The Field: The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe [Audiobook] [Audio CD]

Lynne McTaggart (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 1, 2007

Based on interviews with today's cutting-edge scientists, investigative journalist Lynne McTaggart wrote The Field (HarperCollins, 2002)--a compelling presentation of the theory that there is a measurable "life force" in the universe. Now in this original audio adaptation by the author, McTaggart takes listeners on a journey into this exciting arena of science called the "Zero-Point Field" that could be the key to understanding "supernatural" forces, healing energy, and the nature of consciousness. Offering a challenging new vision of the future--and insights on how this science can immediately affect our own lives--here is a unique opportunity to hear Lynne McTaggart as she unveils the mysteries, discoveries, and wonder of The Field.

Editorial Reviews

Review

'I think this is an important book and should be widely read. It stretches the imagination, making a good case that we are on the verge of another revolution in our understanding of the universe -- perhaps even greater than the one that heralded the Atomic Age.' Arthur C. Clarke 'We must freely explore the unknown. Read, learn, accept and change your view of life ! fascinating.' Bernie Siegel, M.D. 'The Field is a preview of third-millennium science and how it will touch the lives of every person on earth!McTaggart's book should come with a warning: MAY FOREVER CHANGE YOUR WORLD VIEW.' Larry Dossey, M.D. "A fascinating read for anyone who believes there is more to this world than meets the eye. Unputdownable." JACQUES BENVENISTE 'One of the most powerful and enlightening books I have ever read. I encourage everyone to spend the time examining how we are all connected by thought, by emotions, and yes, even by the atoms and molecules that make up our bodies. This kind of awareness is needed today more than ever before.' DR WAYNE DYER The Field is one of the most thought-provoking reads of 2001!This is not the first book on the universal energy called 'The Zero Point Field' , but it is probably the most readable, for a non scientist.' THE ECOLOGIST 'The Force is with us, even if mainstream science is taking its time to get up to speed in acknowledging it. Fortunately, as Lynne McTaggart highlights in The Field, frontier scientists have been performing experiments that prove the reality of a realm that hitherto had been the domain of Eastern mystics!The vast scope of this book lifts the veil on a state of being that is our birthright!' Nexus magazine Lynne McTaggart has done us a great favor by her extensive reporting on this wondrous topic. Her work is strongly recommended. Hal Fox, Editor, Journal of New Energy --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Exploring cutting-edge research, June 18, 2006

By 

Pieter "Toypom" (Johannesburg) - See all my reviews
(HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)    (TOP 500 REVIEWER)   

This review is from: The Field: The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe. Lynne McTaggart (Paperback)

This book examines developments at the frontiers of science. Schroedinger, Heisenberg, Bohr and Pauli were the pioneers of quantum physics, but numerous scientists in various disciplines have been conducting experiments that reveal profound new possibilities in our view of the universe. The author investigates the work of those scientists who are at the cutting edge of exploration, all with reference to the life force, universal energy field or Zero Point Field, an ocean of microscopic vibrations. It would appear that evidence is mounting that the universe is one vast quantum field.

Part One: The Resonating Universe, looks at the work of amongst others, Rupert Sheldrake, Fritz Albert Popp, Robert O Becker, Jacques Benveniste and Karl Pribram. The theory of the universe as a collection of resonating frequencies is here examined. Part Two: The Extended Mind, explores the work of inter alia Helmut Schmidt, Jahn & Dunne and Puthoff & Targ. The topics include nonlocality, remote influence and viewing, dreams, clairvoyance, ESP, precognition, the nature of time and how the observer influences the observed, like quantum particles.

Part Three: Tapping into the Field, deals with the experiments of for example Elisabeth Targ and her positive findings of remote healing in AIDS cases, and the work of William Braud, Dean Radin and Roger Nelson. The concept of collective consciousness is fascinating. The speculations include the possibility that negative consciousness is like a germ that infects large numbers of people and could produce evil like the Inquisition, Hitler and the Salem Witch Trial.

On the other hand, positive consciousness might give rise to great periods in history, like the Renaissance and many benign popular trends. The question of the existence of emotional and intellectual synchronicity is addressed here. McTaggart also looks at developments in artificial intelligence and considers how these recent discoveries might influence the future. They are hinting at an immense human potential, validating alternative medicine and confirming some mythical and religious beliefs. The author believes that this scientific revolution has forever ended the concept of dualism.

The book contains notes by chapter, a vast bibliography and an index. McTaggart has performed a great service by making the research of a large number of scientists known to a wide popular audience. Sometimes the reading pleasure is lost in the overly detailed descriptions of various experiments and their preparation. Also, the physical descriptions of the scientists under discussion are often a bit irritating and unnecessary, although it might have been done to keep the narrative accessible and conversational.

1.0 out of 5 stars The audio is not the same as the book, May 8, 2007

This review is from: The Field: The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Audio CD)

I was extremely disappointed with the audiobook of The Field. I purchased it for a friend who is handicapped and unable to turn the pages for herself. Instead of getting the book on audio...I thought I was listening to an unending introduction to the book The Field. What a huge disappointment! Now I will have to read it to my friend instead. Do not waste your money!

1.0 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware--This CD is not the Book., February 23, 2007

This review is from: The Field: The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Audio CD)

The CD uses the title to Lynne's book "The Field" and the word "unabridged". This all implies to me that the cd is the book. I loved the book. If you think you're getting the book in any way, forget it. If you're a mystic and know you're going to get some type of free wheeling discussion of daily activities talking to people whose work may or may not have been in the book and maybe alluding to some of the content of the book, then buy the cd.
