(For more information, see www.activeconsciousness.com.)Endorsem... for Active “Amy Lansky leads us on an inspiring and thought-provoking romp through a panoply of portals to our higher dimensional selves. She's an entertaining travel guide to the minds of great scientists, mystics, and philosophers as she argues convincingly that we really can bring the improbable futures we want for ourselves into reality. Let her alter your consciousness and take you higher!”—Jane Katra, author of The Heart of the Mind and Miracles of Mind (www.janekatra.org)“This is a delightful book. Well written and intensely packed with interesting information. It made my head spin—in a good way!”—Dean Radin, author of The Conscious Universe and Entangled Minds (www.deanradin.com)“Amy Lansky's new book is an inspiring and far-ranging investigation of contemporary consciousness research. In her program to spare us from the madness around us, she draws on Rudolf Steiner, Gurdjieff, Rupert Sheldrake, Dean Radin, and many others. She is also encouraging us to explore the transformation of our consciousness as a way to increase our peace of mind, happiness, and what the Buddhists call liberation from the wheel of suffering. Who would not want that?”—Russell Targ, author of Limitless A Guide to Remote Viewing and Transformation of Consciousness (www.espresearch.com)“Though the topic is vast, Amy Lansky has created a work that is accessible and engaging. Using examples from her own life and experiences, she uses the narrative to deftly guide the reader through the worlds of unexplained phenomena, alternative medicine, and meditative practice. Grounded both in science and mystic tradition, her book is an inspiring invitation to explore the portals to higher consciousness for yourself."—Judy Kitt, President, Foundation for Mind-Being Research (www.fmbr.org)

About the author
Amy L. Lansky
11 books9 followersAmy Lansky grew up in a suburb of Buffalo, New York. She graduated from the University of Rochester in 1977 with degrees in mathematics and computer science, and she received her doctorate in computer science from Stanford University in 1983.
After many years working at various Silicon Valley research institutions (including SRI International, NASA Ames Research Center, and three years as a consulting associate professor at Stanford), Lansky made an unusual career move: she became a student, writer and promoter of homeopathic medicine. This was prompted by the miraculous cure of her son's autism with homeopathy. This experience prompted her to write Impossible Cure: The Promise of Homeopathy (www.impossiblecure.com), now one of the best-selling introductory books about homeopathy worldwide, with translations into several foreign languages. Lansky is dedicated to helping others -- especially families with autistic children -- discover the curative powers of homeopathy.
Lansky's homeopathic studies have included foundational course work with Misha Norland's School of Homeopathy in Devon, England; completion of the Homeopathic Master Clinician's course with Louis Klein; and studies with Simon Taffler, Sadhna Thakkar, Jan Scholten, and Alize Timmerman. For two years she served as coeditor of The American Homeopath, the journal of the North American Society of Homeopaths.
In December 2003, Lansky joined the board of the National Center for Homeopathy in Alexandria, Virginia and served on the board executive until 2011. She also helped to found and was an executive board member of the California Health Freedom Coalition from 2001-2005. This is the organization that sponsored SB-577, the California health freedom bill that was passed in September 2002. As part of this legislative process, Lansky testified before a California Senate hearing on alternative medicine.
Much of Lansky's current work involves promoting homeopathy through lectures, interviews, and columns, and providing general guidance and referrals to parents through email. She does not, however, treat patients herself. Lansky's monthly radio show on homeopathy can be found on Autism One Radio (aired the third Friday of each month). This show provides an excellent and free short course for those wishing to learn more about homeopathy. It can be found at www.autismone.org or via www.impossiblecure.com.
www.impossiblecure.com also includes a link to newsletters, the "Cure Stories" database that provides first-person testimonials of other people's experiences with homeopathy, an advice page for parents with autistic children, and pointers to practitioner referrals.
In 2011, Amy Lansky published her second book:
Active Consciousness: Awakening the Power Within (www.activeconsciousness.com), now one of the most exciting, far-ranging, and accessible books available on the topic of consciousness, spirituality, meditation, and the evolution of human awareness. It draws upon Lansky's interest in paranormal phenomena, her expertise in alternative medicine, her meditation studies, and even her research experience in artificial intelligence. Comprehensive, yet at the same time accessible and personal, this book invites you to not only learn about these mysterious subjects, but to develop the power of active consciousness for yourself. By including a series of exercises and experiments in meditation and self-inquiry, Active Consciousness provides an experience that helps readers evolve to a new level of awareness.

For the more calculated spiritualist

This book was fun to peruse through slowly over a long period of time. At points it got a little bit too esoteric for my tastes and I only found a few things that I could really apply to my life. It being a few years now since I've read it, only one or two things really stand out in my memory- hence the taking away of two stars.
A good book to peruse through, not a crucial read.
