Product Description

Science has recently begun to prove what ancient myth and religion have always espoused: There may be such a thing as a life force.

Lynne McTaggart, indefatigable investigative journalist, reveals a radical new biological paradigm -- that on our most fundamental level, the human mind and body are not distinct and separate from their environment but a packet of pulsating power constantly interacting with this vast energy sea.

The Field is a highly readable scientific detective story that offers a stunning picture of an interconnected universe and a new scientific theory that makes sense of supernatural phenomena. Original, well researched, and well documented by distinguished sources, The Field is a book of hope and inspiration for today's world.

From Publishers Weekly
McTaggart, an investigative journalist (What Doctors Don't Tell You), describes scientific discoveries that she believes point to a unifying concept of the universe, one that reconciles mind with matter, classic Newtonian science with quantum physics and, most importantly, science with religion. At issue is the zero point field, the so-called "dead space" of microscopic vibrations in outer space as well as within and between physical objects on earth. These fields, McTaggart asserts, are a "cobweb of energy exchange" that link everything in the universe; they control everything from cellular communication to the workings of the mind, and they could be harnessed for unlimited propulsion fuel, levitation, ESP, spiritual healing and more. Physicists have been aware of the likelihood of this field for years, McTaggart writes, but, constrained by orthodoxy, they have ignored its effects, which she likens to "subtracting out God" from their equations. But, McTaggart asserts, "tiny pockets of quiet rebellion" against scientific convention are emerging, led by Ed Mitchell, an Apollo 14 astronaut and founder of the Institute for Noetic Sciences, an alternative-science think tank. McTaggart writes well and tells a good story, but the supporting data here is somewhat sketchy. Until it materializes, McTaggart may have to settle for being a voice in the wilderness.

Customer Reviews

The Fieldis staggering in its scope.
With a little imagination and a lot of scientific corroboration, THE FIELD gives a unifying model for life and its relationship with the universe and ultimately with the life force called God.

Good Book
Good book, very detailed.
If your concern is scientific experiments, documented proof and results - this is the one for you.
If you already believe in the filed and want to learn how top use it - this is not the one for you.

Underpinning the future
If you are interested in the future (and we all should be) read this book. It is one of those books that makes you realise that everything you were ever taught at school, and a lot of what you learned after school, was pretty much a waste of time, because life is simply not the way they said (and are still saying today). The Field provides a wealth of scientific evidence that supports a view of life that many people suspect (somewhere deep in their consciousness), but few have been able to put their finger on. The more you understand what is written in this book the more you recognise that society is at a pivotal point, not because of the environmental crisis, nor the financial crisis, nor any global security crises. Radical change is on the horizon because our understanding of life itself is changing. This is the most profound change we can imagine and this is the most exciting time to be alive in the history of human life.
