Editorial Reviews

From Scientific American

A ground-breaking work. Clear, imaginative, and inspiring, it offers a revolutionary image of the human mind and the universe.

From The New Yorker

A brilliantly executed theoretical romp through the universe...to do all this with humor and suspense is indeed a major accomplishment.

MomentumMikey says Still Revolutionary after all these years...

July 13, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

One word summary for the book- Zip-Line.

Itzhak invites us in innocently enough by talk of vibrations and frequency. Next thing you know he’s discussing frequency coherency and holograms. Suddenly, you’re strapped in and he’s pushed you off the edge and you are on a crazy Bentov Bender zip line through the consciousness of the cosmos. Hang on.

Forty years after this was written, I believe this book still pushes the edge of what we think about our place in the Universe, ourselves as holograms, and how Consciousness interacts with the Universe.

Just a few of the Free Toys inside this heavy box of Bentov Bran Flakes include:

Everything comes down to frequency. Get the right frequency and you entrain with the cosmos. Your energy can travel around the world seven times a second.
His own model of the Universe (even designed after a jelly doughnut) complete with Black Holes, White Holes, Matter, an Axis of Time, Light Escapement, the Universal Mind Hologram, Expansion and Informational Fields of Energy. You’ve never seen toys like this.
Discussions on Relative Realities, Levels of Evolution and Consciousness Hierarchies.
Ideas suggesting Poltergeists, ESP, Psychokinesis,Psychic Healing and other phenomena, Telepathy, and Mystical experiences are all just consciousness on a higher level.
A real masterpiece of creativity and a plethora of crazy ideas, mixed with plenty of hand drawn graphs and doodles to exemplify his points.

I believe you could kick back and randomly open the book and discuss any idea on a given page for hours with your buddies.

Oh, by the way, it would really help if your buddies were also a stoned Hippie, an Astro-Physicist, and a Philosopher.

A Look Back at Quantum Mechanics

December 8, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book was published in 1977. It's an outdated classic. The first 6 chapters are still pretty solid; that is, Bentov does a great job of explaining quantum physics in layman's terms. (Everything in the Universe is vibration, including us. What we think of as solid reality is just our slow human brains trying to make sense of information that is moving at the speed of light.) By about chapter 7, the current science outpaces Bentov's explanations, and by chapter 8, his "Model of the Universe," we know that the material is outdated and some of it is incorrect. He discusses, for example, a Universe that expands and then eventually collapses back into itself, with time traveling backwards. In 2011, however, three scientists - Saul Perlmutter, Brian Schmidt, and Adam Riess - won the Nobel Prize for Physics for the discovery that our Universe is expanding forever outward and will NOT collapse back onto itself. This is just one of many of Bentov's theories that has been proven wrong, though I hope that some of his ideas prove correct in the future. Stalking the Wild Pendulum is still a very good review of what was considered the cutting edge of consciousness theory 40 years ago.

Bentov is a man ahead of his time (if time were relative). What he has imparted is what all need to know.
There are times when one swerves into what has been intended and there are occasions when the opposite has occurred...and for a reason.
If you have read this work, you have read it for a reason. For that and for no other reason, you cannot not know you were called to rub your brain up against his. He is as we all are, imbued with the divine spark that lies within us. His meticulousness is without peer. His detail, the same. His agenda, divinely inspired. Simply we are one...we, who have the God-spark within us, are by deduction...God...all of us. We are who we pray to.and to whom we seek guidance...we are seeking miracles from ourselves.

Stalking the elusive consciousness

August 29, 2012

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I am reminded of words spoken by the very famous Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the Indian Guru of the 60's who taught the Beatles to meditate. He said somewhere, 'why would the fish in the water be thirsty.' What he was talking about was the fact that we arise from, exist in and are nothing but consciousness', and therefore the process of meditation is by inference no more difficult than falling off a log. Itzhak Bentov has taken the title of his book from the writer of 'Stalking the Wild Asparagus', Euell Gibbons, someone totally in love with nature and intensely curious about it. So is Itzak Bentov about the world we live in. It is not what he says, it is the quality of a mind which accepts nothing without thought and much questioning and no boundaries on the nature of the world we live in. The 'Wild pendulum' of the title is a reference to us humans whom he sees as 'action and rest, action and rest, just like a pendulum. Many of his conclusions were ahead of the science that supports them, some of his conclusions are questionable, but all of his thought is an absolute delight at least to this thinking mind. Windows in the Sky, 'Buddha is that you?'

Itzhak Bentov - A Genius ahead of his time

July 1, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

A MUST READ for anyone who wants to explore consciousness and universal law. Itzhak Bentov was a genius ahead of his time who died suddenly in a plane crash while writing his second book. He explains everything in simple language that anyone can understand. His wife Mirtala continued his work and got his second book published posthumously. There is also a DVD where his wife explains the principles in his book.

Stalking the Wild Pendulum

August 19, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Super fun reading, and you might really get more conscious about consciousness . . Bentov has a wonderful way of making very esoteric concepts, such as time, and the idea of multiple lives, concrete and clear. It's a one of a kind book and I'm very grateful to have found it.
