Product Description:
Science has begun to prove what ancient myth and religion has always espoused: that there may be such a thing as a life force. During the past few decades, respected frontier scientists all over the globe have produced extraordinary evidence to show that an energy field -- the Zero Point Field -- connects everything in the universe, and we ourselves are part of this vast dynamic network of energy exchange.Lynne McTaggart, indefatigable investigative journalist, has spent four years researching this area where science meets the New Age to create this story of scientific explorers, their groundbreaking work, and its controversial implications. Until now, conservative scientists have done their best to rule "god" out of their equations. This book shows why the Zero Point Field makes all things possible: all things connected in space and time."The Field also reveals a radical new biological paradigm -- that on our most fundamental level, the human mind and body are not distinct and separate from their environment, but a bundle of pulsating power constantly interacting with this vast energy sea. Here, in so-called dead space, may lay the key to many of life's processes, from how cells communicate to how organisms actually take shape. The Field is responsible for our mind's highest functions -- our memory, intuition, and creativity. It is the force that finally determines whether we are healthy or ill, the force that must be tapped in order to heal. Original and well documented with eminently distinguished sources, "The Field also lifts many areas from the level of myth into the realm of hard science. It offers a scientific explanation for many of the most profound human mysteries, from howalternative medicine, spiritual healing, and extrasensory perception work to the existence of the collective unconscious. A highly readable scientific detective story, "The Field is the ultimate breakthrough book. It presents a bold new theory that will change your perception of the way your mind and body work.

This is an excellent book for anyone interested in human consciousness study. Well written and only required a little bit of scientific background.

This book covers a small band of scientists from various parts of the world that broke the mold and bravely did research where others, wanting the funding, would not dare to go. Their discoveries were considered heretical, but their passion for truth was more important than recognition and money. Anyone skeptical of the paranormal will be convinced after reading these experiments.
As the book explains, science changes a funeral at a time, as people entrenched in ideas must often die before new paradigms can be accepted. Also powerful monetary forces keep us locked into old ways of rigid thinking (thinking controlled by the petroleum/pharmaceutical/banking/agri-system corporations).
The book is sprinkled with some really good tidbits of info, such as that women are better at multi-tasking than men, that there is scientific proof that we can create reality through our intentions, that our consciousness is everywhere in our bodies (not just the brain), and that when a couple bonded in a relationship focuses on something, it is six times stronger than when a single individual does.
This book makes a great companion book with The Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot. The two together answer the question of how the universe works.

As the last line of the book was so succinct in stating, the ideas of "the field" may indeed alter science forever, but it is, "only a start." I would not recommend this book if you desire a technical analysis. For example one small gripe I have is the author barely glossed over how the REG machines worked on their own (without consciousness influencing them). Another small problem is that the author does not breach far into refuting arguments against the field. Essentially the book describes a series of varying experiments and then explains what the evidence means to supporting the field. The topics hone down to one major category: the science of mind and body and their connection. But towards the end she goes into alternative energy and the space programs, which was unexpected, but it definitely fit logically. Don't expect to find explanations for how quantum reality works and how physicists envision it. Mctaggart does not explain this beyond the very basic tenets, which she warns of this limitation in the preface. However she does hint at topics being more contentious than the way she presented. An example is reconciling Einstein's relativity with quantum mechanics, something that is one of the biggest issues in physics today. Mctaggart does not tell us this, but on the issue of alternative energy it is obvious one can infer this. Finally, Mctaggart does do a good job of summing up the main points of the book in the end. The main points being that the old paradigm of Newton's ... Read More

Gives scientific proves of the ENERGY and experimental physics that can lead the world to a real change in energy technology, health and others.

With a little imagination and a lot of scientific corroboration, THE FIELD gives a unifying model for life and its relationship with the universe and ultimately with the life force called God.
