a testament to the triumph of love in a reality that never ends. Soon after the death of her mother, to whom she had been very close, Rhonda began to get spectacular signs that included information that only her mother could have known. She was fascinated, and she wanted reassurance that the mother she loved was still alive, so she began a very personal pursuit of the facts about life after death....Rhonda’s story is a light and beautiful page-turner, a hymn of love to her mother and her husband, and a source of reassurance and joy for anyone who still is not certain that the dead survive."
Medium, radio and TV host, and author of Everything Happens for a Reason
"Love never dies: The most important message we all need to know. Rhonda Eklund Schwartz has not only proven that love continues on and on, but lives that message each day. The love for her mother sent her on a journey that we all would love to embrace....No one is more passionate or dedicated than Rhonda in truly knowing that even with physical death, love never dies. Sharing her journey in her book, Love Eternal, will touch anyone's heart who wants to open that door."
Psychotherapist, radio host of Doctor on Call, and author of The Afterlife Connection
"In her book, Love Eternal, Rhonda Eklund Schwartz captures the exquisite magnificence of the afterlife connection she shares with her mother that is testimony to the power of eternal love. The wonder and marvel of her mother’s presence in her life is a dynamic affirmation of the everlasting bond between them. It is an inspiring and tender story - an elixir for the heart of anyone who has lost a loved one, to know that they remain with you in spirit."
