Galileo's Middle Finger by Alice Domurat Dreger

In this vital investigation of the rush and heave of the modern world, Alan Lightman explores the technological and cultural origins of our time-driven lives. 'In today's frenzied and wired world, we are obsessed with the idea of not 'wasting time.' But have we lost the silences and solitude so essential to our inner lives? A great deal of evidence suggests the value in wasting time, of letting the mind lie fallow for some periods, of letting minutes and hours go by without scheduled activities or intended tasks, of unplugging from the grid. And you can join a series of worldwide Intention Experiments that will run on a major web television channel in 120 countries during the book's initial publication and afterward'. Now you can learn to use it and unleash the power you hold inside of you to heal your own life, with help from this riveting, highly accessible new book. Drawing on hundreds of case studies, the latest brain research, and dozens of McTaggart's own university studies, The Power of Eight provides solid evidence showing that there is such a thing as a collective consciousness. But the greatest untold truth of all is that group intention has a mirror effect, not only affecting the recipient but also reflecting back on the senders.

When individuals in a group focus their intention together on a single target, a powerful collective dynamic emerges that can heal longstanding conditions, mend fractured relationships, lower violence, and even rekindle life purpose. In The Power of Eight, Lynne McTaggart, an expert on the science of spirituality, reveals her remarkable findings from ten years of experiments about how group intention can heal our lives-and change the world for the better. Although the power of intention-the energy of positive thoughts-is widely accepted as an influential force in transforming lives, the exponential power of group intention has never been explored, until now. What we send out into the universe comes back to us, magnified. 'Discover how to tap into your extraordinary human capacity for connection and healing, using astonishing new findings about the miraculous power of group intention and its boomerang effect, in this new book by the author of the international bestsellers The Intention Experiment and The Field. The power of eight: harnessing the miraculous energies of a small group to heal others, your life, and the world
