Sample Book Insights:

#1 The idea of mental events generating physical effects may at first seem counter-intuitive, but in reality it’s something we experience every day. For example, when I think about stroking someone’s cheek, a pulse jumps a synapse in my brain, something like an electrical current burns down a nerve in my arm, and my hand moves.

#2 The universe that this book describes is different because it was made with humankind in mind. It was created by God, but he allowed his reflections, humans, to develop and grow over time.

#3 The universe is anthropocentric. It has nurtured us through the centuries, cradled us, and helped the unique thing that is human consciousness to evolve. When you cry out, the universe turns towards you in sympathy.

#4 In the universe of the secret societies, a coin flipped in strict laboratory conditions will still land heads up in 50 percent of cases, but these laws only apply when all human subjectivity has been deliberately excluded. In the normal run of things, when human happiness and hopes for self-fulfillment depend on the outcome of the roll of the dice, the laws of probability are bent.
