Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
The late molecular biologist Reanney focuses on issues concerning time and death from a psychological perspective. He examines the history and nature of consciousness, especially the fear of death, ultimately maintaining that both quantum physics and a closed feedback loop framework of becoming support the belief in the personal immortality of human consciousness and therefore eternal life. In fact, although influenced by Stephen Hawking and Fred Hoyle, Reanney argues that the evolving universe is essentially consciousness. This book does offer interesting insights into myths, genes, memory, entropy, human choices, relativity, "many universes," and organic evolution. Unfortunately, its author lapses into objective idealism and wishful thinking. This journey into cosmic mysticism is recommended only for New Age collections.?H.

Review
Molecular biologist Reanney blends science and spirituality in his investigation into quantum physics and its reflection on the nature of mortality and immortality. An intriguing, new examination results which challenges the boundaries of both scientific discoveries and spiritual thinking. -- Midwest Book Review

5.0 out of 5 stars Our Future: Now, March 6, 1999
By A Customer
In my opinion, the author, Darryl Reanney, offers a colossal advancement in the field of human consciousness, succeeding to open a new dimension for the bold and the brave. He calls for the death of the ego-self as the way of moving into another realm, the breaking of the time continuum of today's perception into the liberating space and unity of the Super-consciousness. If one word can characterize his endeavor, it is "Freedom". For it is the conquest of death through death that Reanney is advocating, aligning himself with the well-known immortal figure of our culture: Yahshua, or Jesus, as many know him. It is the exalted state of the human condition that he is able to describe using the latest advancements in science and thought.

If Jesus had to live as a testament of our future, Darryl Reanney comes along, twenty Centuries later to start the process of becoming for the average intellectual mind.

The title, I think, is the only minus about this work. It might put off some people due to the title-induced perceived message of the book. I would have rather preferred to be called: "Our future: Now".

Every person that sincerely desires to transcend the present primitive condition of the human perception, should not only read this book, but make a point to study it out. I know of no other work that would help us to increase the awareness of our potential more, the critical need for spiritual growth for the preservation and advancement of the living condition.

5.0 out of 5 stars New Perspective, April 25, 2004
To be honest - I am writing this review half way through the book! This book is beautiful - it gives a totally new perspective on time, human consciousness and death. Hindu Philosophy says 'everything you see is an illusion', and this book brilliantly analyses that statement using statistics, math and quantum physics. Its not too technical, and its not too philosophical. I was somewhat familiar with Erwin Shrodinger's Cat in the box paradigm - but this book lends it new meaning and perspective. I am not sure if you can do this book any justice by rating it - death and consciousness are personal experiences, and any reviews of books about them are always prone to be tainted by personal beliefs - but this book was right in alignment with my thoughts about death. So if you are open minded - go for it - this book will definitely make you re-think life!
...

Ok, I have finished reading this book twice. I am trying to buy this, but seems to be out of stock.

4.0 out of 5 stars visionary wonder, December 3, 2003
a powerful and eloquent work that valiantly attempts to bridge the gap between diverse subjects toward a unified theory to explain human consciousness.

The author boldly explores many different areas to provide the reader with profound insights and much seeding for future ideas.

A majestic accomplishment.
