Summary: A truly mystic book
Review: A truly amazing book. although i found this book a little hard to understand but once i got used to the language i found it very interesting. It says "world is an illusion' and through different philisophical and physical phenomenon has proven it to be correct ( atleast to me). a really good bokk the reader has to wear the writers shoes in order to understand it and enjoy it to its fullest

Summary: A journey
Review: Talbot opens the book with an introduction that gives the reader some idea of where he's going. The first several chapters lay down a quick ground work, introducing the reader to the old physics' universal precepts. He then goes into what new areas of quantum research are uncovering and postulating, and ties it in with mostly eastern mystical thought: Tantra, Buddhism, and the in-betweens. He makes references to specific cases, specific theories, and specific thinkers, past and present. The work is overall well written and well cited, very coherent and unesoteric. I recommend the book to anyone looking for an explaination for what they can't explain and who is not satisfied with occidental mythoi.

Summary: 10,000 Years Worth Of Mystics Cant Be Wrong
Review: this book likes to do the same thing over and over again. tell you about some bizarre concept that mystics have had for thousands of years, and then tell you that the new physics backs up those concepts. you keep thinking, 'maybe this time physics will be completely at odds with this bizarre concept.' but no. so as you can see it gets kind of predictable. but maybe ive given away too much. oh well, i might as well tell you a little more while im at it. none of this is real. so why does it seem real? what exactly is it that seems real but in reality is not? what is real if anything? and what is it that thinks its perceiving reality? and this process of thinking, is it real? and this word process, is it valid? or does its implication that time is passing destroy its validity? all these questions are raised, answered, explained why they are not valid questions and then dismissed. TRUTHTRUTHTRUTHTRUTHTRUTHTRUTHTRUTH. read up children. youll either find new wonders all around you or kill yourself or turn into pure energy.

Summary: a classic
Review: very challenging, stimulating and ultimately satisfying dialogue that nicely coalesces with the seminal works of such great writers as Alan Watts, Fritjof Capra and Robert Anton Wilson.

The science versus spirituality "conflict" dissipates into thin air with each elegantly written page of this wonderful book.
