In this groundbreaking updated edition of a classic, investigative journalist Lynne McTaggart, describes scientific discoveries that she believes point to a unifying concept of the universe.
That the human mind and body are not separate from their environment but a packet of pulsating power constantly interacting with this vast energy sea, and that consciousness may be central in shaping our world, a world that reconciles mind with matter, classic Newtonian science with quantum physics and, most importantly, science with religion.
At question 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 declares, are a “cobweb of energy exchange” that links everything in the universe; they control everything from cellular communication to the workings of the mind, and they could be utilised 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, inhibited by orthodoxy, they have ignored its effects, which she likens to “subtracting out God” from their equations.
But, McTaggart states, “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.
The Field is a highly readable scientific detective story presenting a stunning picture of an interconnected universe and a new scientific theory that makes sense of supernatural phenomena. Documented by distinguished sources, The Field is a book of hope and inspiration for today’s world.

Your “gut” feelings may be more scientific than you thought! by P. DAVIS (Pisgah Forest, NC United States)

“Lynne McTaggart boldly dives in where few dare to go… the murky, much debated realm between God and Science. In a thoroughly detailed and meticulously researched fashion, she lays open study upon study that point to the possibility of a universal energy source, the “Zero Point Field” as she cites it. This “force” operates on a quantum level of photon vibrations that precedes and supercedes the strict bio-chemical mentality of current science. This book challenges a lot of long held beliefs, including…
*Man is isolated from the world (People are indivisable from their environment)
*The brain is the seat of consciousness (Living consciousness is not an isolated entity)
*The human being is a survival machine powered by genetic coding (Cells and DNA communicate through frequencies)
Perhaps one of the most profound and summarizing statements is McTaggart’s assertion (based on volumous research) that…
“A substructure underpins the universe that is essentially a recording medium of everything, providing a means for everything to communicate with everything else.”
If taken for what it is, the book amounts to the peaceful overthrow of many long held scientific beliefs and models, and establishes a framework that accomodates both science and spirituality. A good read.”

“With an ear for human interest and eye for detail, Lynne McTaggart masterfully tells the true story in THE FIELD of how pioneers in science and consciousness research are working to achieve a more complete understanding of the true nature of reality — an understanding which includes (rather than ignores) consciousness.
THE FIELD describes how scientists have gradually become aware of what appears to be a unifying energy structure in our universe. This “Zero Point Field” provides us with a simpler explanation for how things work than previous overly-complex ideas require. Simplicity in science is a good thing, because it generally indicates which theories will win out as time goes by. The Zero Point Field theory demonstrates it’s elegant simplicity by allowing physicists to derive the famous equation F=ma (rather than take it as a starting assumption), and by helping medical practitioners understand the underlying scientific basis for homeopathy.
Our scientific conceptualization of this universe has changed considerably over the last few centuries and now faces one of the biggest overhauls ever — and THE FIELD demonstrates why the Zero Point Field is likely to be the last frontier for us to explore. THE FIELD is packed with detailed descriptions of some of the most exciting experiments recently conducted by leading researchers in the field of consciousness such as: Cleve Backster, Jacques Benveniste, William Braud, Bob Jahn, Edgar Mitchell, Fritz-Albert Popp, Hal Puthoff, Rupert Sheldrake, Russell Targ, Elisabeth Targ, and Charles Tart.
I give this book my highest recommendation.

“After receiving and ignoring several proddings from others to get this book, I finally yielded after coming across it while researching the issues behind Codex Alimentarius. I’ve read quite a few books on new agey topics starting out with Peter Russel’s The Awakening Earth in 1986, and I prefer those that use a disciplined, logical, and non-sensicial approach, such as Gregg Braden’s The God Code, Dr. Bruce Lipton’s The Biology of Belief, and Dr. David Hawkins’ Power vs Force. So initially I thought “what could a journalist tell me that I already don’t know?” Well it appears quite a lot. The Field is a compelling read which I found quite exciting at times as the retelling of various experiments and discoveries unfolded. The knowledge of these are worth the price alone, but the real value for me comes from the connections Lynne McTaggart makes by pulling these common threads together. That type of astute integration can only be done by someone of great quality, and shows the Author modelling the same positive attributes of the hidden field of consciousness, that is discussed in the book itself.
Excellent value, a must buy.
Daniel John Hancock”
