ON THE MYSTERY OF BEING

Maurizio Benazzo Zaya Benazzo

Contemporary Insights on the Convergence of Science and Spirituality

This long-awaited collection features essays by Deepak Chopra, Rupert Spira, Adyashanti, Jeff Foster, Gail
Brenner, and many more.
“Who are we?” “What is our place in this vast and ever-evolving universe?” “Where do science and spirituality meet?” With this dazzling collection of essays, the founders of the expanding Science and Nonduality (SAND)
conference bring together a wide array of visionary spiritual leaders, psychologists, philosophers, scientists, teachers, authors, and healers to celebrate and explore what it means to be human.

Zaya Benazzo is a filmmaker from Bulgaria who has degrees in engineering, environmental science, and film. For many years, she worked as an environmental activist in Holland and Bulgaria, and she later produced and directed several award-winning documentaries in Europe and the United States.

Maurizio Benazzo grew up in Italy, and in 1984, he came to the United States on a 98-year-old sailing boat. He started working as an actor, model, and filmmaker, but his thirst for knowledge was only satisfied in 2001 upon encountering I Am That, the seminal work by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, while he was in India shooting the award-winning documentary Short Cut to Nirvana.

Maurizio and Zaya merged their lifelong passions for science and mysticism when they met in 2007, and their first project together was filming the documentary Rays of the Absolute on the life and teachings of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj. This project sparked their next level of creation and collaboration: Science and Nonduality (SAND)—a global community inspired by the timeless wisdom traditions, informed by modern science, and grounded in direct experience.
