It was drawn out explanations of how our body acts as a antenna for information. I was SO BUMMED when I recieved this book and started to dive in. I was looking for something to inspire me to be intentional, but this book was basically on the "wierdo radar". Again it was very drawn out, and really just a bit far fetched. I even tried to skip a few chapters into it, to avoid the "setup" but, I couldn't take it.
Unfortunately, I ordered McTaggart's "Living with Intention" CD set before reading this book, and now I'm not sure I want to hear the CDs if she's just going to keep rehashing the same stuff. I skimmed parts of the book and really only read chapter 13, the "Intention Exercises" which comprised a scant 13 pages of tips for optimal intention conditions.
However, if you've read a few books on quantum physics, you will already be familiar with the direction of the research anecdotes that fill the first 11 chapters of the book. Let me start by saying that I am a McTaggart fan.
Since I subscribe to McTaggart's "Intention Experiment" newsletter, chapters 12, 14, and 15 were also not new information. Yes, we know by now our minds influence our realities.
I don't need all this convincing. This section was helpful, but superficial when compared to the depth she spent on the first 12 chapters leading up to it.
When the set arrives, I may just send it back.
The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the WorldThis wonderful, scientific journal by Lynne McTaggart continues her discussion on the idea of intention and our reality. Her award winning presentation definitely lights a path to making the most complicated ideas very relatable.The Intention Experiment becomes everyone's practicum in discovering the many ways we observe reality through intention, which is the condenser that crystallizes energy into patterns we can see and understand through the physical senses. If we observe these patterns, even under the scrutiny of scientific control, many mysteries of inter-connectivity become apparent.In taking this objective a step further, her book helps us observe behavior of energy and matter through science as an infinite, nonlocal 'experience' within our finite 'experimentality.'
I found the experiments fascinating, engaging and worthy of reflection.and I found reflection on them energizing. The experiments are about whether intention can change outcome or even in one experiment, can change a previously measured reality.
Until the observer focuses his attention on the observed system it exists only as a host of infinite possibilities. The observer observation or measurement "fixes" its reality.
In Quantum theory , "the world" is comprised of two "systems",the system containing the observer and the system containing what is observed. From quantum theory it is almost irresistible to move to a consideration of how intention, rather than mere observation or objective measurement might work in our world and that is what this thought provoking book does.
That is the scientific theory. Hard enough for us mere mortals to grasp or integrate it with what we have been taught.
It explores the power of consciousness and invites readers, through excercises in the book and through the web site to become part of an ongoing living experiment in consciousness. I recommend it enthusiastically for anyone who is at work on increasing their own awareness and trying to live fully present in the moment.
Enjoyed both books by McTaggart. All new.this quantum physics thing. and she has done well to research all top centers on what is happening in this area Did hear of her on Coast to Coast radio.
