Product Description
A study of the new scientific understanding of consciousness and the mind as a fifth dimension of reality • Introduces the existence of a fifth dimension--one of mind--an inner- or hyperspace where time is transcended • Shows how the barrier of the speed of light is actually a gateway demarking the fifth dimension Since the introduction of Descartes’ dualism in the seventeenth century, the mind and the physical world have been viewed as disconnected entities. Yet qualities of mind such as awareness, purposeful action, organization, design, and even decision-making are present within the structure of matter and within the dimensions of space and time. The space-time continuum of scientists generally ignores the realm of the mind, though phenomena such as imaginary numbers, used by Einstein to combine space with time, are concepts that only exist in the mind. Marc Seifer contends that the inadequacy of four-dimensional models to account for our experience of mental phenomena points to the consciousness of the mind as a higher organizing principle, a fifth dimension where thoughts are as real and quantifiable as our familiar physical world. He shows that because thought enables us to move backward and forward through time--reflecting on the past and making plans for the future--this fifth dimension of mind breaks the laws of relativity, thereby transcending the speed of light. His extensive study of this fifth dimension ranges from relativity and ether theory to precognition, telepathy, and synchronicity, all from the perspective of the conscious universe. |

Fantastic, recommended by Kenneth L. Kamins (Los Angeles, CA)  5 Stars
November 30, 2008
Seifer, Ph.D makes the case for consciousness and intelligent design in the universe simple and virtually indisputable. Furthermore, he gathers togeether a diverse range of thinkers from obscure occultists to the greatest scientists in history to reveal how truly fantastic existence is. This book provides a comprehensive glimpse into the cutting-edge of modern consciousness research and experimental physics and how they relate to such fascinating topics as astrology, synchronicity, precognition, the imaginal/subtle realms, and more.

Very "heady" stuff by Steve Borsher (South of Boston, MA USA)  4 Stars
November 09, 2008
Very thought provoking. Even if you do not agree with some of the proferences, there is a wealth of cohesive information on theories and philosophies about life and the universe compiled together in here that is not available together in anything else of its type that I have previously read or seen.

Bound to Become a Metaphysical Classic by Lilly 5 Stars
October 08, 2008
After listening to Marc Seifer on Coast to Coast I decided to get his book. As a lay reader, since I could follow what he was saying on he radio, I was hoping that his book would not get too technical and I wasn't disappointed. Seifer begins his book with a definition of the word consciousness and makes the case that if it is defined as a form of awareness, then elementary particles are aware because, to put it simply, electrons like protons and are not too keen on other electrons. Thus, if consciousness permeates the very fabric of the elementary particles, when they are combined in special ways, as found in one-celled organisms who are attracted to the Sun and later in the human brain, the ability to become conscious is an unbroken chain from organized matter to thinking man. Where man differs from the other animals is that he is conscious of being conscious.
But Seifer also discusses the term teleology, which is essentially goal directed behavior. Certain forms of matter take into account the future. For instance, snowflakes have a crystalline structure which gives them stability, trees are constructed so that they bend in the wind, squirrels bury acorns to plan for the winter. This all sets the stage for a deeper understanding of precognition, the human ability to glean the future.
Seifer is saying that if we look at the model that the physicists have created, people like Einstein talk about an "observer" but the physicists never deal with the MIND of the observer as a force in and of itself. Seifer wants to expand the 4-dimensional world designed by Einstein with 3 dimensions of space (height, width and depth) and 1 of time to 5 dimensions. The extra dimension would be that of mind or inner space. Just as one can move outward into infinity, one can move inward into infinity as well, in the realm of mind. There, for instance, he talks about something called a "probability future" where potential futures exist. Those that are seen in advance that come true are seen as precognition. Many probability futures, however, never come to fruition. Bob Dole, was president of the United States of America in something called the "hall of future probabilities" but never achieved this in the physical world. The point is, the mental world (of hyper or inner space) is vast and can be tapped by human minds, thus the fifth dimension.
And this is only one aspect of this amazing book. Seifer also covers synchronicity, holographic models for the universe, ether theory and new theories on gravity where he describes Tesla's theories and how they better explain the link between ether, gravity, electromagnetism and even the elusive Higgs boson or "God particle" that physicists are looking for at CERN. Seifer also has a section on tachyonic (faster than light speed) realms. I have underlined so much of this wonderful book that I know I will have to go back and re-read it. In short, I think this is an amazing metaphysical tour de force and simply a must read.

| Quantum Enigma: Physics Encounters Consciousness
by Bruce Rosenblum (Author), Fred Kuttner (Author)
In trying to understand the atom, physicists built quantum mechanics and found, to their embarrassment, that their theory intimately connects consciousness with the physical world. Quantum Enigma explores what that implies and why some founders of the theory became the foremost objectors to it. Authors Bruce Rosenblum and Fred Kuttner explain all of this in non-technical terms with help from some fanciful stories and anecdotes about the theory's developers. They present the quantum mystery...

| Healing the Rift: Bridging the Gap Between Science and Spirituality
by Leo Kim (Author)
Science attempts to explain the world without a creator, spirit or design, constantly seeking new information with which to test its theories. Spirituality holds that the most important aspects of the world are beyond human comprehension. It labels this realm "spirit," "soul," and "God." Who is right? Are humans simply a cluster of cells that eventually dies? Is there a greater plan? Leo Kim asked himself these questions again and again. As a scientist developing new drugs for the treatment of...

| My Inventions The Autobiography of Nikola Tesla
by Nikola Tesla (Author)
Nikola Tesla has been called the most important man of the twentieth century. Certainly he contributed more to the field of electricity, radio, and television than any other person living or dead. Ultimately he died alone and impoverished having driven all of his friends away through his neurotic and eccentric behavior. Tesla was never able to fit into the world that he found himself in. This autobiography, originally serialized in Electrical Experimenter, is an intensely fascinating glimpse...
