"As you read this sentence, millions of cosmic rays, streaming in from the stars, are passing right through your eyes, your head, your torso, every limb - your whole body. So how come we think we are solid? And, for that matter, how come we can think at all? Three separate fields of knowledge acquisition, science, philosophy and religion, have worked incessantly for centuries to bring us answers to these questions and many more. But what is the value of the knowledge that we have acquired? Knowledge is power, but despite humankind being awash with information, more and more people feel powerless. What is going on? Is this the way it should be or is there something amiss?
"This book is an attempt to draw back a veil of broad assumptions and long-held concepts in order to reveal something other. It is a journey and, at first, the issues tackled are so basic, so universal, that many may wonder, “Why is he telling me this?”, “Where are we headed?” I offer you this enticement: There may be nothing new under the sun but this does not mean that we cannot see something for the first time: therein lies hope for The Beautiful Union."
From this introduction, natural philosopher, P H Ellson, begins a journey through science, philosophy and religion to the furthest reaches of human knowledge. He uses decades of personal experience and study to firstly break down almost every core assumption that we hold and then, using in-depth scientific research, builds a new perspective; a new vision of learning where science, philosophy and religion are brought together in The Beautiful Union.
Along the way, Ellson questions our assumptions about reality, objectivity and intelligence and cuts through centuries of spin and half-truths to reveal the basis of quantum phenomena, homeopathy, psychism and more. He resolves the Creationist/Darwinist argument and ‘the problem of consciousness’ and gives an example of scientific interpretation of scripture. Advocating that knowledge can best be gained from the personal experience of direct cognition, Ellson calls upon humanity to move from the insecurities of belief to the firm ground of experience in order to help create a safe and peaceful world.

The Beautiful Union of science, philosophy and religion
– an overview
The book begins with a deep questioning of many of our core assumptions and reveals that, in fact, they have a fragile basis. Targets include our limited senses, our reasoning and the 'point-valued' approach. Chapters then begin to engage in a more constructive, 'volume-value', approach, particularly in addressing the problem of consciousness. They highlight scientific evidence that points toward a universal consciousness that has a myriad of expressions. With this model, many questions are answered and at the same time, new light cast upon science, philosophy and religion, renewing the integrity and impetus of knowledge gathering. This approach offers new ways of looking at the world, useful, not just for scientists and other professional seekers, but for everyone.
A synopsis of each chapter:

Praise for The Beautiful Union:
"It has presented previously separated material in an integrated way making it meaningful to me. Beliefs, I didn't even know I had, have dissolved. The tension was maintained right to the last page. No slack. A huge undertaking and shared with love and vigour." S.T. C.
"Well written. I really hadn't thought about things in this way before." M.H.
"Thought provoking and inspirational." B.P.
