Comment l'exploiter à chaque instant ? La physique quantique a révélé une autre réalité, fondée sur le bien-être plutôt que le matérialisme, un pouvoir qui serve au lieu d'asservir, une éducation qui libère au lieu d'enchaîner, et une prise en charge de la santé qui restaure la globalité de l'être humain dans son environnement. Dans cet ouvrage révolutionnaire, Lothar Schäfer, scientifique renommé, nous invite à atteindre de nouveaux sommets en matière de développement personnel et d'accomplissement spirituel grâce à une nouvelle compréhension du monde mystérieux de la physique quantique. Riche de son expérience, il nous explique de manière claire et accessible le potentiel infini de la physique quantique et à quel point les nouvelles découvertes en la matière peuvent changer notre vie et nous conduire vers un monde meilleur. Il nous montre comment ces phénomènes peuvent élargir notre compréhension de la nature de la conscience et des relations qui existent entre la science, notre âme, notre comportement moral, et nos vies mentales et émotionnelles. Ce qu'il nous révèle transformera la relation que nous avons avec notre propre conscience corps et esprit, mais aussi avec la société dans son ensemble.
Not so informative; lacks coherence. The central idea is clear that quantum physics' "Schrodinger's" wave function is just a mathematical expression that is void of energy or space (transempirical). But Shafer doesn't in any way explain what other alternative ideas might there be to interpret this phenomenon. And he doesn't also explain why that realm of the "wave function" can resemble the thoughts in our minds, except for the fact that they exist as potentiality. Although I think that thoughts are not potential states since they at least have electrical activity associated with them in the brain even though they're not yet expressed in the outer world as deeds. Many questions pop into mind while reading this book and no answers can be found between the pages. The book could have been more useful if more theories were introduced or more details were taken into consideration in explaining the realm of potentiality or quantum jumps.
I really enjoyed Lothar's discussion of our potential and how it relates to quantum physics. I also found interesting his thoughts on how the paradigm of Darwinism has impacted our modern society. I am not sure I fully agree with all that he says in that regard, but I do agree that it has had a significant influence on how society thinks about the issues it faces. While this book is not a faith based book, I also found this book provides some interesting insights into quantum physics application to our spiritual lives and to God. As a member of the Mormon faith I found many of the ideas and concepts presented in this book align with my understanding of God and the universe. It is always gratifying to find elements of your beliefs in unexpected and surprising domains.
I read a lot of books about physics, even though I'm not a physicist or any kind of scientist. I believe such books open the mind, and this one shows that the mind, like quantum physics (actually part of quantum physics), can be open to anything possible. In a nutshell, that's what Schafer says: anything possible will happen, and the universe is programmed to make it happen right. So don't fear or fret, just explore the potentialities. They are bound to ultimately be good.
A very good read :) A big, fat fascinating and scientifically based finger pointing at the same moon all the so-called spiritual ones have been pointing at for thousands of years. Or why science is playing catch-up... and having a hard time admitting it despite clear numbers and logic. There may not be a lot to 'know' but there's sure a lot to suspect, with giant implications for all of us.
Not so informative and useful as I expected. I believe there are some other books out there about the connection of quantum physics and human mind that are more fun and useful.
The author expertly explains the quantum world for the lay person and illustrates how quantum science and spirituality are two parallel and consistent ways of understanding the nature of reality. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to better understand these seemingly incomprehensible and intriguing topics. The author’s ideas are an important contribution to help us fulfill our potential and live in accordance with the order of this mysterious and meaningful universe.
Infinite Potential is more than a book, it’s a brave exploration of the meeting point between science and spirituality. I admire Lothar Schäfer’s willingness to stand out in the scientific community and speak on subjects that so few dare to touch. His writing is both brilliant and accessible, inviting readers to expand the way they see reality. What a wonderful man, and what a loss — his voice and vision are truly missed.
"...the quantum phenomena have taught me that atheism is a mistake because it isn’t in agreement with the nature of the world."
"Because of their recent discovery the messages of the new physics have never really been accepted in the public domain."
"Darwin’s biology is, like Newton’s physics, a surface science. It describes the visible phenomena on the surface of reality quite well, but it isn’t able to get to the roots of things."
It is quotes like these that make Schafer's book worth reading. They are supported by the evidence. When I read Schafer's first book "In Search of Divine Reality," I was looking for philosophical discussions based on quantum physics. He provides plenty of that so I rated the book highly. From those valid discussions he develops ideas of monism, cosmic consciousness, infinite mind and a holistic "One." All is One and One is all. Its a combination of ancient pagan and modern new age beliefs.
If a cosmic consciousness created the universe, then why isn't it also a personal being? Can it be less than, or merely equal to its creation? Does it need us to be able to think?
The book is thought provoking, but you could probably find it on one of Oprah's bookshelves.
now I'm an open minded lady, i'll read just about anything. And I picked this up on a whim. Chopra's intro was especially seductive. And Schafer manages to explain some concepts about the movements of electrons that really worked for me, i finally understood a part of high school chemistry that has always eluded me. But towards the end of the book he hammers on about what he refers to as 'Darwinism' and 'Darwinists' as being the worst of the lot in humanity, and all i could picture in my mind was sweet Charles Darwin with his white beard studying worms at the end of his life. I've read so many bios of Darwin, and i suspect that there never was a kinder gentler more interesting man. I could understand what Schafer meant, but I wish he had found a different term. He did make some caveats several times that what HE believes Darwin's 'survival of the fittest' theories have evolved into was not what Darwin intended, and I wish he had gone one step further and taken Darwin right out of the argument. So, interesting, but ended up leaving me dissatisfied by heavy handedness towards the end.
I had a biology professor in college who said that someday science and religion would agree because both in their honest forms were in pursuit of truth. Lothar Schafer shows how the Darwinian view of man leads human behaviour to atheism, greed and many of the ills people complain about. He talks of how quantum physics shows the world to be connected and promotes cooperation over competition. He states that the ingrained philosophy of man as a disconnected animal, fighting for survival is in direct contrast to the quantum world. If one believes in the interconnectivity of the quantum world then one looks for the power of the universe and tries to align with it. He does not claim any organized religion but it's amazing how many of the world religions talk about bringing one's actions and will into alignment with the divine.
How does your life change if you stop thinking of yourself as a single organism awash in a sea of detritus and think of yourself as a small part of a greater whole which has a purpose of improving?
Have you ever heard expressions like "books find their readers", "a book will come to you when your ready for it", etc.?
This book definitely found me!
Infinite Potential had a cathartic effect on me - it connected and revived my long abandoned spiritual exploration efforts with the mundane nature of my everyday life.
One of the ideas in the book is that human civilization might be undergoing a metamorphosis of consciousness, towards a state of integrated consciousness. That is exactly how i feel after reading it - I feel my spirit and mind as a whole for the first time. I feel that I have made a first step, I have started an irreversible chain reaction, and Im deeply excited about the direction its taking.
Thank you Lothar Schafer for the book and Deepak Chopra for sparking it into the existence!
I would suggest the author write a prequel- "Infinite Potential for Dummies". The best and most hopeful part of the book was the title. I read a full 60 pages. Many of them more than once. The part of the book I tried to read was teaching us about moving from A to B. "A" being something and "B" being numbers. So you had to go from matter to numbers. Transform the matter to a numeral. It was just that clear. :D I found myself scanning over words like atoms, neutrons, protons, nucleus, waves, ET, toward pages 57-60. Could not get into this book at all, which is sad because I'm sure I totally agreed w/ the point the author was trying to make. It's a strange twist of irony- Giving up on a book called "Infinite Potential".
I am eternally grateful for this scientific documentation of what I have believed from a Spiritual perspective for sometime. If you are concerned about the direction national and global events are moving this is a "must read." Dr. Schafer lays out a clear and concise explanation with excellent diagrams how the Cosmos is inviting all of us to use our inner infinite potential to live productively as we discover our purpose in life.
Totally fascinating although a little hard going at times. Great and interesting subject and idea's and a fantastic way to think about our minds and how they might relate to the universe.
The absolute crap that fills these pages isn't worth any more of my time. I'm only writing this review to warn others about wasting their lives on this tome of hocus-pocus smegma.
