Overview

"This zero-point Akashic field - or ""A-field"" - is not only the original source of all things that arise in time and space; it is, also, the constant and enduring memory of the universe. It holds the record of all that ever happened in life, on Earth and in the cosmos and relates it to all that is yet to happen. Scientist and philosopher Ervin Laszlo conveys the essential element of this vision of the ""informed universe"" in language that is accessible and clear. The informed universe lends credence to our deepest intuitions of the oneness of life and the whole of creation. We discover that, as philosopher William James stated, ""we are like islands in the sea, separate on the surface but connected in the deep."""

Reviews

Laszlo easily and ably presents the scientific case in terms everyone can understand. There is an extensive bibliography of technical journals for those who wish to know more.

This is one of the most important books to be published in the last decades. Ervin Laszlo's Science and the Akashic Field has the power and coherence to explain the major phenomena of cosmos, life, and mind as they occur at the various levels of nature and society. In demonstrating that an information field is a fundamental factor in the universe, Ervin Laszlo catalyzes a radical paradigm-shift in the contemporary sciences. --Ignazio Masulli, Ph.D., professor of history, University of Bologna, Italy, and coauthor of The Evolution of Cognitive Maps
