Science and Human Transformation: Subtle Energies, Intentionality and Consciousness by William A. Tiller Ph.D.(1997-11-01) Paperback

by William A. Tiller (Author)
4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars 35 ratings
See all formats and editions
Overall this book is a paradigm-breaking book for science in that it reveals in some detail a viable larger perspective and framework for scientific description of nature and human evolvement in that framework. It is also a conscious-raising book and a hope-raising book for humanity in that it shows people how to use their own intentionality to bring about...beneficial...changes...in their own bodies. Such changes naturally lead to significant growth in the individual's consciousness.

Dr. Tiler's book will no doubt go down in history as one of the most important books on alternative physics. This book outlines the new physics that are changing the world as we speak.

Perhaps most important are the author's descriptions of a new way to understand and think about the physics of acupuncture and the meridians. Present-day science cannot yet explain how acupuncture, acupressure and meridian massage work, yet they does.

The author de-mystifies the mystical. The book is paradigm shifting, and for this reason, deserves five stars.

This book is so well written and very detailed. If you’re looking at a book like this then more than likely you have some knowledge about subtle energies, and this is a great expansion to bridge the gap the humans perceive between science and spirit. Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating but over my head
Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2005
Having studied college-level physics, biology, chemistry and calculus many years ago, I thought I would have a bit more than just the fundamental knowledge necessary to understand the scientific language and ideas presented in this book. However, I had to quickly turn pages because I was unable to comprehend most of the ideas. It was a shame because I am deeply intrigued by the topic and was looking for something that would further explain some of my questions. It's likely I took on more than I could chew as the average layman, but I was under the impression upon buying it that a science-minded person could decipher 80% of it. Nevertheless, I will probe even deeper into the subject -- Tiller's book did not cause my interest to wane.

Difficult to read if you are not a math/physics whiz. Even so, there is much to gain by reading this book. So much of our understanding of physics a la Descartes is outdated in light of Tiller's experiments and models. This book will change your perception of things such as telepathy, clairvoyance, and healing through meditation. Mind blowing to say the least.

For context: I am a chaote and very interested in the union of science and paranormal phenomena.

This book is trying to be too many things at once, and this decoherence reduces its effectiveness in all areas. It's advertised as effectively a scientific paper on a novel multidimensional theory of physics to explain paranormal phenomena, but immediately the foreword and first chapter makes references to philosophical concepts like love and consciousness without formal definitions, later on devolving into consciousness-raising and anti-western new age sentiments. Some chapters are basically data dumps of very specific phenomenon, whereas others have a specific point and reference a variety of phenomena to "prove" it, which is scientifically backwards.

This is really 3 books smashed together into an incoherent mess which leaves its 3 audiences (scientists, psychics, and new agers) all dissatisfied. It needs to be split into 1. an academic paper detailing the theory, its qualitative and quantitative aspects, and suggested methodologies for further refinement, 2. a compendium of interesting validations of paranormal and psychic phenomena and 3. a treatise on how the world needs to raise its consciousness and how to do it.

As for the core theory, it reads a lot like it was thought of first and retroactively proven. Not that it's invalid, it feels more like the epicycle theories of planetary motion before we realized we had a solar system - epicycles, fittingly enough because the book talks a lot about fourier transforms which are intimately connected, are capable of describing all forms of movement with arbitrary precision. I think the theory is too general and needs a few years trying to reduce and simplify it as much as possible so it's able to make meaningful predictions with the primary goal of fitting as much phenomena as it can, piece by piece. Start with the 2 conjugate spacetimes because that has a lot of explanatory power - the surrounding "emotion", "mental", and "spiritual" planes are alarming to a skeptic and explain very little since none of these are ever actually defined quantitatively. The concept of deltrons feels like a hacky patch to the system and are treated effectively like magic "does whatever you want" particles, though I don't think it's entirely a lost cause because of how it connects to chaos magick. Chaos Magick says that belief is the primary means of reality manifestation, so conceptions of "energy" are ultimately psychological and infinite; experientially there does seem to be a fundamental limit, eg seance circles require several months of group effort for the "energy" to build, no matter how adept or believing its participants. Deltrons would resolve this, as they suggest there's infinite psychic energy in the conjugate plane, but access to it is limited by the concentration of deltrons.

As for the writing... Informationally it's very sparse. There are chunks of really terse technical information, but in between the same things are repeated over and over again with the floweriest of language. This isn't academia, you don't have to impress anyone. Try to state things as tersely as possible - reading through, if anything could be removed without changing the meaning, remove it. And if many sentences contribute to one idea, combine them. I actually got so bored reading by page 220 that I started skipping pages, skimming, and even skipped the last 2 chapters (though I was already familiar with radionics). This could easily be a 100 page book if the fat was trimmed properly, which would make it much more accessible.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk

This book creates a bridge between modern physics and the realm of subtle energies. With well founded experiments and deep and suggestive theoretical ideas, it opens the way to an expansion of our scientific conceptions to include those other energies that are increasingly important for our comprehension of the world around us.

4.0 out of 5 stars Truly a scholarly- in depth -scientific approach to energies and phenomena currently outside common scientific acceptance
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 4, 2016

Truly a scholarly- in depth -scientific approach to energies and phenomena currently outside common scientific acceptance. Not for the light hearted reader as it contains complex mathematics, physics and quantum mechanics, as tools to prove these phenomena which ultimately it does. It is interesting to note the experiments that have been conducted in a scientific manner, that show the interaction between the thought-reality process. This book goes into the group of literature that relates to how reality is ultimately a thought process. Being science savvy, it is a further insight, as to how quantum mechanics is finally providing "proof" of this. Definitely recommended
