Hiromi Van hiromivandergoes — I am a skeptic. Anyone who knows me well knows that I have generally looked askance at mystical explanations for otherwise unexplained phenomena. So it is with that background that I began reading, at my wife's suggestion, this book. She thought I would like the chapter on near death experiences, the first one in the book, so I began reading the book. I expected to read that chapter, and then return to the book I was in the process of reading. I read the whole book. Steve Volk is a journalist who seeks in this book not to convince anyone of anything. He also does not profess or belie any particular belief in paranormal events and activities, but seeks throughout the book to suggest that the extremes of society - believers and skeptics, mystics and scientists, rationalists and the religious - should all keep an open mind and recognize that there are unexplained manifestations that are just that: unexplained. Science shouldn't be too quick to dismiss such things as New Age hoo ha just because science can't explain them. One of my favorite lines in the book, paraphrased, is that the perfection of science is its method, not its accumulated knowledge to date. In fact, science is always discovering new truths, so it's unreasonable for science to dismiss happenings that are unexplained. Enough abstractions. The book delves into reports and scientific exploration of near-death experiences, telepathy, the role of quantum physics in human consciousness, UFOs, ghosts, the spiritual transformations of space travelers, meditation and prayer, lucid dreaming, and after-death communications. Each is covered in depth, but leaves the reader to make what he or she will of it, all the while encouraging an open mind. In other words, recognize that something is happening or at least being reported by people who have experienced these phenomena - whether these things are real or fantasized is unproven, so either possibility exists. Some of my observations while reading include: Quantum physics and consciousness. - I know next to nothing about physics, and zero about quantum physics. What I read, however, is mind-blowing; some things that have been demonstrated about quantum physics, such as a particle being in two places at once (if I understood correctly), I just can't comprehend. But one quantum physicist has theorized that there may be physical attributes at the sub-atomic level in human cells that are the foundation of human consciousness. That's about all I get, but it's really fascinating to consider. Research continues, and there are plenty of skeptics, but there is also some evidence to suggest it's a possibility. Unidentified flying objects. - which are just that: unidentified. It doesn't mean they're aliens. The chapter focuses on sightings in 2008 in Stephenville, Texas, of very large aircraft that had strange lights and alternately hovered and sped away at incredible speeds. These sightings were corroborated by many, many residents of the town. Were these alien spacecraft? Were they a top secret military experiment? Unclear, but intriguing and provocative. Space travel. Completely eye-opening to read about the transformations space travelers have experienced just from viewing earth from space. We've all seen the beautiful photographs of earth, but astronauts have said the photos are not spiritually awakening the way the real experience is. Meditation. This was especially interesting to me because in high school I took a Transcendental Meditation class and, for a few years, practiced TM twice a day, so I had some sense of what meditation can do. The chapter looks into questions about what might be happening in the mind of one who meditates regularly, and the possibilities are fascinating - theoretical, unproved, but fascinating. Lucid dreaming. The subject of the movie Inception (and for those who are old enough, Dreamscape from the 1980s), lucid dreaming sounds like it really happens and can have valuable therapeutic benefits, if you believe the proponents. Some of the stories - while fantastic - are gripping. After-death communication. This is a bit of a misnomer... or maybe not. It has to do with a therapy used for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) used fairly widely now, and adopted by some advocates with the Veterans' Administration. It seemed to me that PTSD sufferers who - through this therapy - felt they experienced encounters with people whose deaths they witnessed or by which they were profoundly affected, were really provided just with a way to process those painful memories that had previously gone unprocessed. Does it really matter? What counts is that this therapy seems, at least anecdotally, to work. What I take, overall, from this book, is that I shouldn't be so damned sure of myself. Volk argues that the world needs far more humility; people should be open to a more nuanced view of life, less black and white. He points to many modern (and burgeoning) examples of polarization in society: science versus religion, skeptics versus believers, far left versus far right, just to name a few, and implores all of us to come out of our corners and meet in the middle. Consider the possibilities, and be just a little less entrenched. Really well-written, mind-opening book. I encourage you to read it.

Esteban Molina _steban_olina — Stephen Ambrose is my favorite historian of World War II and his Pegasus Bridge does not disappoint. This book tells the story of the first engagement of D-Day and of the men on both sides who participated in it. Ambrose is wonderfully able to make history come to life. Reading Pegasus Bridge made me once again think on the incredible sacrifices that my grandfather's generation (my was with Patton’s Sixth army in Europe) was called upon to make. I’m not one to elevate those who were called upon to fight to a rarefied status but I am impressed and humbled by what they accomplished and what they had to go through. They had a terrible task put before them and they performed that task well.
