Science and the Akashic Field :
An Integral Theory of Everything
by Ervin Laszlo
It surprises many and perplexes some that someone could go from studying mathematics at university to graduating from law school and then on to a successful business career and yet end up as a full-time psychic. But that is my story. Most of the time these seemingly incongruous points of my past give me no trouble. Secretly, of course, I’d have to admit that I would love for science to produce irrefutable evidence for what I do now as a psychic.
But the world of the scientist and the world of the psychic remain as irreconcilable as always. Right? Well, maybe not. I recently came across a very interesting book whose author may be able to offer an olive branch to the ever-warring camps of the believer and the sceptic.
Ervin Laszlo is a distinguished scientist and philosopher, who believes that science has produced a very impersonal and cold view of the world. But because it is a view that is incomplete and, in many ways, inaccurate, he feels that it is one that should be challenged.
In his book Science and the Akashic Field, Laszlo argues that what science needs is a single theory to explain everything. Now I’ll grant you that sounds like a tall order. But when you find out that this is exactly what many top scientists are trying to do, it somehow seems less like a Holy Grail.
It turns out that scientists are today searching for what is called an integral theory of everything (ITOE) because research in the areas of cosmology, physics, biology and consciousness are producing head-scratching puzzles and anomalies that break our so-called “laws” of science.
It would seem that things in the universe don’t work as we once thought they did. So, a new view of science is emerging. And it’s a view that supports, if not demands, the single paradigm of an ITOE. Laszlo explains that these riddles are solved and models start to hang together again when we take into account a field that connects everything and everyone, supports an exchange of information and is capable of instant communication.
This might sound like some New Age folly, but such a field has been known to mystics and spiritual traditions for thousands of years and it already has a name – the akashic field. While it might have been considered a myth of cultural history, Western science seems to be on the verge of accepting it – as having very nearly proved its existence in the laboratory.
The scientist in Laszlo strives to make the very technical information accessible to and digestible for the layman reader. Be prepared, as you will find yourself reading and re-reading passages to understand areas such as string theory, non-locality and quantum mechanics. But as in many things, persistence pays off.
For me, however, the really exciting bit is when the philosopher in Laszlo comes forth. What information does the akashic field hold? How do we access it? Why would we want to? What are the implications to human evolution? I won’t give it away but suffice it to say that the answers are very interesting indeed.
Be you a sceptic or a believer, Science and the Akashic Field will get you thinking and keep you thinking long after you’ve finished it. To me, that’s the hallmark of a good book! Science and the Akashic Field is available at Amazon.
