Summary: The Living Energy Universe
Comment: Gary E. R. Schwartz, Ph.D. and Linda G. S. Russek, Ph.D. say they know "scientifically that everything is eternal, alive, and evolving." Their book, The Living Energy Universe, details their theory about "universal living memory" and how they developed it.
Schwartz is a professor of psychology, medicine, neurology, and psychiatry; and has taught at both Harvard and Yale, as well as held various directorships. Russek is a professor of medicine and directs several health-related organizations. Both are trained scientists dedicated to the search for truth.
They first became interested in the question of whether life exists after physical death after Russek's father died. They investigated phenomena as diverse as homeopathy and organ transplants, and concluded that everything in the universe has a memory. Everything that is living retains a memory of all that's gone before it.
Schwartz and Russek cite several cases of organ transplant recipients who have memories that belong to the organ donor. The organ cells have retained the memories of the body they originated in. The doctors also discuss homeopathy, where a remedy can be very powerful although the solution is so diluted that it may not contain even one molecule of the healing substance added to the water. The water has retained the memory of the substance.
They speculate that not only are beings living on Earth continually evolving, perhaps there is a cosmic consciousness that is also evolving, noting that evolution cannot take place without memory, and offering evidence that memory survives death.
The doctors finish with a chapter listing ways in which their theory could be wrong, and their responses to those arguments.
The Living Energy Universe elegantly explains Schwartz and Russek's hypothesis "that the whole universe is a living, remembering, self-revising process . . . and, therefore, in a deep sense, all things--great and small, visible and invisible, material and spiritual, past and future--are in an energetic state of 'becoming'." Readers will find themselves fascinated and comforted as the doctors explain how this means there is no true death.

Summary: Living Energy --- that's Gary Schwartz alright!
Comment: The Living Energy Universe Gary Schwartz & Linda Russek The living Energy Universe is an incredible book-- incredible because it is hard to believe, especially when you think of all the repercussions the theory it proposes presents. But the authors do a very credible job of arguing for its feasibility.
Basically, it posits that every action, every moment of existence is reflected out into the universe to reverberate and interact as a living energy memory with the universe, including the myriad of other living energy memories. The book ties together everything, from eastern philosophical ideas of non-duality and connectedness to Rupert Sheldrake's morphogenic field theory (which is elegantly explained) to the phenomenon of organ transplant memory, in which recipients of heart and other organ transplants develop habits or experience memories whcih could only come from the organ donor.
This theory has so much potential to change the world and the way we think of it. I'm not just talking about technology. It can change the way you think about God, death, the afterlife, relationships, karma, organ transplants.
A beautiful aspect of this book is it manages to let the reader get to know the joyful, loving personalities of its authors. And that even flows into the theories-- theories filled with love. The book is unusual for its author, because it is the first book not written for a professional audience. Gary Schwartz has a huge CV, with several hundred publications to his credit, and he is one of the most respected psychologists in America. It's a treat-- like candy for the mind-- (vitamin enriched It is a wonder to watch a room full of brilliant, world famous brain researchers shake their heads in astonishment and surprise when Gary, giving a lecture, drops another of his new explosive ideas. There are always a few who literally walk out, shocked by the boldness of the proposals. But most keep coming back for more, because the ideas force us (or better, lift us up) to see the world with new eyes, and that's a very special gift. Read this book and you will change the way you see the world and your relationship to it and everyone and eveything in it. Take Gary's advice, and read chapters 6 through the end first, before going into the scientific explanation. Rob Kall, President, Futurehealth, Inc, Founder/organizer The Winter Brain Meeting Rating: 5 University of Arizona scientists Drs. Schwartz's and Russek's new book brings to us an amazing melding of science and spiritual insight and answers our most fundamental questions about the essential nature of life, death, consciousness and "who we are." And, it answers us in a way that has been much needed by those who consider themselves rational, logical thinkers, respectful of evidence and scientific inquiry. In doing this, Drs. Schwartz and Russek appeal to both our hearts and our minds. I appreciated the many examples, books, journals, names of other researchers and sources given for further reading and investigation. The theories, facts and conclusions posited by Drs. Schwartz and Russek have the potential to revolutionize our world from medicine to politics. Of course, they are not alone in this kind of research, but have put together a unique, well-conceived theoretical treatise worthy of rigorous scrutiny and serious contemplation. Their book is a must read for any thinking person desiring to be on the cutting edge of what is perhaps "the final debate" on the fundamental nature of no less than "all that exists." I highly recommend this book (though sometimes a challenge to understand) because it offers the real hope of being able to come home again to a universe that is not only logical, but benevolent, purposeful and yes, even loving and eternal. And if the Schwarz/Russek paradigm is accepted, the next question becomes, "What do we do with this information?" If the good news be true, what difference does it now make to our everyday lives? What will people be like in a universe where they are eternally accountable, personally responsible for the fate and well-being of themselves and each other, and profoundly connected in the most personal ways to life and all that exists? Can we go home again and do we have the stomach for it? And, finally, we find "The Living Energy Universe" to be... a love story. But "love" in its most challenging, profound and far-reaching sense. A love that is unexpectedly built upon science, logic and heart in the most literal as well as poetic manner. "The Living Energy Universe" not only makes us smile, but brings a tear to our eye in the ultimate comfort that it offers. And that may be a problem. "Comfort" can feel threatening when it offers hope... a hope long abandoned by those who have felt betrayed by parents, religion and government. Cynicism dies hard. And so it should. It was born of passionate expectations thrown asunder and replaced by a cold, hard foundation of complexly conceived, well-documented... bias. But, as a philosopher once asked, "Is it okay having stumbled over the truth, to then pick ourselves up and proceed on as if nothing happened?" This book will challenge you... wonderfully so. And comfort you down to your existential toes! - C. Paul Wanio, Ph.D., LMFT, LMHC, MFCC. Thank you for visiting www.AnyBook4Less.com and enjoy your savings!

Summary: An Existential Home Coming / A User Friendly Universe
Comment: I find no more important topic than that which is tackled in "The Living Energy Universe" - the nature of the universe, God and survival of consciousness after death. Since fear and anxiety are ultimately linked to the fear of death, the "self" cannot find true peace in a universe where annihilation is always an eye blink away. Without the resolution of this existential anxiety, our entire psychology, lifestyles, attitudes and behaviors are affected (whether we know it or not). Generally, there are two places from which answers to this dilemma arise: Religion and science. Typically, they do not agree. Has this now changed?Similar Books:
