Why are we here—and where does reality truly begin and end? In To Eternity and Back, R.A. Varghese delivers a concise, high-velocity tour through the frontiers of physics, philosophy and faith. From the search for a unified “Theory of Everything” and the startling Eternity Equation to the unexpected intersections of science and the sacred, this audio-visual odyssey reframes our place in the multiverse. Perfect for scholars, skeptics and seekers alike, it promises fresh insights and a powerful vision of our cosmic homecoming.

R.A. Varghese is the author/editor of over ten works on the interface of science, philosophy and religion. He is best known for There is a God – How the World’s Most Notorious Atheist Changed His Mind. His co-author, Antony Flew, was previously among the most influential atheists in the philosophical world. Varghese’s Cosmos, Bios, Theos had contributions from over 24 Nobel Prize winners and was called “the year’s most intriguing book about God” by Time magazine. He won the Templeton Book Prize for “Outstanding Books in Science and Natural Theology” for Cosmic Beginnings and Human Ends.
A sweeping prologue that casts you alone in a trillion-star universe, the deep void human loneliness and the hostile sweep of cosmic indifference. We erect homes of faith, family and ritual against despair—only to watch them battered by sorrow and decay. Yet, all seems lost, a still-small voice whispers that, “all shall be well,” hinting at a hidden firmness beyond the abyss.
“Take Off” catapults you out of everyday life—shedding age, debts and identity—to embark on a cosmic flight plan. You’ll touch down at the heart of Eternity, puzzle over the God Algorithm and blaze into the untamed Multiverse. A glowing Flight Path of starfields and wormholes then steers you beyond doubt into the very presence of the Divine. in for the ultimate journey.
Flight Announcements
First, the Flight Announcements jettison every mundane concernyour age, your rights, your debts, even your identity—declaring them entirely irrelevant for what lies ahead.
Flight Plan
Next, the Flight Plan unfolds like a cosmic itinerary, teasing the grand stops on our voyage: from the enigma of Eternity to the mind-bending God Algorithm, and beyond into the untamed wilds of the Multiverse.
Flight Path
Finally, the Flight Path lights the way through starfields and wormholes, guiding you past realms of doubt into the very presence of the Divine.
Step into the Mission Control Center of your soul’s greatest voyage—where the machinery of reality hums with divine purpose and every dial points toward transcendence.
In “Eternity,” you’ll confront the infinity that stretches beyond birth and death, discovering how time itself is woven into the fabric of Love and destiny. Next, “The God Algorithm” peels back the cosmic code to reveal the blueprint by which the universe—and your own heart—was designed. Finally, “The Ultimate Theory of Everything” dares to unite the laws of physics with the mysteries of spirit, presenting a single grand equation that holds together galaxies, atoms, and the very essence of meaning.
Together, these three chapters transform abstract concepts into a live-action control deck, inviting you to chart a course through the unknown, override the limits of chance, and touch the heart of the Divine. Strap in: it’s time to launch your personal odyssey toward the infinite.
Eternity
The God Algorithm
The Ultimate Theory of Everything
Take a journey into nine amazing layers of reality. First, step into the “Magic Mindspace” that runs from hidden quantum fields all the way up through microbes, plants, birds and the unique self-aware mind of humans. Then slip into the unseen world of angels and demons, both good and bad. Next, travel through the oldest faiths—from Stone-Age tribes to Vedic Hindus, Zoroastrians, Taoists and Hebrew prophets—and see how they all pointed toward sacrifice, a dying god and life after death. Finally, reach the turning point of history: God becomes man in Jesus, the Holy Spirit’s fire sweeps in at Pentecost, divine life is born inside us, and a simple “Eternity Equation” shows how every choice now leads to forever with God—or not. This is reality like you’ve never seen it before.
Magical Mystical Metaverse
Explore “Mind-space” itself: a five-layer matrix of “minds” into the cosmos. From the quantum field’s hidden information streams to bacteria’s secret signals, horse-fly instincts to bird flocks and plant networks, this chapter unveils how intelligence simple selfreplicators to human self-awareness—underpins every part of reality.
MindField
Peer behind the scenes at the infinite-eternal Mind that birthed the universe and holds it in being. Discover why modern physics and great scientists—from Planck to Einstein—found God in the workings of force-fields, and how consciousness and meaning only make sense as emanations of a single cosmic Intelligence.
Homo Sapiens 1.0
What makes us more than glorified chimps? A lightning-fast leap from animal awareness to conceptual thought, the first-person “I,” the power of choice and language. See how our unique self-reflective mind burst onto the scene in an evolutionary heartbeat—and why no theory of life can skip over this human miracle.
Perdition
A call into a realm beyond atoms and ecosystems—the hidden world of angels and demons. Meet the fallen spirits who defy the divine and the guardian hosts who guard us, the rites of exorcism and the global dance of light against darkness in the war for human hearts.
The Rendezvous of the Religions
A surprise reunion of faiths old and new: how Stone-Age tribes, Vedic seers, Zoroastrian priests, Egyptian mystics and Taoist sages all hinted at sacrifice, a dying god and an afterlife. Trace the prophetic echoes that converged in the world of Israel to set the stage for a Savior.
The Incarnation of Infinity
The climactic collision of heaven and earth in one life. Meet the Triune God as He becomes a man—Father’s Word enfleshed, Spirit-breath in human lungs—walking, teaching and healing among us. This chapter reveals why, in Jesus, divinity and humanity fuse into a love story for the ages.
The Force
Fifty days after the Resurrection, the cosmic Wind blows again—tongues of fire, languages unleashed, a torrent of spiritual power flooding the earliest followers. See how this “Force”—the Holy Spirit—launched the Church, empowered missionaries and still ignites hearts today.
The God Gene
Born again—not of RGB or DNA but of Spirit—this chapter maps how the Living God “genes” you with an eternal identity. Through water and Spirit you become a child of God, endowed with divine life, sealed for the glory of heaven and destined for an inheritance that never fades.
The Eternity Equation
Your life in one formula: E = f(P, t, C). Eternity (E) flows from who you are (P), the time you have (t) and the choices you make (C). Discover the simple yet staggering logic that each decision tilts you toward unending joy in God or self-imposed exile from the Source of life.
“Your Secret Lover” pulls back the curtain on the universe’s greatest hidden romancean infinite, prodigal Father wooing from the dawn time. From Stone-Age prayers to the Lord’s Prayer, every culture has called out to “Father,” echoing a prime longing. The cosmic fine-tuning birthed stars, DNA, and your very self points to a Designer who “loved you into being.” In Christ’s life death, and Resurrection, that Lover became your Brother-Son and poured out the Spirit so you could call God “Abba.” This chapter reveals how every promise in Scripture—God’s provision, protection, and eternal sonship—beckons you to trust, pray, and step into His heart, where your forever home awaits.
