 Isaac Vazquez Sedono TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN I, Isaac Vázquez Sedono, phisician graduated by the University Complutense of Madrid, would like to assert the extraordinary influence that Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh has had in my life. I have got to know him through his lectures and books on Pithagoras, Socrates, Heraclitus...etc. His understanding of science is unique to me. He can put together religion and science as parts of a whole unity without any gap betwen them. Through him phisics becomes something sacred explaining the misterious links and subtle balance of energies that rule our Universe as a cosmos, as a whole unity in variety. With Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh Science ends to be an enemie of Religion to be in reality the outside face of the inner nature of existence. His vision has transformed my life and want to give Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh my international support as a personality of exceptional ability in Science and Religion. [signed] |
