[Taylor Ellwood]

This is intriguing book that explores Modern Physics from a perspectives of dimensions. The author provides some compelling and thought provoking arguments about consciousness and the idea that physical reality is an experience of immaterial dimensions that are combined by consciousness into an experience that people can understand. I also like that the author includes mass as a dimension that impacts the space and time dimensions. The author does, on occasion, provide some fuzzy definition, such as what he uses to explain image, but he is dealing with some complex ideas and he does his best to present those ideas soundly. He does his best to make the book accessible to a layperson, while also providing enough depth to do the material justice.

I think I need to re-read this one. Listening to this at triple speed in audiobook form didn't give me a chance to mull over the mind-boggling concepts presented. I think I would have been able to follow it better if taken more slowly since none of the physics presented was anything I do not have a solid foundation in. I wasn't too sure what the author was trying to prove in this book...I guess just what the title says? Immaterialism? In any case, this is a nice combination of physics and philosophy, so nice that I don't think it would scare any hard-core scientists away.

This is a very small book, but it was a difficult read for me. Rewarding, but difficult. Mass as a dimension -- ok. Consciousness as the ground of being and light as a dimension. Ok.

For me, I could have used more metaphor, it was a tad too concise.
