Stalking The Wild Pendulum. On the Mechanics of Consciousness

In his thrilling and original vision of the universe, Itzhak Bentov offers a new perspective on human consciousness and its infinite possibilities. Behind the seemingly familiar world of phenomena, he presents a provocative picture of ourselves within an expanded, conscious, holistic universe. In this book, Bentov explores the intersection of science, spirituality, and consciousness, offering a unique perspective on the universe and human potential. By combining scientific principles with mystical insights, he proposes a universal model that encompasses both physical and non-physical realities. For Bentov, consciousness is a fundamental aspect of existence, permeating all levels—from atoms to galaxies; fascinated by its connection to physiology, he believes consciousness pervades everything. Furthermore, the author introduces the concept of the pendulum as a metaphor for the oscillation between altered states of consciousness and fundamental reality. The work is valuable for its imaginative, original exploration of the relationship between the human mind and the universe.
