Perhaps the most important feature of this book is Lynne MacTaggart's balanced even handed writing, not trying to persuade or cajole you. While she is clearly in favour of what they have found, rather than the rebuttals that many of them faced, she describes what different scientists have demonstrated over the last 50 years about the depths of quantum physics, mind, matter, time and space. Their findings confirm what many of us have experienced in many small different experiences throughout our lives, and in one way or another. Experiences that so clearly derive from the truth that consciousness is a unified field, intersecting different levels and experiences of matter, mind, time and space.
Aside from the excellence of her bringing these findings together in readable language... Lynne also keeps her balance as your mind as a reader gets blown away by the fact of homeopathy over the internet, distance healing, that going back to heal yourself or someone before an illness starts and the now theoretically explained and possible wonders of anti-inertia travel, everyday levitation etc.
She also keeps her balance as the experiments she describe make it clear that perception creates reality. Change your perception and you change the reality (not just the way you think about it).She is delicate not to rub in the awesome truth that therefore we each have total responsibility over the reality that we create through our conscious and unconscious use of thought every moment of our lives. Something I need to remain aware of more of the time.
In reading this now, most of what I have seen and witnessed in the last 40 or more years has been squarely pushed back in my face. Among other things, unprompted by me, my six year old son has described auras since he was four and has completely accurate bouts of ESP. So my question is, surely we cannot educate our children as if we do not know all of what is described in this book, when they so clearly experience it first hand, day in day out. We cannot go on talking about chopped up reality as if we do not understand and have not experienced deeper out of time space interconnectivity. Think of the implications for how we describe and teach about all the physical, biological and human created systems? (One of my distant educational backgrounds being traditional Oxford neoruphysiology). This is what is currently blowing my mind, especially when I see how these things are still being taught in many schools. Can I extend my son's understanding and knowledge of reality in a way that he can pass intellectual exams if need be, but which also honors and builds on what he already so clearly knows. The same udnerstandings which so clearly had become a proven known part of the collective scientific human psyche (mainstrean publications or not) in the years before his birth. (and which have been seen/known in many different ways in different cultures for thousands of years).
My only query on this exceptional and very important book is why the last chapter is written in the past perfect ('had') instead of present or present perfect ( at least'have'). I personally read the book as gathering together my past experiences, insights, knowledge,, deeply affecting my present and that it must seriously and deeply inform my future from this moment on. In writing in the past perfect, it was almost as if the author wanted to seal off the findings herself. But they are here, present, they ARE the reality... these scientists have ensured that.. as has your writing them up.
In my much humbled view, I am the one who needs to change fast, instantaneously for that matter, if I am going to be of any help to my children rather than a useless conditioned dinosaur stuck in some out of date corner of time and space.... with appallingly unnecessary destructive habits. This book is a profound gift for any of us who have a need to transform fast so that we may be able to resonate a little better with those, probably your children too, who are already light years on.
