Product Description

This book will inspire you to question what you've heard from the scientific experts about how the universe works and what role we play in it. For centuries, science has believed that matter is king, and the job of scientist is to measure interactions of matter, not consciousness. Based on revolutionary new developments in physics and neuroscience, including his own groundbreaking research, Dr. Farwell challenges this view. Using impeccable scientific techniques, he has proven in the laboratory that consciousness plays a commanding role in the universe. Dr. Larry Farwell (Bio) Dr. Larry Farwell is a Harvard educated former Harvard faculty member who is currently chief scientist of the Human Brain Research Laboratory. As a neuroscientist, he has conducted and published pioneering research on the interaction of consciousness and matter at the quantum-mechanical level. The well-known physicist Dr. George Farwell (his father) collaborated in this research. Dr. Larry Farwell invented a direct brain-to-computer communication system using electrical brain activity. He discovered the technique of Brain Fingerprinting to identify criminals and clear innocent suspects by measuring brain-wave responses to relevant words or pictures presented on a computer screen. CBS Evening News, ABC World News, CNN Headline News, the Discovery Channel, the New York Times, the Washington Post, US News and World Report, and television, radio, newspapers, and magazines throughout the world have featured Dr. Farwell and his discoveries. Dr. Farwell's personal philosophy is that anything is possible. He sees his scientific research as a process of discovering the unlimited possibilities available for human life. He believes that the goal of life is the full development and complete integration of mind, heart, body, and spirit. In addition to his BA, MA, and PhD in neuroscience, he is a qualified Transcendental Meditation teacher and has a black belt in kung fu.

The Metaphysical Guide for Analytical Skeptics
This is like the Idiot's Guide to the Universal Law of Attraction, only you're NOT an idiot if you read it and certainly don't need to be a genius to understand it.

The book jumps straight to the chase and covers experiments that lend insight into the powerful connection between the mind and matter. If you've watched the movie, "What the Bleep?" then consider this the book to go with it. If you've read Joe Vitale's "Attractor Factor" or Wayne Dyer's "Power of Intention" then you'll appreciate this book more than you can imagine.

If you read those titles and felt skeptical, this is the book that may push you from the fence. I purchased it at the suggestion of two friends who said the same thing ... "Most books TALK about how mindset can affect our reality, this book PROVES it."

I'm not sure it proves it beyond a doubt, but only beyond whatever doubts YOU allow.

If I have anything negative to say, it's only due to a personal bias. The author seems to overstep himself a bit in the end, painting a universal scheme and elevating himself to the status of mystical guru when we were so comfortable enjoying the journey with him as the analytical scientist. He has a strong affinity to Transcendental Meditation that clearly shows, and I believe this brings too much bias into the conclusion (my own bias is against this as the perfect, ultimate solution as it is claimed to be in the book).

Overall, very strong and powerful reading right up to the last chapters ... then, it makes a sharp turn into ideas that simply don't seem to flow with the rest of the text.

It was intriguing enough that I read it cover to cover when it arrived, and will return to it often when I begin doubting my own power to manifest my life.

Science meets metaphysics
Liked this book alot even though it wasn't completely without flaws. The front section and back sections of the book were very good with some weakness in the middle part. My main problems with the middle were it gets bogged down somewhat in scientific history and repeats scientific experiments such as the quantum slit wave/particle test which have been rehashed to death in numerous other books of this type (although a first timer might get more out of it). The book does a great job of making the metaphysics-science connnection while discussing the Theory of relativity and Quantum physics. Better than most I've read that have made the same effort. For those looking for a book that blows your mind in cementing the metaphysics-science connection, I recommend it
