Summary: Living Energy --- that's Gary Schwartz alright!
Review: The Living Energy Universe Gary Schwartz & Linda Russek The living Energy Universe is an incredible book-- incredible because it is hard to believe, especially when you think of all the repercussions the theory it proposes presents. But the authors do a very credible job of arguing for its feasibility. Basically, it posits that every action, every moment of existence is reflected out into the universe to reverberate and interact as a living energy memory with the universe, including the myriad of other living energy memories. The book ties together everything, from eastern philosophical ideas of non-duality and connectedness to Rupert Sheldrake's morphogenic field theory (which is elegantly explained) to the phenomenon of organ transplant memory, in which recipients of heart and other organ transplants develop habits or experience memories whcih could only come from the organ donor. This theory has so much potential to change the world and the way we think of it. I'm not just talking about technology. It can change the way you think about God, death, the afterlife, relationships, karma, organ transplants. A beautiful aspect of this book is it manages to let the reader get to know the joyful, loving personalities of its authors. And that even flows into the theories-- theories filled with love. The book is unusual for its author, because it is the first book not written for a professional audience. Gary Schwartz has a huge CV, with several hundred publications to his credit, and he is one of the most respected psychologists in America. It's a treat-- like candy for the mind-- (vitamin enriched) to get such a digestable big chunk of Schwartz's ideas (most likely made more easily understood by his lifemate, Linda Russek. Isaac Newton, in crediting his scientific predecessors, commented that he got his ideas by standing on the shoulders of giants. If you want to stand on an extra tall pair of visionary shoulders, try the ones who wrote this book. As the organizer of The Futurehealth Winter Brain Meeting, I've had a wonderful opportunity to get to know some of the world's most brilliant visionary scientists and thinkers. Gary Schwartz, a regular speaker at the conference, is, among this stellar group of peers, regarded as somewhat special, guaranteed to surprise and delight by not only expanding the realms and reach of science, but by doing it with scintillating, clear sparkle. He not only sees what others have never seen before, but he shares his ideas with the excitement of discovery he must have experienced on his own.It is a wonder to watch a room full of brilliant, world famous brain researchers shake their heads in astonishment and surprise when Gary, giving a lecture, drops another of his new explosive ideas. There are always a few who literally walk out, shocked by the boldness of the proposals. But most keep coming back for more, because the ideas force us (or better, lift us up) to see the world with new eyes, and that's a very special gift. Read this book and you will change the way you see the world and your relationship to it and everyone and eveything in it. Take Gary's advice, and read chapters 6 through the end first, before going into the scientific explanation. Rob Kall, President, Futurehealth, Inc, Founder/organizer The Winter Brain Meeting
