The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe - The Field

Fantastic! The author, not being a scientist, is able to put this very complex information in understandable, practical terms. It is one of the best books I have read on this subject, and it is a subject that fascinates me. I highly recommend it.

Lynne McTaggart has done the, seemingly, impossible. She has made Quantum Physics Research and the resulting Earth shaking conclusions understandable and enjoyable for the layman. Her work, THE FIELD; THE QUEST FOR THE SECRET FORCE OF THE UNIVERSE explores the facinating realm of the very small to the vastness of the incomprehensibly large and she does it with style, wit, and an eye for detail. Read it. Learn from it, then, get the sequel and change everything that you thought you knew about reality. The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World

I loved this book. It confirmed for me, another perspective, the "field", which I had previously heard about but hadn't seen any real data to quantify it. McTaggert shares stories of many scientists who through their own and others experiments have come to believe there is more out there than we can see. I highly recommend this book.

This was one of the most Enlightenings of Thoughts Yet, for those people/humans who have doubts of Our Magnificent
Purpose Of Being. This is great for children to listen to. The Best In All. Truthful

I recommend this book to everyone. If you want to know what's happening on the frontiers of science and are not willing to hear it from horse & buggy scientists, read this.

This is very interesting and got me looking up quantum physics to find out what it is all about.
It is sometimes difficult to understand. I have to read a little at a time and then take time to
think about it before going on. I haven't reached the end yet. It is an ongoing project.

This was excellent for several reasons. First, it is written in language that is both interesting and intelligible for non-physicists. Second, it offers at least speculative answers on many of the questions that are left unanswered by some of the latest developments and assumptions in science, however valid they may be. Third, it offers a foundation to bridge some of the insights of science, psychology, and theology.

"The Field" is a wonderfully documented review of current science in the paranormal arena that will cause you to question Newtonian science and many other scientific beliefs. It's not that the mechanistic sciences aren't true or valid - but there's so much more, as this book tells you.

This book captured my attention, front to back. Wonderfully descriptive, well researched. I could not put it down and continue to reference it for inspiration. Want proof that prayer works? It's in there... and so much more.

Is this book scientifically sound? Probably not. I have no idea. It was pretty convincing when I read it but who knows. A lot of it seems to be unproven and wishy-washy based on additional research I did into the experiments mentioned in the book. However, I think the general idea that there is some sort of scientific explanation for what we think of as "magic" and "psychics" is a good way to think. I think divorcing magic and science is a folly and any book that tries to find some way to explain their connection, no matter how shoddy the research is, is at least doing something good in my opinion. I don't think this book is a definitive answer for magic=science but it does make me want to go out there and seek more information and always be critical, and to appreciate magic in a way that is not inharmonious with science. Maybe this book will be the stepping stone for someone else to come up with a better book in the same vein. Hopefully we'll get closer and closer to the truth. It was a fun read anyway.

Informative. I have learned a lot about little known scientific studies and the field they possibly point to. Most of us have a feeling of an overarching power. It has been interpreted from the beginning of time as many different entities.

Thoroughly distilled for the lay person, Lynne McTaggart takes us through the last few decades in terms of quantum physics research and how that information - while ridiculed by mainstream science - can benefit the whole host of mankind.

All sorts of experiments, from different researchers, all over the world which collectively prove the existence of a quantum field which connects all things. The experiments and research speak for themselves and I highly recommend the book to anyone who is interested in psychic phenomenon, quantum physics, and how the two intermingle.

McTaggart theorizes that the "Zero Point Field" - or the base energy field that permeates everything - is the main unifying force for all matter and life in this book. Best described as fringe science, McTaggart explores biology, healing and disease, ESP, projection, time and space travel, random events, prayer, and other controversial or difficult to explain phenomena, and uses the Zero Point Field (ZPF) as the basis for the ability of these occurances - as "we are all energy" and therefore tie into and are part of the Field.

McTaggart doesn't integrate the ZPF theory well with her various physical, metaphysical and paranormal case studies. Like her hypothesis - the ZPF sits in the background, while she relies on other scientific experiments to show that these unusual things exist. She then says, essentially, that all the unexplained phenomena is due to the ZPF tying everything together kind of as a blanket statement.

The case studies themselves are relatively famous, controversial, and at the fringes of accepted science - but are interesting reads in and of themselves - and will make the reader think and question their perceptions of reality.

I like how the author researched and reported to develop the theme. I got a lot of perspective from The Field as though it added quite a few pieces to the puzzle of understanding what is going on at the core.

Fascinating to read about the number, and results of, studies performed which quantify the subconscious power of the human mind. While I disagreed with a few of Lynn's conclusions, I could only do so because she provided the background and factual results from which to form my own opinion. A little cumbersome at times, then bouncing anxiously between studies, the story, in the end, brought the threads together in reasonable conclusion.

I bought this book after watching the I AM documentary, which I also purchased. I believe this book to hold the truths of the universe & humanity. It isn't too complicated for a non scientific person to read & comprehend.

For the non- scientist, this is an excellent review of important information and summarized quite well. She was able to keep it interesting without going on her own tangents. She made it just personal enough to engage without making it too long. I was impressed and grateful.

This book does deal with an interesting and difficult subject, the zero point field, and does a pretty good job overall. It is clear that Lynn McTaggart is actually a journalist, and seems at times to be writing headlines in a journalistic expose using sky rocketing adjectives to underscore the earth-shattering importance of her subject. Still, when she isn't going into excessive detail about the personal lives and history of her favorite underdog scientists, she does get to some interesting points about the zero point field and it's fascinating implications to the mind, body, and consciousness. A lot of the book deals with parapsychological studies and ESP, and it is here things get a bit new agey, but not uninteresting. It seems a good book overall with a few flaws.

I bought this based on Dave Wilcocks Force Book..
McTaggert's coverage uis superior.. & thought provoking. I got the Hard Cover 1st. but got this one
for an MD's coy, so he could re-evaluate the the DNA Ultra-violet response of healthy vs Cancer Cells;
which should be used by all Oncologists/ Also hidden was her coverage of the Eye cells which
trigger turning on Melatonin.. for sleep & also to assist in cleaning up bad, or old DNA cells.

Plus good coverage of several Russian 'Field" results, including restarting Plant cells after
Russian nuclear waste.. to restart seeds to repopulate their wasteland areas.
+ so much more !

I was fascinated by the discussion of the "Field" that surrounds us all and fills the universe. The author is a good reporter, and I was convinced by her presentation. However, that being said, I was disappointed in the ending. It left me wanting more closure. There has to be more than where she left off. I realize that she is basically a reporter, but didn't she come to some conclusions of her own, as well?. Also, the fact that she never met face to face with the scientists she interviewed would seem to be a limiting factor to her data base. I wish this discourse would continue into the present.

I suggest prerequisite readings to anyone who really wants to get the most out of this extremely well written book. You need to understand the basics of quantum mechanics. For that, first read Gary Zukav's masterpiece "The Dancing Wu Li Masters" followed by Fritov Capra's "The Tao of Physics." The latter covers the same basic principles but from a perspective that adds to overall understanding. Follow these with Amit Goswami's masterpiece, "Physics of the Soul." All three books are written for laypeople. You really need to understand quantum physics for yourself to believe it's incredible implications which McTaggert discusses so well. On the other hand, if you read "The Field" with no understanding of QP, you might not appreciate how very "real" are the amazing things discussed in this book. Castaneda fans will instantly realize that Carlos "knew" regardless of whether or not Don Juan was real.

I really enjoyed the topics presented and found the bulk of the information presented caused me to sit and think about many areas of science and our perception of reality. I'm not sure if it was this aspect or the writing style, but I found it took quite a while to get through the book. (I don't think of this as a negative, just a comment.) An important read for scientists in all fields - and those who wonder what it is all about.
