His theories are interesting and some of them seem plausible. Some of the most interesting theories that I found from the book include He likens the uncertainty of position at tiny scales to motion that's faster than light, and compares that to the fact that you traverse many points of space at once when you travel at light speed, and concludes from that that we're omnipresent. First, uncertainty isn't the same as traveling or propagating, and second, when you travel at light speed you only occupy the points in a "world line" (the specific path you follow), not all points in space. If you are into the metaphysical and quantum physics then this is most definitely the book for you, If you are bored of the mundane and wish to expand your current awareness of your universe this book is for you. In his chapter, "A Morse Code of Action and Rest," Bentov explains the movement and rest phases of a pendulum in such a way that it is clear to me how we can enter altered or parallel states of reality at the zero point. This fits with what I read in The Power of Now, and the Tobias channels of the Crimson Circle's (See Library channels at www.crimsoncircle.com) repeated admonition, "All power is in the present moment."A ground-breaking work. Clear, imaginative, and inspiring, it offers a revolutionary image of the human mind and universe.” Much of this information has come through intuitive insight, which is no justification, of course, for omitting a rational support for this material. When we come to the description of the shape of the universe and the process of its creation, however, a rational support becomes tenuous since we are dealing with material that cannot be fully supported yet by scientific facts. Here the principal guide for judging the material presented is one’s intuition or subjective experience. A powerful book on the nature of consciousness and the universe, Stalking The Wild Pendulum is a masterpiece. a b Monagan, David; Williams, MD., David O. (2007).

We have come to think that the renowned scientific method is to be coldly objective about an experiment because that has been very effective for much of the past experimentation. However, the scientific method is really to provide the necessary and sufficient protocol for anyone, anywhere, to successfully duplicate the experimental result. If this requires a positive, negative, or neutral mental or emotional bias, then so be it. As we move off the purely physical path in our future experimentation, we will need to include, clearly define, and quantitatively measure these states of bias because we shall find that the human mind and human intention alter the very substratum in which our physical laws operate. Ben is an intuitive inventor without much formal education who likes to tinker about in his versatile basement laboratory seeking simple and practical solutions to complex technological problems. Presently, he spends most of his time developing a variety of medical instruments. This is how he makes his living, and he is sufficiently good at it to be in great demand by modern, specialized industries that desperately need his special brand of creativity. Our physical science does not necessarily deal with reality, whatever that is. Rather, it has merely generated a set of consistency relationships to explain our common ground of experience, which is determined, of course, by the capacity and capabilities of our physical sensory-perception mechanisms. We have developed these mathematical laws based ultimately on a set of definitions of mass, charge, space, and time. We don’t really know what these quantities are, but we have defined them to have certain unchanging properties and have thus constructed our edifice of knowledge on these pillars. The edifice will be stable so long as the pillars are unchanging. However, we appear to be entering a period of human evolvement in which certain qualities of the human being appear to be able to change, or deform, these basic quantities. Thus, our set of laws or consistency relationships will have to change to embrace this new experience. It isn’t as if the old laws are wrong and need to be thrown out—no more than Newton was wrong when Einstein came along and showed that the laws of gravitation had to be altered when one adopted a frame of reference for observation that moved at velocities approaching the velocity of light. At this time, we are beginning to adopt new states of consciousness as reference frames for observing Nature, and thus the old laws will need to be altered to conform with the new experience, when the experiential sensing is sufficiently widespread as to constitute a common ground of experience. Along this path, humankind’s view of itself, of the universe, and of the synergistic interrelationship of both is in for great changes:

A paraphysical odyssey....Dazzles the imagination and causes you to rethink everything you ever thought you knew about the nature of reality.... A landmark in man’s new attempts to integrate realities within and without.” A real masterpiece of creativity and a plethora of crazy ideas, mixed with plenty of hand drawn graphs and doodles to exemplify his points. What happens when we die? The organizing life energy departs, and our bodies start decomposing rapidly. Our precious information-carrying proteins decompose into badly smelling substances within three days. With time, in the grave, these substances will be broken down into still simpler ones. We have returned to the planet the substances we borrowed from it. Bentov was born in Humenné, Czechoslovakia (in present-day Slovakia), in 1923. During World War II, his parents, his younger brother and sister were killed in Nazi concentration camps. [2]

A Brief Tour of Higher Consciousness: A Cosmic Book on the Mechanics of Creation, Inner Traditions – Bear and Company, 2000, ISBN 0-89281-814-X Bentov was fascinated by consciousness, in particular how it related to physiology. In his 1977 book, Stalking the Wild Pendulum: On the Mechanics of Consciousness, he wrote that "consciousness permeates everything". I do not want to discuss the contents of the book in great detail to avoid looking like I've completely lost it (2020 has been a long year). The book guides the reader through basics of contemporary (1980s) physics using a well-written and easily understandable language, touching topics like the human sensory input receptors, the composition and behavior of solid matter under extreme magnification and later slides into the, ahem, more provocative areas, drawing on the basics of the string theory, consciousness as a property of mass and so on. Additionally, the book is full of author's funny doodles and anecdotes, that help the reader visualize some of the mentioned phenomena and concepts. Itzhak " Ben" Bentov (also Ben-Tov; Hebrew: יצחק בנטוב; August 9, 1923 – May 25, 1979) was an Israeli American scientist, inventor, mystic and author. His many inventions, including the steerable cardiac catheter, helped pioneer the biomedical engineering industry. [1] He was also an early proponent of what has come to be referred to as consciousness studies and authored several books on the subject.

The quantum theory asserts that there is no way one can measure some sets of things, like momentum and position, together very accurately; it suggests (at least in one widespread interpretation) that this is so because the consciousness of the experimenter interacts with the experiment itself. Therefore, it becomes possible that the attitude of the experimenter must also influence the outcome of any particular experiment. Now this is serious business, for unless we are able to account for and describe what consciousness is, it will always put an experiment in doubt. So the problem is: What is consciousness? Forty years after this was written, I believe this book still pushes the edge of what we think about our place in the Universe, ourselves as holograms, and how Consciousness interacts with the Universe. He relates reincarnation to the newtons second law (conservation of energy). Our metaphysical energy is conserved when we die.

Therefore, I do not claim that the information contained here is the final truth, but I hope that it will stimulate more thinking and speculation by future scientists and interested laymen. Apart from these more or less obscurantist forays into the eclectic and esoteric, the author actually does strive to provide an objective-as-possible description of the actual "mechanism" driving what we call (ordinary, waking-state) "consciousness", and goes well beyond that scope as well. Bentov had a daughter, Sharona Ben-Tov Muir, with his first wife, whom he would divorce. Later he married Ukrainian-born sculptor and poet Mirtala Serhiivna Pylypenko-Kardinalovska ( Kharkiv, 1929), also known as Mirtala Bentov.a b c d Hollander, Barbara (December 12, 2005).
