Fascinating July 16, 2008
Although written for the lay man, this book does take some concentration for those of us who have never studied physics. That said, it is well worth the effort. A fascinating read that will make you look at life, the world and the whole universe in a completely new way

wrong end of the trumpet...hmm? July 1, 2008

I came across this book some years ago and, with a grounding in arts and only a couple of years of very elementary science, I cannot possibly comment on the current veracity of the ideas in it. The word 'science' is somewhat misleading deriving as it does from the Latin 'to know' whereas 'to guess' would provide a more honest root to this ever changing discipline.

It is some time since I read McTaggart but I recall it was an intersting read which triggered a tentative foray into Quantum Theory which sounded to me pretty much what the ancients and mystics had 'known' all along - although from my point of view McT was looking at things down the wrong end of the trumpet.

What Quantum seems to tell us is that there are no absolutes and that our thoughts, emotions and intentions form our experience of the 'material world'. Those still hooked on the idea of an 'absolute' (as I understand even Einstein was - spending the rest of his life trying to disprove his equation) will find refuge in religion of one sort or another... including science which has, for many, replaced older faiths.

So... having written this review of the book and talked it up, I suppose I'd better read it again to see if I agree with myself. Hey, ho...

Interesting, but not a particularly easy read May 13, 2008

This book is full of interesting information, and cutting edge ideas based on new research into physics. However, I found it quite hard-going at times - the author's style isn't particularly readable. I often had to grit my teeth in determination just to make it to the end of a chapter - and unfortunately I gave up about two-thirds way through the book. I think this would be a great book in the hands of a more entertaining writer.

The Field on CD March 25, 2008

I opted to purchase the Field on CD and I loved every word! What was more for someone like me who knows little of Quantum Physics but am eager to understand it, I found that I understood the book (CD) completely.

As a Reiki healer used to receiving and sending distant healing I was thrilled to learn how this is achieved. The book impressed me so much that I am currently ordering extra copies for my family and friends. Everyone should know about this. It should be taught in schools and I hope in time that it will be so that positive thinking will heal our earth and all those who live on it both man and beast.
It didn't just change my life, it made sense of things I've pondered fr some time.
Thank you Lynne, you did a great job with this book, as well as with The Intention Experiment.

Lynne McTaggart gives a very detailed picturesc and journalistic coverage of these extremely interesting experiments. It does cover the same old subjects as some other books that are around at the moment but it is relatively unbiased and very clear about them. It is left entirely for the reader to decide what to make of the facts. What I make of it so far is that if 99.9% of the universe is made of 'dark matter' and 99.9% of matter is empty space, and all empty space is thoroughly ridden with 'virtual' particles, that arise from fluctuations in the 'zero-point energy field', only to anihilate each other almost immediately after coming into being, then what else could this 'dark matter' be, if not the combined mass of this unimagineably vast number of 'virtual' particles that exist temporarily everywhere all the time? It would explain why they've not found any yet. This book gives full details of experiments in psychokinesis, remote viewing, and precognition/premonition, and advice that anyone doing these experiments themselves can pick up on. The amount of research that has gone into this book makes it a real gem, even if you have already read other books on the same subject.
