Edgar Mitchell, who, along with Alan Shepard, walked on the lunar surface in 1971, traces the progress of two remarkable journeys: his life-changing space flight and his exploration of the ineffable mystery of consciousness and being.

"Everyone has talked about science and religion . . . but Mitchell has really dug into the main paradoxical issues and comes up with a resolving viewpoint."--Harold E. Puthoff, Ph.D

Mitchell proposes a model of the universe "not predetermined by the laws of physics, not preordained by deities, nor infinitely malleable … but also influenced by the mind." The exploration of inner and outer space represents the next epoch of our evolution.

Mitchell concludes that our own consciousness and beliefs are profoundly part of reality. He offers us a tour of Western thought from Aristotle to Newton, arguing that intuition and science were divorced until the advent of Einstein and quantum physics.
