What is Reality?: The New Map of Cosmos, Consciousness, and Existence

This book will no doubt soon be recognized as Ervin Laszlo's theoretical masterpiece. The culmination and synthesis of his many decades of research into cutting-edge quantum physics and consciousness studies, it offers nothing less than a unified theory which challenges the whole paradigm of current mainstream materialist-reductionism. It offers a true "Copernican revolution" within modern science, which reaffirms the primary place of consciousness in the universe, a principle held throughout many ancient wisdom traditions, religious systems, and idealist philosophies. It offers a vision which is not only awe-inspiring in its grandeur, it is as emotionally stirring in its implications. The book is supported by an illustrious cast of fellow scientists, academics, researchers, and fellow thinkers who have been inspired, and who have inspired Laszlo, to shape this radical new model of reality. The spectrum of evidence of the non-locality of consciousness (a concept affirmed by quantum neuroscience models) is illustrated through such varied fields as psychedelics, NDE's, out-of-body experiences, and other widely documented phenomena, which are skillfully weaved throughout the work - as it steadily builds its case for the immortality of consciousness. The result is a profoundly new conception of the cosmos, which is as inspiring in its character as it is humbling in its ramifications.

This book forms a union between cutting edge science, ancient wisdom, and spirituality; with Laszlo providing heart warming account of our true reality, the essence of life, and what lies ahead.From personal experience while accessing none ordinary states of consciousness, the content within this wonderful book mirrors the insights I have gained during my own inner journey.

I enjoyed the first third but then the author switched which was much harder to read and it lost its flow

Solid science meets spirituality; I can only echo the other reviewers.An excellent work!!

扱っている内容は実在とは何かというテーマです。現代の量子力学では解き明かせていない領域に踏み込みながらも、量子力学をベースに話を進めていてとても面白いです。筆者だけではなく、様々な執筆者が切り口を変えて説明しているところも凄く面白いです。読む人が読めば、科学の最先端であり、違う人が読めばオカルティズムと取るであろう内容です。個人的には量子力学の延長線上にある科学の範囲内における推論だと思います。
