Just finished Itzhak Bentov's book Stalking the Wild Pendulum and omfg it lives up to its hype!

I especially enjoyed the model of the universe he developed with both micro and macro levels reminiscent of an egg.

Has anyone else read this? What are your thoughts?

Never even heard of it. Now I have.

If you're interested in how the universe is formed, and how all matter is consciousness, and how parapsychic occurrences are possible it is truly amazing πŸŒŒβš›οΈπŸ§¬βœ¨

I put it on my list. I'm currently working through The Creature From Jekyll Island.

I bought it many years ago but still haven't read it.

It's really quite amazing how he covers such a vast array of complex scientific theories in such a colloquial tone. It was a easy enjoyable read that I only put down at the chapter breaks because my mind was blown πŸ€―πŸ˜…πŸ€“

Oh cool, I'll bring it on my plane ride to India πŸ™ thx 🧑

Never heard of it but now I’m interested 😊

His model of the universe and consciousness is what the CIA used as a foundation for their parapsychic research programs. This book is a much better read than the govt documents though πŸ˜‰

Definitely sounds interesting 🧐

Mind blowing read. I’ll have to read it again to fully grasp some of the concepts, like β€œsnapping out” once the wavelength is shorter than Planck’s distance

So much of it is over my head that I feel the need to reread all of it! πŸ˜…

I've ordered the holographic universe which I believe is more updated research of his universe model. I also have a copy of encounters with nature spirits which is a classic deep dive into that wild concept

I'm debating wether or not to do a reread of Bentov first just to clarify thoughts because he writes so conversationally.

If you are interested in studies concerning consciousness, please read this- a will send a pdf copy to anyone who asks for it. It was recently submitted to the Journal Of Consciousness Studies in the UK for publication.

Hello! I'd be very interested in reading this if you have a link to the PDF πŸ’–πŸ₯°πŸ’–

I'm going to read this next

I've read it 3 times and every time I read it, it's seems like a different book.

Raise your vibration, synch up with the planet and the ionosphere and let's get Omni present.

Itzhak Bentov is the GOAT in the west for English speakers in this domain of research. I feel like society in the west is being left behind. How he died is a perfect example of this IMHO.

Absolutely! I love how he was able to come up with such fascinating theories while being basically self taught. I am reading my big toe by Thomas Campbell who is a nuclear physicist who quantifies a theory with many similarities to Bentov's thesis. Robert Becker's the body electric touches on Bentov's ideas from the biology perspective as well. I'm in the middle of an independent research project trying to synthesize all of these texts into something coherent.

Any recommendations for more research in this area?
