Consciousness: Bridging the Gap Between Conventional Science and the New Super Science of Quantum Mechanics Hot

A Fresh View of Consciousness

It's indescribably refreshing to read a book that challenges us to better understand consciousness by asking the deceptively simple question, "What, if any, is the difference between brain and mind?" of scientists well-versed in quantum physics and consciousness.

The importance of considering quantum physics with regard to consciousness is that in the realm of the very, very small, it becomes clear that many old assumptions of science are out-dated--which implies our understanding of consciousness needs to be brought up to date. Matter is not all there is, as everything can be viewed as consisting of energy; non-local "spooky action at a distance" regularly occurs; observers definitely and consistently effect what they observe; and we can only predict results in terms of probabilities--never in absolutes.

There is quiet boldness in the way CONSCIOUSNESS invites readers to explore different viewpoints from luminaries in the field of consciousness, because the interviewer, Eva Herr, has experienced exceptional states of consciousness with corresponding sense of agape and knowing that we are all as one. The genius of CONSCIOUSNESS is then as much in the selection of interviewees capable of envisioning the topic of consciousness both intuitively and rationally, as it is in pursuing this age-old subject through the fresh new lens of modern-day scientific insights and discoveries. While each interviewee answers the same questions, their responses provide insights regarding how best we might view the relationship between the mind and the physical world... and the mind and All That Is.

CONSCIOUSNESS is organized as a series of interviews, and it comes alive with reports from recent scientific studies as reported from the world-class researchers and scientists themselves, including: Thomas W. Campbell Jr., Brenda Dunn, Amit Goswami, Robert Jahn, Ervin Laszlo, Rollin McCraty, Dean Radin, Elizabeth Rauscher, Henry Stapp, Christian de Quincey, and William Tiller.

Highly recommended!
