Are energy fields real? And if so, can they be used for healing and health? Yes, according to Gary, a professor of psychology, surgery, medicine, neurology and psychiatry at the University of Arizona.

Gary believes passionately that 21st-century science provides clues to G.O.D. – the “Guiding, Organizing, Designing” process animating the universe. With the fervor of an evangelist, he draws on quantum physics, psychology, mathematics and evolutionary biology for evidence that this G.O.D. exists.
