Rating: Summary: Stunning Information Review: A fantastic piece of scientific reporting, knowledgeable enough to explain complex physics processes so that the lay person can understand. Adding to this other reading I've done, it makes it clear that science and philosophy are moving closer to each other. Those of us with minds open enough to at least speculate and imagine, are seeing and hearing scientific support for things we've known intuitively for a long time. What an exciting book!
Rating: Summary: God found (again) Review: A great book - possibley the best I have read - but why (if God has been "found" as the "Zero Point Field") isnt the whole world aware of it via the media? Vested intererest in career, money or just incredulity? Thought and intention manifest themselves in statistcially measurable phenomena. The boundaries between individuals is blurred. In a sense we are part of a "Matrix" or "Borg" - but the "blue pill" makes it very difficult to see this. Light, Life, Love and Laughter.
Rating: Summary: THE INCONGRUITIES IN SCIENCE EXPOSED Review: For years science has witnessed the paradox of the placebo -- a "sugar" pill having no medicinal properties CURING people. But rather than question its basic assumptions, what is currently held as "sacred," even if it is wrong and responsible for much of the illness in our world, science continues to protect its antiquated 400 year old belief system like a mother vehemently protecting her young. Lynne opens Pandora's Box and illuminates what noted physicist Henry R. Stapp says in his paper entitled "Knowings" -- that if Quantum Physics is taken seriously, the basic irreducible building blocks of physical matter are orchestrated by "knowings" -- consciousness - what you and I think and believe!!!
Rating: Summary: Fantastic bridge spanning science and the "paranormal" Review: I have background in engineering and also work as a lecturer for the Silva UltraMind System. I recommend this book to everyone who attends my class. Its a great read and hard to put down. The only drawback may be the authors constant reference to Physics(frequency, zero-point field, resonance, Fourier Series) that may put off readers without a basic science background.
Rating: Summary: The Most Interesting Book I've Read All Year Review: I loved this book. The author presents research from many different sources indicating that everything in the universe is connected. There are so many possibilities for human intention to change the world in a positive way. Somehow, I knew this on an intuitive level. I think we have all known it somewhere deep in our souls. I wish everyone could read this book and be inspired to open their minds to the mysteries of the universe and human potential.
Rating: Summary: eye opening !! Review: I recommend everybody to read this book ! The theory of the author explains many until now unexplained things.
Rating: Summary: Pulls it all together! Review: In short I really appreciate this book. It is a terrific mind-bender!
Lynne McTaggart has done a great job in pulling together the work of so many "legitimate" researchers who are pushing their explorations into strange but fruitfull territories... not the Twilight Zone, but rather the profit zone as measured in intellectual coinage.
What I most appreciate is the light it plays on so many things that I have read before; I can see now that their material circled around some hidden assumption which remained an unstated "given" ... which turns out to be "The Field"
If you are a student of the human condition I would suggest you read it... but first temporarily suspend your dis-belief mode!
One reason for me in writing this letter is that an unkind reviewer mocked not only this work but a statement from another reviewer. He used the term, "moronic"
That bothered me. Indeed, this critic is a very learned gentleman in Chemistry and Quantum mechanics, but I think he was unfair in his dismisal of the field as being a mere virtual mathematical anomaly. However, the Field's effects can be measured ... and have been. I thought he was "off" concerning his absolute skepticism and intellectual contempt regarding the posibility of validating Newton's unsubstantiated 2nd law, F=ma.
from an online paper by the proponents of the Field.
(snip)
"In our formulation, the m in Newton's second law of motion, F=ma, becomes nothing more than a coupling constant between acceleration and an external electromagnetic force. Thus what we are proposing is that Newton's second law can be derived from the laws of electrodynamics, provided one assumes an underlying
zero-point field."
(snip)
Now from that description I don't readily see how the critic's objection -- as I understand it -- addresses what they are talking about. I'm left wondering if he bothered to read the book.
Hey, hang all ten! read It!

Rating: Summary: Balance, Brevity and Beef Review: In the burgeoning genre of consciousness/quantum physics works, there seems to be a great continental divide from which most works run downhill, one way or the other. To the right go the physicists and empiricists, who through academic training and an inately esoteric world view often write so technically and thickly that the hard and simple implications of what is being said are often lost, or leap over the head of the average reader. On the left are the mystically inclined, who in their rush to validate what 10,000 years of human intuition and insight have already convinced them is truth, often impose their own particular agenda, faith or quirkiness upon the material before the reader can have a chance to decide what it means for themselves.Lynne McTaggart's new work, The Field, comes very close to finding the pass over the divide. Writing with a journalist's instinct for cutting to the quick, McTaggart also manages to avoid the journalist's curse of sloppy synthesis and patchwork research. What results is a brilliantly effective introductory work, with enough beef on the bones to satisfy the intellectually hungry and agile while not overwhelming the casual diner. McTaggart also laudibly avoids indulging in metaphysical flights of fancy at every turn, and is reasonably successful in leaving the reader freedom to ponder the implications for themselves. In short, I highly recommend this work to anyone interested in exploring the decreasing gap between science and "spirit," especially neophytes. McTaggart gives an engaging, sweeping, inspiring and yet meaty survey of some of the major moments in quantum effects/consciousness research, and the work provides enough documentary evidence to allow the interested to pursue the topic further from either an empirical or ephemeral point of view.
Rating: Summary: Lucid Exploration Of The Quantum-Holistic View Of Reality Review: In The Field, the author takes the reader along on a quest to understand the metaphysics that underlie our perceived universe. This book mainly reviews the data and theories of scientists exploring new paradigms in physics, consciousness, and subtle energy fields. While the evidence in these areas is open to theoretical interpretation, the findings consistently disprove dominant materialistic and mechanistic notions about life and the universe. The Field makes it evident that a deep analysis of scientific paradigms will lead those seeking a greater truth into the realm of metaphysics and consciousness, which have traditionally been the terrain of mystics, philosophers and spiritual seekers. This book provides an excellent overview of the most important developments in the sciences that examine the most vital issues of existence. This book is also great for challenging materialists and even some religious fanatics, as it documents contradictions to widely held beliefs.
Rating: Summary: Delivers an expanded view of the universe Review: Leading edge scientists and healers are brought together in this ground-breaking compendium of examples of the Field. This primal field, the fabric of the universe, connects everyone to each other and to all life. Lynne also shows many illustrations of how life energy travels through the Field in spiritual healing, acupuncture and energy medicine. This breakthrough book is a classic in the making.
