Publisher's summary

How do you get something out of nothing?

It seems like an obvious question, one that drives everything from spiritual creation stories to our understanding of the big bang. Yet it leaves us with a sense that underneath everything lies emptiness and lack. We can phrase this question in a new way: How do we get something out of everything?

In Leap to Wholeness, physics educator Sky Nelson-Isaacs explores the science of wholeness. To understand wholeness, imagine a beautiful photograph that you want to modify. The image exists in space. Yet graphic designers are familiar with another space, called the frequency domain, or “pattern-space”. Here, changes to the patterns affect the image as a whole. We can make the entire image blurrier or sharper, for instance, with a simple filter in pattern-space. A change to one local region affects the image everywhere. This is an example of wholeness that exists right before our eyes.

We each have filters that influence what we see, hear, think, and feel. They take who we are as a whole, and they limit it to what we feel comfortable with - what we already know, rather than how we can grow. We carry models that interpret the world for us. But we can become more aware of our filters and from this awareness experience more flow, more openness, and less anxiety. When we align with circumstances rather than fighting them, we open the door to synchronicities that give us leverage in creating the change we want to see.

Following this thread from modern audio technology, to the human brain, to the very nature of time itself, Leap to Wholeness explores a paradigm of wholeness that is easy to miss. For instance, when you look at the red part of a rainbow, you may not realize that you’re really seeing white light that’s had blue and green filtered out. Or where you see blue, that means red and green are missing. Maybe creating something out of everything is not about what we do...but about what we don’t do. By removing filters - thoughts, feelings, and other reactions - that keep us weaving the same old patterns, we naturally allow ourselves to grow, heal, and adapt.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

"Sky Nelson-Isaacs has written a book that is not only profound but also urgent. Whether or not our human species survives on this planet largely depends on the degree to which we sense his key message about the intrinsic connections, unity, and the interdependence of all of life. Think of Leap to Wholeness as a survival manual for humans, because that is what it is." (Larry Dossey, MD, author of One Mind: How Our Individual Consciousness Is Part of a Greater Mind and Why It Matters)

"Sky takes us on a journey where science and spirit express the same reality - a reality that is always seeking to restore balance in its quest for wholeness. Deep scientific insights intertwine naturally with personal reflections and what might have seemed academic science becomes relevant to anyone on a conscious journey of self-exploration." (Kimberly Carter Gamble, producer, director, and cowriter of globally acclaimed Thrive I and Thrive II)

“...a radiant quilt of science and spirituality with a keen awareness of social justice, a thread of sanity in a world facing some of the greatest challenges in human history, a shot of Mystery for all who seek.” (Vera deChalambert, author of “Kali Takes America”, spiritual story teller, and scholar of comparative religion)

All NVCers Listen to this book!

having met sky Isaac Nelson online at a great workshop I reached out to him and talk to him about how much his theories back up what Marshall Rosenberg had to say about non-violent communication. he allowed me to teach him an introduction to non-violent communication and found it to be very valuable for himself and his family. if you would like to understand what Marshall Rosenberg meant when he said "what you see is what you get" this will give you the answer.
