by J. Thomas Devins (Author)

In this exploration, J. Thomas Devins connects three controversial religious topics (Jesus's resurrection, Shroud of Turin and rainbow body) using their common denominator, the science of the atom. As weird, preposterous and outrageous as it sounds, we each have the capacity to dissolve our body into its atomic parts. That which happened to Jesus on the first Easter Sunday is within the capability of each human being that is willing to follow a structured, disciplined mind training lifestyle. Thousands of practitioners, mostly Tibetan Buddhists, have gracefully exited the planet, like Jesus, without leaving a corpse behind, even in modern times. The human body is but proxy for the human mind. The book is transformational for the reader and a major wakeup call to science and religion. 1) It replaces the notion of a transcendent God with the workings of the human mind. 2) Abrahamic religions, particularly Christianity, must rethink their foundational doctrines. The words of Genesis 3:19, "...to dust you shall return" can't be universally applied. 3) Mainstream science must end its negative bias against the paranormal in its rigid methods of inquiry. The book brings the known paranormal experience that is frequently demonstrated in the laboratory by fringe science into the light of the real world. 4) The book elevates the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas into prominence. Thomas is the only Gospel that accounts for the resurrection/rainbow body phenomenon and the role of the mind. Connecting the dots, Devins concludes that we are all here, on the planet, because we intend to be here. It is in this knowledge we find the reality of reincarnation and the law of karma; sticky issues which religion and science also need to address. A lifelong Catholic, scientifically educated, and graduate of the school of hard knocks, Devins concludes that the book's revelations will be largely ignored by religion and science. Religion because it is too heavily invested in the biblical notion of death to change. Science because of its engrained attitude against the paranormal. Timely change, if it is to happen, must come from a fiery, renewed attitude of truth seeking that initiates in the Sunday morning pew.

Author Biography

J. Thomas Devins applies his experience and expertise as a chemical engineer and businessman to the realm of the spiritual and mystical. After caring for his terminally ill wife, Devins had mystical experiences that piqued his interest in death traditions and the afterlife. He devoted eight years to studying Jesus's resurrection, the Shroud of Turin, and Eastern death traditions. He came away from his research with new, important insight into life and death.
