"At its core, "Blind Spot" is about the blind spot that prevents us from knowing who we are. In revealing this obliviousness, the author dives into the perspective that is commonly known as "nonduality," the principle that lies at the core of all world wisdom traditions, including the scientific ones.
The reasons for what Campion has dubbed "Blindspot" may be understandable, yet as he shows in brilliant, and often humorous detail, its costs to the individual, to humanity in general, to the planet as a whole, are high, indeed. In a word, confusion. In another word, suffering.
Although there are numerous books available today about nonduality, only "Blindspot" directly addresses the critical distinctions that exist between the conventional approaches to spirituality (indeed, to life itself) and the nondual approaches. Plus, how these same distinctions also play out in the sciences.
Critique: Iconoclastic, exceptional, intriguing, thoughtful and thought-provoking, Moss Campion's "Blindspot: Through the Wormhole of Science and Religion" from Hohm Press is a seminal work that will prove to be of immense value to readers with an interest in the intersection and relationships of science, religion, and philosophy. While especially and unreservedly recommended for personal, professional, community, and college/university library collections, it should be noted that "Blindspot: Through the Wormhole of Science and Religion" is also readily available for students, academia, and non-specialist general readers with an interest in the subject is also readily available in a digital book format as well." --Carl Logan, Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
"This is a wonderful book, brilliantly, wittily, and lucidly reasoned. It was compelling to me from beginning to end." -- - Red Hawk (aka Robert Moore) author of Self-Remembering and Self-Observation
"Blindspot exposes the unseen distinctions that exist among the ways that people seek the Big Answers to the questions posed by life, the universe, and everything. Campion strips away our blinders with a playful humor." -- Zaya and Maurizio Benazzo, filmmakers and founders of the Science and Nonduality (SAND) global community
Blindspot exposes the unseen distinctions that exist among the ways that people
seek the Big Answers to the questions posed by life, the universe, and everything.
When most people speak about God or Truth or the Divine, Campion asserts, they
aren’t actually talking about anything divine or godly at all--whether they are
believers, unbelievers or undecided. Whatever their posture toward these matters,
they betray an almost universal “unseeingness” about what the entire spiritual
enterprise is actually about―its rules, codes, even its final aim. They are blind to
what the great sages of the world’s religious and philosophical traditions have
pointed to forever―which also happen to converge with the discoveries of
contemporary science as it grapples with the nature of consciousness.

Moss Campion is a qualified commentator, having immersed himself in the
mystery of consciousness all his life, both in the context of his personal
circumstances and also in his work with patients in the hospital setting. Along the
way he studied with many esteemed teachers and guides, in both the animal and
plant kingdoms.
While growing up on the mist-shrouded coast of Maine, Moss Campion would eagerly await the arrival of Halloween all year long, already demonstrating a strong interest in the mystical side of life. Even as he later worked in fields as varied as music, skiing, nursing, and journalism, he continued his involvement with spiritual teachings, studying with a number of esteemed teachers and mentors. He holds a masters degree in journalism and has collected numerous credits in specialized magazines. His biography of the Bavarian sage Lothar Weichert was published in Germany. Along the way he received awards and fellowships from University of Michigan, University of Colorado, and the Ucross Foundation.
