Have you read this book ?
From the reviews :
“I was wandering the stacks of the social sciences at the Mizzou library for some books I needed for a research paper when I suddenly found myself in the the middle of large, dark tomes with authors like Einstein, Oppenheimer and Bohr. I was lost. But then I noticed a small colorful, brightly colored book with the irresistible title, ‘Stalking the Wild Pendulum.’ It was red and white with little cartoons inside, so I checked it out. At home, I delayed work on my own research to read it. It completely blew my mind. It contained a theory of the beginning and development of the universe including humankind and it went on to describe the development of consciousness and its drive to know itself. That book had a profound effect on my worldview. I’ve read thousands of books throughout my lifetime but I’ve never forgotten this title or it’s author, Itzhak Bentov. A few years ago I Googled it to try and find a copy. Unfortunately the version I read was no longer in print but I found this one which is much expanded. I’m still blown away. You will never think of the universe, or you place in it, the same way. I can’t recommend it highly enough.”
