Book Reviews of Synchronicity: The Bridge Between Matter and Mind
Book Review: One of the best and most Helpful books I have ever read
Summary: 5 Stars
Synchronicity shatters causality as being capable of applying to the entire macrocosm. It demands that we progress on from the Newtonian worldview. Though the explanations for synchronicity might seem just as incomprehensible, with this book synchronicity won't seem as impossible. We get the bridge between an artistic and mechanistic universe. Linearity and Nonlinearity, mind and matter, Acausality and causality are to be complimentary, not isolated dualities. With synchronicity we will variegate, but not transmogrify, the mechanistic Kosmos. He thoroughly examines two valuable sources of synchronicity work: Carl Jung and Wolfgang Pauli. Perhaps as Pauli believed, an integration will occur with synchronicity by bringing the objective into pyschology and the subjective into physics. In our universe, which is more of an organism than a machine, "everything is the cause of everything." We cannot observe phenomena without disturbing it, by being an integral participator in phenomena itself. With the development of the illusions of our distinct selfs and our Newtonian strict mindsets, a synchronicity can be the only moment in which we can see transcendant eternity. But if we are willing to break down these walls, we will be submerged in eternal creativity, and stop seeing life as linear in time and causality. Another thing, at some points in this book, it almost seems as if Peat was directly writing about God. I don't mean an anthropomorphised jealous demiurge, but rather, as I quote from his own words, "an eternally creative source that lies beyond the orders of time." pp. 195 Or how about pp. 88 "What if the laws of nature---the ones that really fly---are not simply abstractions of experience but are realization, within the world of mind, of something that is creative, generative, and formative, of something that lies beyond mathematics, language, and thought?" If he realizes this, I cannot say. But later he does speak of how the ancients described this same thing as the Tao. So I think he does, but that using a word with such a negative connotation as G-d would be misleading. But when I hear him say "objective intelligence" it seems like nothing less than being politically correct talking about the Supreme Personality of the Godhead.Or perhaps he was expecting a white beard.
Summary of Synchronicity: The Bridge Between Matter and Mind
With fascinating historical anecdotes and incisive scientific analysis, this important work combines ancient thought with modern theory to reveal a new way of viewing our universe that can expand our awareness, our lives, and may well point the way to a new science for the twenty-first century.New Thought Books
