The Theorem of Love

Have you read this book? I am really interested to hear what people with much more expertise than me make of it.

For me it brings together what I have encountered and understood of quantum physics and mysticism. For me it describes the rationale for the phenomenon of synchronicity and why love is so important, why life evolves to complexity and inanimate objects entropy. It really answers pretty much the questions I have been asking and gives me even more incentive to meditate and focus on love and beauty. This may have been touched on in books I have read by Amit Goswami and others but not so directly described.

Sitting on a beach in August with my Kindle I searched for something light and readable literary fiction. First of all I searched for romantic comedies but after a few sample downloads I broadened my search. However, I have no idea what search terms enabled me to have the good fortune to find 'The Theorem of Love'.

At first I was a little disappointed by the initial discussion about financial corruption - I really wasn't in the mood for the paranoia of conspiracy theories but was also struck by its synchronicity with a conversation I had a minute before and read on.

Set in November 2026 it opens with a number of conversations between a father and daughter about the recent past. This device allows a summary of research and history including the introduction of bioelectronic money, the fall of a Pope and Milgram and Fantappie's experiments.

I found the dialogue at first seemed somewhat artificial as the translation from Italian could be quite clunky and my kindle edition is sprinkled with typos. I gave it a break but the ideas and links between them soon made it compelling reading and I was unable to put it down. It turned out to be exactly what I have been looking for. But further, it has joined the dots for some questions I have been exploring about life the universe and everything - not quite 'chick lit' but union through love is in there. But in case you are disappointed there is even a romantic plot line!

As a psychotherapist I disagree with the argument made by Freudian psychoanalysis is exclusively about the past and that, as a consequence it is uniformly damaging. I also question the unqualified support for bioelectronic money to eradicate corruption and the assertion that its introduction would reduce taxation!

I saw the film Interstella just before finishing the book and was delighted to see that it seems to work with the same concepts. (Of course, when you 'buy a red car, you see red cars everywhere').

The book ends with 'to be continued...' so we can look forward to more. For information after the end of the book a 'flyleaf' says that it is based on The Law of Syntropy, Retrocausality, Murder in the Vatican, and as well as other essays available to download.
