Overall this book is a paradigm-breaking book for science in that it reveals in some detail a viable larger perspective and framework for scientific description of nature and human evolvement in that framework. It is also a conscious-raising book and a hope-raising book for humanity in that it shows people how to use their own intentionality to bring about...beneficial...changes...in their own bodies. Such changes naturally lead to significant growth in the individual's consciousness.
A truly amazing book that covers quite a bit of science, particularly related to physics, and somehow manages to work in a wide range of topics, like yoga and walking on fire, and ties all of it together. I have never previously read anything by Professor Tiller and, after first thinking the book looked less than fascinating, I have to admit I was completely wrong - this is a great book, held my interest throughout, even when it does get (just a bit) bogged down by actual physics, a lot of which I was much more familiar in college, when I actually took physics. The best part of the book comes at the end, when Tiller writes about the stewardship of our planet, our obligation to help each other make the world a better place. He weaves harmony, religion, the cosmos, all into the book and does it seamlessly. HIGHLY recommend!
I have read a lot of books in recent years on the topics covered in this book, and this is the one book that stands out that has made the most sense to me. The math and heavy physics can be daunting, however, I think it is necessary. The link between consciousness, and the greater world has been shown in multiple ways over the years, but in this book, Tiller really does a great job at laying down a foundation for understanding the relationship between the two. He is humble, and not very dogmatic in this book. He is careful in his words to put forth suggested solutions, and is also very clear when he is speculating out on a limb. The book left me with a lot to consider.
god, why didn't I pay attention in physics class??? After reading this, I still feel this way. Great book, but as soon as the "math" is thrown in, I have flashbacks to high school. It bothers me that I don't have a clear understanding of this book.. because I really want to!!!!
