'One of the science fiction fantasies that haunts the collective unconscious is expressed in the phrase "a world run by machines"; in the 1950s this was first articulated in the notion, "perhaps the future will be a terrible place where the world is run by machines." Well now, let's think about machines for a moment. They are extremely impartial, very predictable, not subject to moral suasion, value neutral, and very long lived in their functioning. Now let's think about what machines are made of, in the light of Sheldrake's morphogenetic field theory. Machines are made of metal, glass, gold, silicon, plastic; they are made of what the earth is made of. Now wouldn't it be strange if biology is a way for earth to alchemically transform itself into a self-reflecting thing. In which case then, what we're headed for inevitably, what we are in fact creating is a world run by machines. And once these machines are in place, they can be expected to manage our economies, languages, social aspirations, and so forth, in such a way that we stop killing each other, stop starving each other, stop destroying land, and so forth. Actually the fear of being ruled by machines is the male ego's fear of relinquishing control of the planet to the maternal matrix of Gaia.' - Terence McKenna

Book Review: The Great Beyond - Higher Dimensions, Parallel Universes and the Extraordinary Search for a Theory of Everything



What a wonderful read! Nice and easy to understand introduction to higher dimensional concepts. Gives a nice history on the subject, and it's thinkers - from Plato and Einstein through to Kaluza and Klein and beyond. From the ideas of Newton to the thoughts of Bohr, this is an epic journey through hyperspace! Quantum mechanics and string theory might be a lot for the casual reader to grasp, but hopefully this book will make some sense of the subject to the reader.

It has opened my mind to new ideas for sure! Grab a copy from Amazon and see you yourself!!!
