Complex made Simple
It is amazing how McCoard managed to write a book correlating spirituality and physics.Although beliefs and spirituality are not quite a physical thing, the way they work, as demonstrated in the book, has a physics-like way.This book is a very complex yet intriguing book. I would personally recommend having already some knowledge on both physics and science to be able to follow through, because I personally had trouble with understanding certain things, includingvthe Law of Attraction.I also felt like the book could be longer, because everything was explained in a simple way, when I believe they are way more comolex than as McCoard managed to explain them.I would say this book deserves more exposure in maybe philosophy, phsychological and even political courses, because the debates and discussions it could arise could help gain deeper insight to this subject and it would be very interesting to hear different points of view.The illustrations in the book were nice too.

Enlightening
Return to the Absolute is one of those books that explores and tries to understand the world we live in. Mixing science with spirituality, Calvin McCoard shares his insights about life itself and creates a bridge between those very different worlds.I personally think that balance is one of the most important things to have in this life, a subject that is deeply treated in this reading. Understanding nature, humanity, and finding meaning in your life are fundamental subjects, and I recommend this book to people who are looking in that direction.Overall, I find this book very enlightening; it is a different approach that is worth taking into consideration.Great job.

Excellent read for the spiritually minded and conscious individual
Return to the Absolute by Calvin Mc Coard provides unique perspective into a topic I have no knowledge on. Although the topic was unfamiliar, Mc Coard simplifies the terminology by adequately explaining the meaning of many complexities which provided context and aided in understanding. The author sought to answer questions that intrigued him and the intermingling of science and spirituality from his perspective was astounding. Physics may be a daunting subject for many but this book is not overly complex, and in no way a deterrent. The visual aids in the book are colorful and they are a great addition and a necessary accompaniment to the explanation of aspects such as Newton’s law in terms of balance, duality and the Absolute.Calvin Mc Coard shares his experience with spirituality, duality and the absolute. He describes his experience vividly, “My soul or free will seemed to enter back into my body. The experience of it coming back was one of the most powerful experiences I’ve ever had in my life. It brought me to tears with an overwhelming feeling of love and gratitude.” The author continues by sharing how different religions view duality and in this comparative analysis one can gain a new perspective on the topic.Everyone is bound to experience bad days and Return to the Absolute by Calvin Mc Coard tell us that engaging in activities such as meditation, drawing, breathing exercises, physical activity, listening to music are a great way “to improve the energetic landscape you stand on.” The advice is profound and can create great impact if implemented in one’s life. Self reflection and personal introspection can create growth and in a way change our energy signal. I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it for the spiritual minded and conscious individual searching for answers on how to shift their vibrations.

A Thought-provoking Read
Return to the absolute helps to find which direction to take in life and also helps to connect to one’s life purpose.Reading this book has changed my mindset and approach to life by connecting physics, spirituality, and life experiences. All thanks to the author, a physicist, who refused to settle for less and did not accept the nature of reality and existence as a mystery. He took me on a journey not only with his writings but also with the magnificent illustrations in the book.I love the way the author gradually took me on a journey in steps, explaining how the laws of physics show the natural flow of reality towards the absolute and how it leads to the idea of a conscious universe. Also, it relates to spiritual teachings and its application to life experiences.Return to absolute is a must-read for all who wish to change their approach to life, whether you have a physics background or otherwise.

A unique blend of science, philosophy, and spirituality
This is a very interesting, well-written short book. By philosophical assumptions, it blends biological consciousness into the fabric of the known Universe. Although this is a profound belief, to me the greater achievement of this book is to expand our awareness beyond our own human bubble of reality. In the face of the awesome expanse of scientifically validated reality, can we be shocked into curious humility? For the strongly conservative-wired brain, this is terrifying. But for all others willing to embrace the unknown, it's a fascinating journey. Having the courage to look beyond our own noses and doctrinal limitations, this book is an important step along that joyful exploration. Particularly riveting was the example of the author's kidney crisis. Highly recommended!

intermingling of physics and spirituality
For readers who are interested in Return to the Absolute, I would say it's imperative to have some knowledge in the world of physics to be able to understand and appreciate the information that is provided. The information is given directly and in an easy-to-follow format, which I think was more beneficial to readers due to the intermingling with physics and spirituality. It's important to keep an open mind while reading this one, but I think readers who do would be surprised with what they discover from learning about the connection of spirituality and physics. This is a relatively quick read that most readers would be able to complete in a single sitting.

Thank you for sharing
Rarely do I read a book that explains, validates and inspires me. I fully see now how we seek validation, soul desires, and complete universal balance, all while trying to pay the bills, take care of ourselves and others. Life is hard, but easier (less resistance and pain) with understanding.Truly appreciate your time to share.

Science, spirituality and mind combined
This book is for anyone who is interested in the way that the thought worlds of science and the spirit combine together. The author sets out a clear and lucid analysis of the correspondences between the laws of physics and the insights offered by religion, philosophy and spiritual practice. Lavishly illustrated throughout, McCoard is also a talented artist whose detailed, harmonious paintings are used with maximum effect to visualise and deepen the understanding of the concepts he is engaging with. A particularly affecting aspect of the book is the way he is able to draw on his own rich and varied life experience to provide a context for the evolution of his thought and creativity.The book is broken down into a series of short sections passing through the scientific, the spiritual, the personal and the practices associated with the author's understanding of a problem that has occupied the human mind over the millennia. I see this book as being of value to scientists who are looking to extend their knowledge outside of their discipline and would also appeal to readers already embarked upon a spiritual journey who want to understand more about what the "other" side have to say about the nature of existence.It may be an idea to include a bibliography and references in future editions, but this aside, the book is highly readable, thought provoking and very attractive to look at.

A fantastic read! Law of Attraction and Science in one book!!
I really enjoyed this book! Calvin gave a concise description of how science can explain the Law of Attraction and how physics can offer insight into the fundamental laws of the universe, as expressed by many of the world's mystics and spiritual leaders. I absolutely loved how Calvin shared his personal experiences to demonstrate further the theories and philosophy he represents. This helped me make meaningful connections between our relative experience of the world and the physics that underpins our human experience. I was greatly impressed by the colorful visionary artwork he used to illustrate the book. Calvin shows himself as one of those special people whose mind works scientifically and logically, has a burning desire to understand the deeper meaning of life, and is also artistic and creative. Just brilliant!

Quick and interesting Read
I read this book in three hours, I will read it again to make sure I didn't miss anything. The author reinforces what I have come to believe as an essential part of daily life, the practice of meditation. I have tried it a few times prior to reading this and now I will give it another go. This is easy to read and understand, I highly recommend this book.

An interesting and educational read!
Entering into this book was asecure introduction, sucking you into the work with a descriptive beginning that makes you think about spirituality etc. This read was a surprise to how interesting it is, and while I don't necessarily believe all of the information provided, it definitely can be used as an enlightening piece.If you're a philosophical individual I think you'll like this book, as it really does trigger deeper, non-lateral thinking. I liked reading about magnetism and how physics (from what my limited education allows) is linked with everything, even spirituality. The language used is appropriate to explain to non-academics, and also interesting in how the author writes.The book is well thought and planned out, I think there should be references as there's a lot of information I personally would have liked to follow up on, but overall and very interesting read!
