Description
Welcome to the Zero Point AgeIs there such a thing as a life force--an energy field that connects all living things across space and time? Could the existence of this living energy field provide a scientific explanation for supernatural phenomena? After interviewing cutting-edge scientists in many disciplines, investigative journalist Lynne McTaggart presents a compelling and stunning argument for this theory in her groundbreaking masterpiece, The Field. Now in this original audio adaptation read by the author, McTaggart takes you on a journey into the most exciting frontier of science, featuring: Why the science of the Field is already revolutionizing healthcare, energy technology, and our understanding of spirit and consciousnessThe Zero Point Field--evidence that an all-encompassing quantum energy field resonates with everything--including ourselvesWhere science meets spirit--startling new findings about the most profound human mysteries, from spiritual healing to the collective unconsciousEvidence that "paranormal" human potential is present in each one of usThe power of individual and collective intention to create--and heal--ourselves and our worldWith a challenging new vision of the future--and insights on how this science can immediately affect your own life--Lynne McTaggart takes you on a unique journey as she unveils the mysteries, discoveries, and wonder of The Field.… (more)

The thought-provoking movie What the Bleep Do We Know dramatized quantum mechanical effects. Its Web site had a list of recommended books. The Field was near the top of that list. The Prolog states “Human beings and all living things are a coalescence of energy in a field of energy connected to
The books three parts are The Resonating Universe (Chapters 1-5), The Extended Mind (6-9), and Tapping into the Field (10-12). Chapter One shows that the self has a field of influence. Chapter Two describes the Zero Point Field as “Zero-point energy was the energy present in the emptiest state of space at the lowest possible energy, out of which no more energy could be removed.” p. 24: “The existence of the Zero Point Field implied that all matter in the universe was interconnected by waves … tying one part of the universe to every other part.” P.26: “the Zero Point Field is a kind of shadow of the universe for all time, a mirror image and a record of everything that ever was.” p. 33: “…there is no mass. There is only charge.” p. 36: “With such a vast energy bank to be harnessed, virtually anything was possible – that is, if human beings had some sort of quantum structure allowing them to access it.”
Chapter Three shows that organisms emit light and communicate with it. The difference between health and sickness show up in the coherence of the light. Chapter Four shows that molecules speak to each other in oscillating frequencies. Water is like a tape recorder. It imprints and stores information. P. 68: “ … recorded the activity of the molecule on a computer and replayed it to a biological system ordinarily sensitive to that substance. In every instance, the biological system has been fooled into thinking it has been interacting with the substance itself…It appeared that the Zero Point Field created a medium enabling the molecules to speak to each other nonlocally and virtually instantaneously.”
Chapter Five shows that we don’t see objects but only their quantum information and out of that we construct an image. Consciousness = coherent light. Memory resides in the Zero Point Field. P. 84: “In a sense, holography is just convenient shorthand for wave interference – the language of the Field… To know the world is literally to be on its wavelength.” P. 85: “In a sense, in the act of observation, we are transforming the timeless, spaceless world of interference patterns into the concrete and discrete world of space and time…We create space and time on the surface of our retinas. As with a hologram, the lens of the eye picks up certain interference patterns and then converts them into three-dimensional images.” P. 94: “This might be a good explanation for free will. At every moment, our brains are making quantum choices, taking potential states and making them actual ones…Consciousness was a global phenomenon that occurred everywhere in the body, and not simply in our brains. Consciousness, at its most basic, was coherent light.” P. 95: “… short- and long-tem memory doesn’t reside in our brain at all, but instead is stored in the Zero Point Field.” P. 96: “In ignoring the effect of the Zero Point Field, they’d eliminated the possibility of interconnectedness and obscured a scientific explanation for many kinds of miracles.”
Part 2 starts with Chapter Six which shows that people influence random events. Each of us creates the world. Chapter Seven shows that people influence one another. P. 138: “Our wishes and intentions create reality. We might be able to use them to have a happier life, to block unfavorable influences, to keep ourselves enclosed in a protective fence of goodwill…Our natural state of being is a relationship – a tango – a constant state of one influencing the other.” P. 139: “In that sense, our intelligence, creativity and imagination are not locked in our brains but exist as an interaction with the Field… Many other studies have shown that strong community involvement was one of the most important indicators of health ...”
Chapter Eight discusses remote viewing. This is amazing. People can describe distant sites. P. 160: “It seemed to suggest that because of our constant dialog with the Zero Point Field, like de Broglie’s electron, we are everywhere at once.” Chapter Nine describes remote viewing of the past and the future, which is amazing but well-documented. P. 175: “So, if you applied these principles to mental health, it could mean that you could use The Field to direct influences ‘back in time’ to alter pivotal moments or initial conditions which later bloom into full-blown problems or disease…It might be that every moment of our lives influences every other moment, forward and backward.”
Part 3 starts with Chapter Ten which shows that healing works. Healers put out their intention, and let go to higher powers. P. 193: “… healing through intention is available to ordinary people…” p. 195: “…individual consciousness doesn’t die.” Mediums work. P. 196: “…Death may be merely a matter of going home or, more precisely, staying behind – returning to the Field.” Chapter Eleven describes collective consciousness, which can be measured. Events where people are intense like the O.J. Simpson trial or Princess Diana’s funeral register on machines. Chapter Thirteen considers possibilities for using the Zero Point Field, perhaps as an energy source. Another application – p. 222: “… if you don’t need the molecule itself, but only its signal, then you don’t need to take drugs, do biopsies or test for toxic substances … with physical sampling.” Pages 224 and 225 contrast the standard principles of physics and biology with the revised view due to the experiments described in this book.

every other thing in the world. This pulsating energy field is the central engine of our being and our consciousness.” I only state summaries and results, but the book supports these conclusions with descriptions of experiments by noted scientists. One of the top theoreticians of the Zero Point field is my colleague at California State University Long Beach, Professor Alfonso Rueda.

Another book that talks about zero-point energy (see Odenwald, Cook). But this one uses it to propound crackpot theories and New Age balderdash.

This book should be in every secondary school library and translated into every language. Having read it, one can build one's own philosophy of understanding "life, the universe and everything".

Easily one of the best books I've ever read about science and religion. I recommend it to anyone who asks "what's a good book to read?"
LibraryThing member joe1025
This book opens many new vistas and I recomend it for anyone looking for the meaning of life

A good follow-up to What the Bleep Do We Know (the movie or the book). The world (universe) is a stranger place than we knew, but some of those very strange things start to make sense when you read this book.
LibraryThing member jefware
There is a wealth of evidence supporting some very unorthodox events but I'm not at all sure that it is related to the quantum fluctuation field. Still, the idea that quantum theory is just classical theory with the SPF enfolded is intriguing.

Most interesting ideas - I really am intrigued by the idea of remote healing.

I don't know how to say this as the complement it is meant to be, but I was very, very pleasantly surprised to find this book as interesting, useful, and engaging as I did when I got around to reading it. There is some duplication of information in the book, which does have the effect of getting

the point across, but that does distract a bit from the book. I thought that this book would be something other than what I found it to be, which was a very straightforward reporting by Lynne McTaggart of research into this area. I was very interested in building one of the devices described in the book to detect the field, have discussed this with several people, and believe that there are multiple practical uses for such devices used to detect the Field. Great book. Show Less

Enjoyed the interesting ideas put forth in this work. The book did a good job reviewing the background needed to support the suggestions made in the new physical laws. My only sticks were that sometimes I felt the transitions between topics were a bit mechanical and the book seemed to have an

For those who really want to know how the universe works, this is the cutting edge stuff you want to keep up on. So many more things make sense now after reading the book.
