Hyper-Reality
Subtitled ‘Beyond the horizon where physics meets consciousness,’ this well-informed book covers territory that will be familiar to many readers: metaphysics, materialism, the observer effect, consciousness, quantum reality, psychokinesis, free will, synchronicity, time, and changing worldviews. The author concludes that reality is other than our experience of it and that there are different levels. What she calls irrational might also be termed transcendent or intuitive. She speculates that reality may be a simulation created by consciousness where information is foundational. She postulates the basic principles of consciousness as fundamental, oneness, interaction, complementarity, and freedom within limits. She rightly states that ‘for us to solve the world’s problems, we need to see things from oneness,’ which corresponds to a set of instructions based on her principles, including trust, silencing the conscious thinking mind, and creating our reality from love, and other fundamental values. I love the quote by Giordano Bruno at the end of the final chapter: ‘Knowledge and love are revealed as the two cosmic forces which are apparently separate in nature but which spring from the same potency and force.’
