The Field

I recently finished reading a very interesting (although not perfect) book titled "The Field" by Lynn McTaggart.  Here's a partial review of the book posted on Amazon.com:

McTaggart, an investigative journalist (What Doctors Don't Tell You), describes scientific discoveries that she believes point to a unifying concept of the universe, one that reconciles mind with matter, classic Newtonian science with quantum physics and, most importantly, science with religion. At issue is the zero point field, the so-called "dead space" of microscopic vibrations in outer space as well as within and between physical objects on earth. These fields, McTaggart asserts, are a "cobweb of energy exchange" that link everything in the universe; they control everything from cellular communication to the workings of the mind, and they could be harnessed for unlimited propulsion fuel, levitation, ESP, spiritual healing and more. Physicists have been aware of the likelihood of this field for years, McTaggart writes, but, constrained by orthodoxy, they have ignored its effects, which she likens to "subtracting out God" from their equations. But, McTaggart asserts, "tiny pockets of quiet rebellion" against scientific convention are emerging.

I'm always interested in links between the scientific and spiritual realms, and this book provides a lot of intriguing items for discussion, to include new information about how the brain functions and how the body works at the cellular level.  There are other interesting looks at the power of dreams to include "remote viewing" experiments and programs led by the US government. 

Almost seven years ago I wrote a short article discussing the possibilities of electromagnetic energy being associated with the spiritual realms.  I haven't done much research along those lines since, but from what I read in "The Field" there is a growing body of evidence available that difficult-to-detect energy fields may provide an explanation to many of "life's mysteries".  The evidence can also be used to link together what many consider to be the mutually exclusive fields of scientific and spiritual discovery. 

I recommend this book to you...it doesn't have all the answers, but it will awaken your mind to some very interesting discoveries, and potentially change the way you view the world around you.
