The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World

Profound, groundbreaking, moving, inspiring.Brings a lot of elements in this arena together...In a class of it's own.

I have this in audible and wanted the hard copy. I love the cover and the concept of the book. I enjoyed it and have listened 2 times so far.

Welcome to the weird and wacky world of quantum physics; where everything is connected, plants can read your intentions, and everything you think affects everything around you-down to the eggs and yogurt you had for breakfast!Admittedly, I did find much of it a bit 'dry'; the experiments-and there are many-are highly detailed and after awhile become very repetetive and monotonous. I would have liked to see a lot more variety in the types experiments done (How many different experiments can you do on patients in hospitals?) One wishes McTaggart could have been more succinct with her explanations for those who want to forge ahead; and then added the extra detailed notes and the end of each chapter for those who wish to delve deeper). Still, there was still plenty of surprising and thought provoking information to motivate me through the book.The book's main goal is to enable the reader to more successfully harness their powers of intention to manifest their desires; which is a noble but slightly more complicated process than one might have originally thought. With all the roadblocks and conditions McTaggart unveils, it's a wonder anyone is able to manifest anything at all! Yet many do; and I'm sure they're not even aware of such conditions and may in fact may even be violating them (perhaps they have other abilities or viewpoints that allow them to 'override' obstacles better than others!!) But for those who are still struggling with the Law of Attraction, for one reason or another, at least you've got a checklist of things to consider that may be standing in your way. Knowledge is power, as they say! ;)Now if you'll excuse me, I need to check the space weather for 'favourable' geomagnetic activity before I prepare for my next intention. ;)

The preface to "The Intention Experiment" is pivotal to understanding this book's purpose. In it, Lynne McTaggart explains that, in previously writing "The Field," she aimed to make sense of all the ideas from ongoing research into quantum physics and, ultimately the implications of the Zero Point Field for human life and consciousness. The response to "The Field" was more than gratifying, yet McTaggart felt that her own journey of discovery had just begun. The scientific evidence she had amassed suggested something remarkable about our potential to affect reality, but left her with many unanswered questions. Hence her current book, "The Intention Experiment."McTaggart still does not claim to have all the answers. In fact, the earlier part of the book describes her renewed search for answers. Anyone who has read "The Field," is an experienced meditator, a healer, practiced in qigong and/or has had unexplained experiences themselves will need no further persuasion that intention is a real force: targeting your thoughts actually works. However, the early chapters are replete with ongoing research into consciousness and human intention that will challenge the hardest sceptic. Not light reading, with all the protocol details and statistics, but there are some staggering revelations. We are certainly far more than we think we are.The author's description of the intention experiment she negotiated with eminent German scientist, Franz Albert Popp is highly significant (especially his courage in agreeing to it in the first place.) McTaggart admits beguilingly that she was deflated after they had discussed the likely target. "For our experiment, I had wanted to help heal burn victims, to save the world from global warming. Single celled organisms weren't exactly my idea of heroics and high drama." However, when she began to research algae, she quickly changed her mind. Algae could be critical to our survival. Why? Well, you'll need to read the book.The "Intention Exercises" in the last three chapters include suggestions for personal as well as group work, and are mostly a summary of meditation, visualisation and affirmation techniques already known. However, the focus is more specific. (There is a caveat, given earlier in the book, to remember that there is a significant difference between intention and attention.)The book ends with an invitation to join a global intention experiment. Whether you do this or not, is optional. However, this book is not made for mere armchair philosophy. It is an interactive book that challenges each of us to do something at one level or another. I would defy any reader to walk away from "The Intention Experiment" and not change a thing in their life, or the way in which they live it.

Let's face it, looking deeper and deeper into space will reveal beautiful, wonderful, mysterious and compelling visions of that which surrounds us, which is: matter, energy, and space-time. But is one star, or nebulae or white dwarf really that much different from another of it's kind? Is one type of fungus really that much more interesting than the other? Yes, study of the natural world is a good thing, an honorable and noble course of endeavor. Yet the final frontier of discovery is not "without" it is clearly "within".This is what "The Intention Experiment" is all about. Quantum physics insists that there is something more going on relative to consciousness than outward appearances would indicate. McTaggart clearly announces to the world the ineluctable conclusion based on rigorous scientific investigation, that everyone and everything interacts on some fundamental level with everyone and everything else. Hence in answer to the question, "If a butterfly flaps its wings in Beijing, do we get rain in Buffalo?" My phlegmatic response is" no, we get snow."With a surfeit of data, and smooth, clear, concise writing, McTaggart proffers excellent proof of the arcane aphorism espoused by Jeshua, "I am with you always, even unto the end of time." Brilliant, timely work. 5 stars from me.Post Script: I will be involved with the next INTENTION EXPERIMENT. I implore you to read the book and check out the website. After all, it's quite possible we may be able to save ourselves from ourselves!!

The book is stuffed with scientific studies showing that intention and thought have actual power. I can't say enough about this book.Thanks Lynne for writing this amazing volume.

Few books Ive read endorsing paranormal experiences or psi abilities have been so willing to consider the null hypothesis. Few have been so willing to articulate the caveats to their conclusions. McTaggart's detailed, eloquent explanations of experiments, and her step by step argument built up from complex research, make an impressive narrative in a readable and engaging book.

BEL LIBRO

it's just way too repetitive about certain things like telling the reader about their project and how to sign up for it. Also the way the book has been developed it goes a bit too deep on certain details that are fundamentally not too important for the reader to know and it makes it boring, even though the topic is quite interesting.I guess, personally, I know that I'm not gonna understand quantum physics from one book which is not even about quantum physics, yes I want to know the overall idea to understand the book, but I don't care about tiny little details that just make the reading experience tedious instead of amazing.

This bool is phenomenal. Though I had idea about the works of some scientists mentioned in the book, the details and logic put forward is astounding. But why am I writing .... obviously I am emitting biophotons that are reaching you with my feedback :-)
