Book Description

April 1, 2000

A lighthearted yet profound guide to the realms of higher consciousness and the ultimate nature of reality.


• Explains some of the most difficult concepts of physics and heightened consciousness in ways that are easily understood.


• Presents a model for the interaction of the universe and human thought that has profound implications for our future.


All aboard for the excursion of a lifetime as Itzhak Bentov, the celebrated engineer, inventor, and mystic, takes you on a tour of the universe, pure consciousness, and all that lies beyond. Using comical sketches, simple metaphors, and his famous wit and humor, Bentov explains the nature of reality, points out the sights in Nirvana and the Void, and eventually takes you to a meeting with your higher self. Along the way, Bentov illuminates the Kabbalistic principles of number and sound, the meaning of cosmic shapes and symbols, the consciousness of devas, and the nature of the absolute. Ultimately, he shows that the universe and thought are inseparable, and that the thoughts of all human beings affect each other and in turn the whole universe--an idea with obvious and far-reaching implications. Anyone interested in the inner reaches of the mind, the greater structure of the cosmos, and the spiritual evolution of humanity will find A Brief Tour of Higher Consciousness an informed and delightful traveling companion.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"A delightfully ingenious cosmic comedy on the nature and structure of ultimates. Here are travelers tales such as you rarely find; metaphysical jaunts from one end of the universe to the other."
(Jean Houston, The Foundation for Mind Research )

"A Brief Tour of Higher Consciousness is a user-friendly, comical approach to what can be impenetrable subject matter. Bentov keeps in touch with his audience by providing it with images and physical analogies. For those who crave a more objective view of the same philosophy, Bentov's work is complemented by a selection of essays by other authors dealing with same subject matter in a more traditionally scientific manner. Though not as easy to read as Bentov's humorous writing, it is refreshing to see something annotated and sustantiated. It reminds us that the insights gained from Bentov's intuition have their roots in fields ranging from Eastern philosophy to modern physics.

A Brief Tour of Higher Consciousness is a light but satisfying foray into the cosmos. It will please both the layperson and the educated physicist, and will make anyone chuckle."
(Patrick Brennan, Fate, February 2001 )

"He is another author who has successfully shown the parallels between science and spirituality. I most recommend his works, especially A Brief Tour of Higher Consciousness for it will inspire you in most unimaginable ways."
(Jaye C. Beldo, The Konformist )

"This is a book to puzzle you, delight you, and give you some 'Ahs' in your search to meet yourself and the nature of reality!"
(Arlene Goetze, Network for Women's Spirituality, March/April/May 2002 )

5.0 out of 5 stars Light, fun, profound, and mathematical, February 27, 2006

This review is from: A Brief Tour of Higher Consciousness: A Cosmic Book on the Mechanics of Creation (Paperback)
This book is the best (and most fun) introduction to the modern idea of Enlightenment combined with quantum physics that I have ever come across. And I have been swimming in these "Enlightenment" waters for over 35 years now.

"A Brief Tour of Higher Consciousness" is light, fun, profound, and mathematical. The author relates the ultimate meaning of the Universe with both the Hebrew and Sanskrit alphabets. I especially like the chapter about the Devas because it so closely parallels my own experience.

The subtitle of this tome is also revealing: "A Cosmic Book on the Mechanics of Creation." Wonderful!

5.0 out of 5 stars Enlightening and Informative Book that is Mandatory Reading, June 4, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: A Brief Tour of Higher Consciousness: A Cosmic Book on the Mechanics of Creation (Paperback)
Itzhak Bentov's second book after "Stalking the Wild Pendulum", (that was completed/published by his wife after his untimely death). Itzhak bentov was a genius in the area of physics and metaphysics, and reveals to mankind (those with the intelligence, and open/elightened minds) the proverbial secrets of the universe.

Other recommended books are- "KYBALION" by Three Initiates ; "Initiation of the World" by Vera Stanley Alder ; "The Secret Life of Nature" by Peter Tompkins ; "Meditation" by Sri Chinmoy ; "Heaven's Mirror" by Graham Hancock ; "ZELATOR" by Mark Hedsel.

This review is from: A Brief Tour of Higher Consciousness: A Cosmic Book on the Mechanics of Creation (Paperback)
-You didn't believe me, did you? Okay, let's say this more accurately; Itzhak Bentov makes the understanding of the The Process of self-realization easy! Just in case you haven't realized that Nirvana defeats our Evolution, that your thoughts Can influence our environment, that the ONLY way is from Will to Love, I highly recommend this book. It's one revelatory ride, and a fun one at that! The tickets are right over there; Enjoy.
