Consciousness: Bridging the Gap Between Conventional Science and the New Super Science of Quantum Mechanics

by Eva Herr

Overview

Based on interviews with visionary scientists, philosophers, physicists, and critical
thinkers, this book takes its readers on an exciting journey of discovery. Eva Herr
examines the nature of consciousness; the differences between the mind and the
brain, the body and the soul, and energy and physical objects; and much, much more.
Throughout, her goal is to enhance our understanding of human and cosmic reality
so that we can more effectively interact with the world in which we live.

It is truly a joy to write the foreword to Eva Herr’s remarkable new book on consciousness.

As most of Eva’s readers know, Eva grew up in a Southern Baptist family, later converted to Orthodox Judiasm, and when her second marriage ended, she experienced an intense “dark night of the soul,” that led her to deeply question reality as she presently understood it. Her beloved father had died during this period of time, and Eva never got to say good-bye nor tell her father how much she loved and missed him. One night, Eva had an amazing dream in which she visited with her father in another realm of awareness. There he presented her with lots of information, as well as a greater understanding of consciousness, reality, and the ground of being that each of us share with one another, for ALL are part of the One.

When Eva awakened, the “dark night of the soul” had lifted and she was filled with a desire to understand the incredible gift of information her father had shared with her, a yearning to know still more, and a need to find tangible scientific evidence that what she had suddenly and inexplicably learned is true. And so Eva’s journey into the hidden, invisible “ground of being” began, leading her to still more discoveries and to others, who like her, didn’t shy away from the puzzling, the strange, the unexplained, and the challenging new findings posed to them in their research, their classrooms, their laboratories, and their lives. Eva and the scholars she interviews in this book bravely risked ridicule, ostracism, and criticism when they stepped out of the box of conventional science and chose to further explore the findings and implications about this little known, nonphysical universe that gives rise to our world. Somehow, like Alice in Wonderland, each of them had entered a profoundly different reality and science than most of us ever dream of.

Eva interviews some of the most brilliant, creative, and visionary scientists, philosophers, physicists, and critical thinkers in our world, all with impeccable credentials and truly remarkable accomplishments. Eva courageously asks those willing to share their ideas with her to take her readers along with her on a journey of discovery that few traditional and conventional scientists dare to take. She bravely and intelligently asks questions such as the nature of consciousness, the differences between mind and brain, energy versus physical objects, as well as the nature of body and soul. Eva is seeking answers from each of them to the hard and intriguing questions most of us know little about. Each person Eva interviews reveals the importance, as well as the necessity of paying attention to our subjective, inner experiences in order to more effectively relate and interact with the present world in which we live. Every one of the people interviewed by Eva offer us a new understanding and perception of the self, the world, and the cosmos, as well as a more hopeful understanding of reality at its most fundamental level.

There is remarkable agreement among those interviewed by Eva that consciousness always partners with energy, thereby allowing the passive flow of information to transform itself into intended action. Unless the two work as one, nothing can change or happen in our universe. Unless consciousness and energy travel together, we would have no past and no future, and find ourselves living in a static, meaningless cosmos. And though we still do not know what consciousness is, we learn that it is indeed possible to intentionally engage and affect consciousness and our own personal physical reality on many different levels. What Eva and these extraordinary interviews tell us, is that each of us has the ability to create a more satisfying and fulfilling life than we presently experience. In so doing, we gain clarity and the ability to share in vastly more rarified realms of being, and to grow in understanding and wisdom.

I wish to acknowledge the long journey of study and investigation that Eva has been on since receiving the profound gifts her father so lovingly bestowed upon her. In her interviews, Eva carefully frames and poses the questions she asks each person. She has done her homework and is well prepared. It’s also heartwarming to note the frequent complements Eva receives regarding her questions, as well as the correctness of her comments. I felt all of these brilliant scholars showed respect for Eva’s own level of consciousness, abilities, and discernment. Thus, you will find Eva’s interviews are fluid and invite all of us into the discussion that unfolds. At times during these interviews, I no longer experienced myself as a reader. Instead, I felt as if I were included in the exchange of ideas, eager to ask questions of my own, and to join the fascinating and intriguing exploration of so many new and provocative ideas.

Remembering that each journey begins with the first step taken, I invite all of you to read this important and provocative book that offers us new ideas, a new science and a new vision of reality. Consciousness by Eva Herr calls out to all of humanity, inviting us to explore the hidden, invisible dimensions of existence and personhood, as well as to accept the gifts along with the responsibilities that come with awakening to a more challenging, mysterious universe. In so doing, we will begin to make wiser decisions, more appropriate choices, and take the necessary actions to accomplish the many things we feel called to do in the physical world.

Let us make it so.
