Power Vs. Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior

by David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D.

Book Proposes Comprehensive Method to Evaluating Information

Hawkins, a psychiatrist and former associate of Linus Pauling, with whom he co-authored Orthmolecular Psychology, sets out with great exactitude to explain an overarching framework for understanding all aspects of psychology, science, business, culture, religion, and just about any other field of human awareness you would care to name or explore. Moreover, from the beginning, his purpose is to make this as easy to follow for a general reader as possible, building up in steady increments on foundations laid in previous chapters the brickwork of his thought system.

Moreover, he claims that this system is scientifically verified and has been tested by doing millions of calibrations. By the end of the book, many readers come away convinced that this author has indeed handed them a key with which they could cut through a lot of Gordion Knots of complex issues and come away sure that they have figured out the truth. The author encourages learning to practise this calibrating, and describes workshops he held to introduce people to doing it.

Is there a trick? Can any such system provide a shortcut through conflicting information and claims, and help us to determine which ones have superior merit?

While reading any book making such claims, it is well to keep the word "caveat" in mind.

Programming the Universe

by Seth Lloyd

In Programming the Universe, Seth Lloyd, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at MIT and the designer of the first feasible quantum computer, presents an arresting new paradigm of the cosmos: The universe itself is a giant quantum computer which is the source and fundamental units of what Remote Viewers observe.

Lloyd's hypothesis is that all physical systems register and process information. Life, language, human beings, society, culture--all owe their existence to the intrinsic ability of matter and energy to process information. When systems evolve dynamically in time, asserts Lloyd, they transform and process that information. 

He does a fine job of explaining how classical computers (driven by bits) relate to quantum computers (driven by qubits); how quantum computing works (in theory for the most part, successful experimentation in this area being being quite modest at present); and how quantum computing relates to the quantum world. By the end of PtU, I had a decent grasp not only of why the universe should itself be thought of as a kind of vast (and ever expanding) computer but of how a universe-as-computer model of physics adds value to pre-existing models. Really fascinating stuff, and a deceptively 'easy' read.

Where Mathematics Comes From: How the Embodied Minds brings Mathematics into Being

by George Lakoff &  Rafael Nunez

Cross Domain Mapping which is a convention employed by mathematicians, philosophers, and psychologists to map ideas, understandings, or mathematical functions from one conceptual domain to another. A conceptual domain is any coherent data set of defining human experience or understanding.

The use of cross domain mapping results in what is known are conceptual metaphors. There is a source domain and a target domain for these conceptual metaphors

We know the Matrix understands our concept of time as a process of linear transiting through space time due to the cuing strategies that have been employed with standard Technical Remote Viewing protocols for the last third of a century. The use of the terms next, previous, nearest, farthest, and the use of number sets in binary problem sets employed Hybrid Associated Remote Viewing protocols prove that the Matrix does understand the numerical values of quantity and the metaphors usually associated with the concept of "numbers".

Wholeness and the Implicate Order

by David Bohm

The fragmented muddle that Quantum Physics has made of "the way we used to view the world," is at last confronted "head on" in this densely packed but short monogram. It is not an easy ride, but this, one of Einstein's last and most famous students, takes it on with the zeal and the relish of a young boy.

This book covers quantum entanglement which plays a large role to understand how the information is retrieved by Remote Viewers.  The nature and relationship of consciousness to the underlying reality, which it is part of. Here, Dr. Bohm attempts to answer some of the most perplexing philosophical questions to face us.
