Book Description

Publication Date: September 30, 2003

ONE MAN'S REMARKABLE SEARCH FOR

THE ULTIMATE TRUTHS OF OUR WORLD

For Professor Roger Hart, life truly began after he almost lost his -- in a horrific fall off the slopes of Mount Everest that he miraculously survived. This near-death experience sparked a desire in him to devote his studies to the very nature of human consciousness, in order to unlock the code of reality that binds our world.

On an adventure of discovery that would take him around the world, Hart would experience life-altering transcendental events in Tibet, Morocco, and Tierra del Fuego -- opening the door to a true understanding of the nature of man. In this groundbreaking volume, he explores the participation of consciousness in the creation of reality, challenging the traditional scientific view of time, space, and objectivity -- and describing in detail his own metaphysical journey, which has involved synchronicity, precognition, and telekinesis. It is an exploration of the very things that make us human -- and a quest that touches upon the meaning of life itself.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Geophysicist Hart has learned a great deal about how the world works, and through a series of life-changing (and often life-threatening) events, he believes he's learned to change the world with his thoughts. Starting with a disastrous attempt to climb Mt. Everest, Hart's history unfolds as a series of near-death experiences and unfortunate events around the world. He has a strong science background, but the stories here quickly lead into the paranormal, in a manner reminiscent of The Celestine Prophecy, complete with meaningful coincidences. He describes hitchhiking in Morocco and being picked up by a military officer in a Mercedes. The driver menaces Hart with talk of incarceration, right-wing philosophy and bad driving. In an attempt to escape, Hart crashes an oncoming Fiat into the Mercedes with his mind. Although Hart admits being high on hash cookies at the time, he is certain he caused the crash. Once he acknowledges his mind's ability to alter reality with telekinesis and precognition, Hart seeks an explanation by talking to yogis and trying to match mysticism with quantum physics. Much of the book involves dreamy dialogue, with Hart trying to find scientific explanations for his paranormal experiences: "Is it possible that these universes expand from the singularities in the quantum foam?" Unfortunately, the answers are as clouded as Hart's hash-hazed memories (e.g., he never fully defines or explores the term "phaselock code"). The author is very clear about where he has been, but readers are never sure where he is going.

5.0 out of 5 stars A compelling read, October 2, 2003

This review is from: The Phaselock Code : Through Time, Death and Reality, The Metaphysical Adventures of the Man Who Fell Off Everest (Paperback)

Author Roger Hart nearly died falling off the North Face of Mount Everest. That and other near death experiences has led Mr. Hart to question what is reality and how does an individual know it? His adventures and misadventures have taken Mr. Hart to many remote sites where he discussed with local wise men (and women) various incidents that occurred to him. He began to catalogue a common metaphysical theme of two bodies, once corporal and one mental. Soon Mr. Hart returned to western physics, studying theories on waves and particles in quantum mechanics. This led him to phaselock quantum physics where an individual "chooses" a wave function to screen through an endless number of perceptions.

This is a well done tome that merges Eastern thought with Western quantum physics into an oneness, but written so the reader understands the basic concepts of both. The author's energy (no pun intended) grips the audience as Mr. Hart makes it easy to grasp a myriad of complex subjects whether it is free will, the nature of time, and what is reality, etc. Readers who appreciate an easy to understand without condescending look at the metaphysical realm tied to modern day physics theory will want to decipher THE PHASELOCK CODE.

5.0 out of 5 stars A scientific review of the mystical, April 10, 2004

By 

Richard S. Smith (Woodland Hills, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Phaselock Code : Through Time, Death and Reality, The Metaphysical Adventures of the Man Who Fell Off Everest (Paperback)

Dr. Roger Hart had a near death experience, an out of body journey, and a couple of other mystical events in his life. He has searched quantum physics for the answers and has blended these life altering events in an authoratative tale that can be accepted by the most skeptical - if read with an open mind.

His delivery of the information is like a novel, and is an exciting autobiography.

This book can be a life altering event.

This review is from: The Phaselock Code : Through Time, Death and Reality, The Metaphysical Adventures of the Man Who Fell Off Everest (Paperback)

Young adventurer has religious experience during apparently fatal plunge off cliff with famous mountaineer during first breathing apparatus-free attempt at Everest and follows it up with a series of extreme, live-changing experiences in harsh and exotic places to build a theory about causality as well as a solid career in geophysics.

Very trippy and exciting -- I read it from cover to cover in one long airplane flight.

Also, I think he's a very solid witness, unlike a lot of books in this genre. He's a research scientist, as well as having a serious interest in religious and existential questions, and it makes his voice much clearer and more convincing to me at least. His theorizing is a bit dodgy to me -- not wrong as much as not very predictive -- but certainly thought-provoking enough and enlightening to contemplate.

Highly recommended!
