Leonard R. Cooper has studied spiritual science for over thirty years. His many years of training in software systems analysis and design has allowed him to produce a strong integration of science and religion in order to provide a greater, more encompassing perspective of the universal reality in which we live. Religion encompasses the many ways that human beings acknowledge their relationship to a reality much greater than themselves and a power that is responsible for the creation and maintenance of that reality. Science encompasses the many ways that human beings attempt to understand the order and structure of the reality of which they are a part. Science attempts to define the relationships that exist between the elements of the whole, while religion attempts to define the whole itself and our relationship to it. Religion is an integrative perspective and science is a differential perspective of the same reality. Thus, to understand the reality that we live in, the two perspectives must be in harmony.

Leonard R. Cooper wrote The Grand Vision – The Design and Purpose of a Human Being specifically to provide a new perspective that illustrates the complete integration of these two perspectives, and provides answers to seven primary spiritual questions that can act as a foundation for the unification of all human beings on the Earth.

The role of consciousness and the concept of thought forms as the basis of all manifestation in the time-space universe, provide powerful keys in understanding this new vision of a completely connected and conscious universe. By integrating information from many documented sources, The Grand Vision explores the origin and development of the multiple energy systems that come together to form human consciousness. It also describes the dual paths of human existence after physical death.

From a musical perspective, Leonard taught himself how to play the piano when he was nine years old and almost immediately began composing songs. Even today, music is his primary language of expression. Leonard used his computer background to develop software-aided music compositions using virtual instruments, which will also be offered as part of the SPRE presentation. In conjunction with the release of the book, Leonard has produced a CD entitled The Grand Vision – Journey To The Cosmos which is currently being marketed nationally along with the book.

Along with his wife Nan, Leonard founded PlanetaryHeart, a literary and music publishing company. A new version of the web site, www.planetaryheart.com, is currently under construction, and should be available in June, 2006.
