Product Description

Product Description

In February 1971, as Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell hurtled earthward through space, he was engulfed by a profound sense of universal connectedness. He intuitively sensed that his presence and that of the planet in the window were all part of a deliberate, universal process and that the glittering cosmos itself was in some way conscious. The experience was so overwhelming Mitchell knew his life would never be the same. For the next 35 years he embarked on another journey, an inward exploration of the ineffable mystery of human consciousness and being. Mitchell left NASA to form the Institute of Noetic Sciences. The Institute allowed him to initiate research in areas of study previously neglected by mainstream science and where he constructed a theory that could not only explain the mysteries consciousness, but the psychic event - what spiritualists call a miracle and scientists dismiss altogether. Mitchell, also, created a new dyadic model of reality, revealing a self-aware universe not predetermined by the laws of physics nor preordained by deities nor infinitely malleable. While human actions are generally subject to the laws of physics, these laws are, also, influenced by the mind. Mitchell was one of the Atronauts featured in the documentary 'In the Shadow of the Moon', released in November 2007.


From the Author

Recent science validates proposal in this book
I am pleased to be able to greet readers and potential readers of "Explorer" in this space. Welcome! As one of a handful of human ET's who have visited another solar object and viewed our planet from that viewpoint, it was important to me to share my experience. It was an awesome and enlightening experience. But more than that it changed the direction of my life, causing me to return with some deep and abiding questions about our species, some of which I have reported in "The Way of the Explorer". I also provide an account of my continuing attempts to answer some of those questions in a new way.

Since the early 17th century, Cartesian duality has prevailed. Thus science and religion have proceeded down two separate, seldom interacting paths. Today's science demonstrates that Descartes' conclusions were flawed; mind and matter are interactive, physicality and spirituality are but two facets of the same fabric. I have explored the evidence for this for 30 years.

On page 178 on "Explorer" I introduce the quantum hologram. In the 3 years since publication, I have worked with a number of European and US scientists developing this concept. Both theoretical and experimental recent work has validated the Dyadic model which I had proposed. Succinctly stated, metaphorically, the quantum hologram is to matter as mind is to brain. Or said another way, the quantum hologram is nature's RAM (random access memory). For centuries, mystics have proclaimed that all life is in some way interconnected. The quantum hologram is a ubiquitous energetic and informational structure, rooted in modern quantum physics theory and experimentation that demonstrates how that interconnectedness takes place. Further it provides a testable structure to explain the "psychic" effects that all humans have experienced, but which science has previously been unable to explain.

In very recent times, both cosmologists and other branches of science are recognizing the importance of information in the evolving fabric of space/time. Clearly it is important since "knowing" anything by any entity requires information to be fundamental in evolution, or we humans could not have evolved as we have.

For those on a spiritual search, I would recall that Buckminster Fuller suggested that in order to understand the human condition, one must first understand the universe. But any great mystic would report, that to understand the universe one must first understand oneself. And, they are both correct.

My final comment is on the Kirkus review of my book (1996). It would seem that the reviewer must be from that group of scientists who believe that everything to be discovered has about been discovered. "A stimulating attempt to reinvent the wheel". Nonsense! The unfolding discoveries in science are validating each proposition offered in the "Way of the Explorer". The wheel we are looking for is still not invented.

Enjoy. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, 5 Oct 1998
By A Customer
Dr. Mitchell, astronaut and founder of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, discusses his mystical experience in space and tells about the ESP experiments that he performed while in transit to the moon as well as his theories about the nature of human consciousness. He tells of how he became convinced of the realities of paranormal events and tries to explain these events by rejecting the sacred cow of epiphenomenalism by intuiting that human consciousness is an integral part of the structure of the universe. Not always completley convincing, but always intensely interesting. This is an example of a man who refuses to be hemmed in by traditional ideas of what science should be.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great reading for deep thinkers, 5 Mar 1999
By A Customer
Dr. Mitchell's spiritual/scientific quest is utterly fascinating. He does an excellent job of uniting the two realms in a way that avoids the narrow scope of rationalism while eschewing the subjective excesses of much New Age thinking. What he gives the reader is nothing less than a paradigm that might help explain how life, mind, and spirit are cosmic phenomena with far more potential than we realize. Just plain excellent!

5.0 out of 5 stars Did we really go?, 25 Feb 1999
By A Customer
Did man really go to the moon? In view of so very many unanswered questions concerning our moon trips, I feel compelled to ask that question. I wonder, did "we" really go?
