I found a free book online that tackles some of the stuff of Pat's book, the biggest stuff, the merging of physics and mysticism. While Pat felt no need to reference popular publications and had more of an affinity to the bible and Koran, I can appreciate how many of the points made in his book are made here also. Thanks Pat, wherever you are.
