Preview The Vodou Quantum Leap: Alternate Realities, Power and Mysticism
THBVODOU QUANTUM LEAP Alternate Realities, Power and Mysticism THEVODOU QUANTUM JEAP VENTURE BEYOND ORDINARY REALITY The investigation of matter by modern science has revealed that beyond the atoms, quarks, and leptons, lie the forces and ener- gies that cannot be seen by our naked eyes or perceived by our senses, but they are real. Quantum physics reveals to us that reality has two faces, a visible one and an invisible one. Vodou reveals this hidden face of reality. Vodou recognizes the unseen, or shadow forces as the essence of non-ordinary reality. The Vodou Quantum Leap explores the analogies between African-Haitian mysticism and quantum physics. Vodou accounts of possession, channeling, and zombis all reflect the multidimensional nature of existence. Venture beyond ordinary reality—discover the wonders of Vodou on the magical island of Haiti. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Dr. Reginald Crosley (Maryland) is a physician, poet, and writer. His book of poetry, Immanences, was published in 1988. Crosley is Haitian-American. Raised in the culture of Haiti, he was introduced into Vodou’s inner sanctum and included in rit- uals observed by his family when he was a child. He has studied Vodou in a scholarly manner since the 1960s, and The Vodou Quantum Leap is the result of a protracted inquiry into the many dimensions of Vodou alternate reality.
