What If the Universe Needed You As Much As You Need It?

Reality isn’t static. It’s alive, dynamic, and infinite—unfolding through the convergence of countless parts into a diversity of wholeness. What role does consciousness play in this ongoing emergence?

In A Bridge Between Science and Spirituality, Ashman Roonz takes you on a transformative journey that challenges conventional wisdom about existence, consciousness, and your place in the cosmos.

Why does something exist rather than nothing?

What if death isn’t an end, but a profound transformation?

How can science and spirituality merge to unlock new ways of understanding reality?

This book offers more than answers—it provides tools for navigating life’s greatest mysteries. It’s a call to action for thinkers, seekers, and dreamers to explore the boundless interplay of wholeness and individuality, emergence and transformation. Ashman Roonz tackles "the hard problem of consciousness" and "the binding problem" of neuroscience, and provides a clear understanding in the difference between mind and consciousness.

Step onto the bridge, and discover:

A deeper understanding of who you are and your role in the unfolding universe.

A framework for living ethically in an interconnected world.

Comfort and purpose in the face of life’s greatest challenges.

The infinite creativity of existence—and your active participation in it.

This is more than a book—it’s an invitation to become part of the emergence of something greater.

BODY

The Living Boundary

Your body is not one boundary. It’s boundaries all the way down.

○ is body as interface. It’s the place where inside meets outside, where you open and close, where you breathe in air, take in food, receive touch, absorb experience. It is not a wall. It’s a selective membrane—alive, responsive, and always in motion.

Try This

Close your eyes and feel where your body ends and the air begins. Notice how many tiny sensations are being woven into that one felt “edge.”

MIND

The Field Between

Φ is mind as field—the living medium between center (•) and boundary (○). It’s the whole relational space where signals from the body come in, where awareness from the center flows out, and where the two blend into conscious experience.

Try This

Notice your body breathing by itself. That’s ○. Now notice that you’re noticing. That reflective awareness is flowing from •. Then feel the space in which both are happening. That’s Φ.

SOUL

The Aware Center

• is soul as center—not a substance lurking somewhere inside you, but the point of view from which everything is seen. It is the structural center of the whole circumpunct.

Bodies change completely over a lifetime. Memories blur, identities shift. And yet, there’s a sense that the one who was there then is the same one who is here now.

Try This

Close your eyes. Notice your breath. Then, gently, turn attention back toward that awareness itself—not the objects in it, but the fact that knowing is happening. That’s •.

⊙

CIRCUMPUNCT

The Whole You

⊙ is the circumpunct: a circle with a point at the center. The circle is the boundary that holds everything that is “you” as a single system. The point is centeredness—the soul that experiences from within.

Instead of thinking, “I have a body, I have a mind, I have a soul,” you can think, “I am ⊙: a whole being whose body, mind, and soul are three faces of the same process.”

Try This

Feel your body as one shape (○). Notice the space of awareness in which thoughts arise (Φ). Sense the quiet center that’s aware of all of this (•). Then soften your attention to hold all three at once. That’s ⊙.

You are not on your way to being ⊙. You are ⊙, right now.
