The Mirror Effect is fascinating!

I'm
thoroughly enjoying it -  particularly the way the history, sociology
and psychology are interwoven so beautifully. You guys were really
able to balance intrapsychic and interpersonal with news/popculture -
it feels like the Fast Food Nation of Celebrity (with a peppering of
Malcom Gladwell). I love that it is teeming with facts and personal
stories, and still maintains a historical context. That you were able
to do a powerful book that really clearly explains the parallel
process and potentially devastating implications of The Mirror Effect
on our children is riveting. In addition, the brutal honesty of many
celebs damaged psyches combined with respectful and kind stance for
their pain is fantastic (also such a great way to model healthy
behavior by an audience). It challenges the reader to think and
entertains -- Bravo!

This mirror was amazing for my work, it has increased the credibility of my field within my community 1000%, just last week I was holding a meditation circle with a group who was focusing all of their third chakra energy on the 3/6/ and 9th dimensional rifts, and as we began to say our manthra all in unison, the mirror began to hum, it was a frequency that ran up my kundalini and opened up my third eye, little did I know that writhing this dimension the mirror was opening a portal to hell and demons were able to come out and kidnap 4 Of my group! Needless to say I have returned the product...

When I first saw David Blaine do this trick on TV I was absolutley blown away. I had no idea that this miracle was something you could buy, especially for under $10 bucks. A spectator can really think of any card. You take out the deck, and with no suspicious moves the only card upside down is the one they were thinking of. This normal looking deck can be your "out" anytime you screw up a card trick. Picture this, you're doing a card trick and you force the wrong card, or mess it up another way. You ask what card they were thinking of, & go to the invisible deck and it's their card everytime. They'll wonder if you screwed up the previous trick on purpose! There is a system in place in working with the invisible deck. Just some basic math and a decent memory is all you need to pull this effect off. Also you will have to get used to how to handle the deck. I learned from a DVD and still found the invisible deck to be a little tricky to get the hang of. So I imagine learning from written instruction might be a little more tough. It does require practice but it's worth it because it will work everytime and instantly reset. Of course the deck cannot be examined, but with the proper handling this effect is so straight forward and direct, there's really no need to oversell it. Classic effect at an affordable price. Highly recommended!

Dr. Tiller's excellent book, SCIENCE AND HUMAN TRANSFORMATION, boldly goes where few books dare to enter.  Tiller presents a fascinating model of our universe as being multi-dimensional with a spiritual component.  This book will likely be enjoyed most by readers who have experienced psychic or psycho-kinetic events in their lives, and are seeking a rational explanation for what might be going on.  Those who have not yet had such experiences may not be convinced that such things exist -- even after reading Tiller's fascinating account of how he created a gas-discharge device in the 1970's while he was a professor at Stanford University which demonstrated that "anyone could produce a positive (psychokinetic) result".
SCIENCE AND HUMAN TRANSFORMATION is a joy to read for anyone who loves to play with new ideas and theories.  It contains a wealth of schematic diagrams, charts, equations and references to support the theories Tiller presents.  This book will most appeal to readers who love books they can ponder for some time, as it is packed with such ideas as:  sensory arrays, etheric light cones, nodal networks and holograms.
The main point of SCIENCE AND HUMAN TRANSFORMATION is that the component of mind and consciousness has long been excluded from scientific study, and even omitted from Theories Of Everything (TOEs).  Obviously, if we're going to have a theory of everything it had better include consciousness!  Tiller knows this quite well, and artfully constructs a bridge for future scientists with open minds to cross over to a place where unseen things (such as human energy fields) have huge effects.  If we want to know what has eluded us for so long, we need to go to the very places which are currently least well understood.  SCIENCE AND HUMAN TRANSFORMATION provides a sturdy bridge for us to reach those previously unknown places.

The last Astronomy course I took in college was about the solar system and that was 45 years ago; it was much simpler and Mars had seasons and canals in those days.  Neil deGrasse Tyson has always amazed me with his ease of presentation, whenever I have viewed a show that he was involved with.  With the advances in the equipment that has been developed over the years, our planet, spaceship Earth, has become part of a much more interesting Universe.  Over the years as I lectured my Psychology students about the 'inner universe' and marveled at the fantastic changes that occurred within that study, I was only vaguely aware of what was happening in the larger picture.  What a jumping-off point this book has been in sparking an interest to learn more about the enormous wonders that scientists are discovering and are sharing to expand our knowledge of the big picture. A must read.

Not knowing what to expect from this book I was  surprised to find it speaking directly to my own experiences and beliefs!  I devoured this book all the while thinking "finally, someone who put this in simple understandable terms and a story!".  It is hard to impart the vision of drawing energy  from mental clearing and positive thinking.  I especially loved the "foggy window" exercise.  It made a great visual for the mind.

Even though reading his story ( of course we all have our own stories) you find yourself wondering if all those are true,  Anyone who has developed by accident or practice the art of centering and focus will attest to the uncanny way that things can be made to happen.  It does feel like a touch of magic.

Thanks to the author for this great read that I will recommend to everyone!

If you like delving into how the mind works, you will enjoy this book. It shows us how our mind, body, soul, and spirit work together to form our perceptions in life. It shows us how to observe others and how to "train" our own powers of observation.

This is not light reading, but a fascinating study.

The widespread knowledge of mirror neurons' role could precipitate the reorganization of prohibitive administrative structures - governments, companies, religions, economic paradigms.

Perhaps the explicit acknowledgment of intersubjectivity in public (or less formal social) policy will guide us to increased aggregate happiness.

Bravo.

"The Experiment"is packed full of fascinating ideas that stretch the mind to think in new ways about the world around us and our place in it.
 As a primer on the mechanics of perception,it offers a scientific basis for the validity and reality of the inner experience. It lays the groundwork for the exploration of the final frontier:InnerSpace. As I read it,I could feel the incredibly beautiful images and powerful ideas subtly shifting my habitual way of experiencing life.
 "The Experiment" is truly a mental toolbox for the twenty first century!

This book is just like a mirror to me. It reflects the true me inside. As I read through the book, it continues to point at me from different angles, showing me how low esteem I am! However, the author also provides ways to transform our life once again. After reading this book, I don't mind to read for 2nd and 3rd times, so that I can truly overcome the problem of low esteem.

It's a wonderful type of experience, makes you feel yourself a
true creator!

I like to recommend such a delightful way of perceiving the future to all of my friends!

Dear Carole:

What a delightful experience having a chance to speak with you a few minutes ago !!

I first bought your tapes after seeing one of your demonstrations on television. At the time, I did not think I needed to use them and decided to store them on a book shelf next to my collection of health / nutrition books. I always search for the most natural and holistic approach for maintaining a healthy body and mind.

Then in 2004 I found myself in a situation where my picture was going to be in a highly visible international publication in the Automotive Industry ... with a face that had aged significantly since I bought your tapes. Desperate for quick and dramatic results, I reached for the tapes, brushed off the dust and settled in front of the television hoping for a small miracle -- remembering your words .... "results would be seen within 24 hours".

Admittedly, I was skeptical that I would see any results so quickly. With a two week deadline -- within two weeks I had to submit an electronic photograph for the publication -- I was hopeful for even a small improvement.

I began using the tapes on Friday evening; again Saturday morning, Saturday evening, then again on Sunday morning. Just before retiring for the evening on Sunday, I did one more set of exercises.

Since I had brought work home that weekend, my mind was more pre-occupied with thoughts of my work than on noticing facial results. Late Sunday evening -- tired and fatigued with my mind still focused on work -- as I entered the bathroom to brush my teeth, I caught a reflection of myself in the mirror. I wasn't looking directly into the mirror. What I saw was a much younger version of me !!!! Because it was so unexpected, it was astonishing dramatic !! Excitedly, I woke up my husband to see if he could notice the change. He was equally amazed.

I should add a note here about my husband: he is an electrical engineer. As most engineers, he sees everything in life as very black or very white ... and nothing in shades of gray. He views anything new with a great deal of skepticism. Predictably, that weekend he viewed my plan with great amusement and skepticism. As an engineer, though, he did take a scientific approach: he studied my face in detail on Friday evening from all angles ... just in case. Sunday night, a non-believer was very convinced of the dramatic results.

You might enjoy learning of my only disappointment ...

Since I did not really expect to see results so soon, I failed to take "before" pictures !!

I had also intended to mention my exercise plans on Friday to a close friend, Linda, at work so that she could provide me with an honest, unbiased opinion Monday morning as to whether the exercises were achieving their desired results. However, before leaving work on Friday I forgot to mention this to her.

Monday morning, not expecting Linda to notice the change, I visited her office to share with her my "two week" plan. Before I had a chance to say anything, Linda asked, "It looks like you had a very relaxing weekend. What did you do and where did you go ... you look 10 years younger !"

Since that weekend, I have been performing your exercises daily, with the most wonderful results. I continue to look younger and healthier. Although I am 55, most people think I am between 40-45, or younger.

Your tapes are a wonderful gift to women who wish to age with grace. This approach provides the means to tone the facial muscles and skin while eliminating aging signs. Every women could benefit from purchasing your CDs and following your methods. Using this method also has additional advantages and benefits vs. cosmetic surgery: surgery is invasive and only tightens the skin, sometimes altering ones appearance in an unnatural manner -- I have three friends with permanent and visible damage as a result of cosmetic surgery -- and surgery is very expensive. Your exercises build firm muscles and skin tone, without risk and the price of your CDs and DVDs are very reasonable.

I look forward to the new DVD and CDs.

Again, thank you.

Warm regards,

Pam

It's abstract and a new way to think about perceptions and processing. The book is a tough, densely technical read; one of those books that you have to read a section 3 times before it sinks in half way. Simply put, I am blown away and it is changing the way I process images. The book is like a college level course, with homework. Of course the homework is fun.... Lab is now my primary tool of choice in Photoshop CS2.

The whole punch line in the book is that as humans we evolved to be able to differentiate colors; that must have made us better hunters as cave men to be able to see something hiding in the bushes that we need to kill and eat. It is a perception thing; we tend to remember rainbows as very intense and colorful and can stand in a forest and see so many nuances of green and then back at our computers, we wonder what happened to all the colors? We then are more drawn to color variety and consider that as more attractive.

So it isn't necessarily more saturation, it's really color variety/variation that attracts us. Next time you photograph a scene, really study the color variation and then go back and look at it in Photoshop. It quite often looks flatter and less interesting on screen. The book presents how to pull that variation out in a way that starts to match our mind's eye or perceptions. Not for the novice; very advanced stuff, but well worth it!

Buy the book!

A very interesting read. It confirms how visual impressions affect one's reaction and is very interesting. Observation is the key to learning.

I'm all too ready to be open-minded regarding matters of conciousness - it is absolutely fascinating. In fact, I found many (not all) of the authors' insights regarding our human propensity to proclaim we know more scientifically about the universe than may be humanly possible. However, in the last 3-4 chapters of the book, I had a strange case of deja vu. Many of the central themes (minus the death defying, immortality claim) were outlined more than 45-60 years ago by eastern/western philosopher Alan W. Watts (who died in 1973). There is a treasure trove of Watt's lectures available free on youtube. Go see for yourself. E.g., Watts often spoke of the human nature to be "prickly" (analytical, fact-oriented, hardcore material rationalists) or "goo" types (flexible, open-minded, out-of-the-box albeit skeptical thinkers). In the biocentrism theory work-up, the authors use the terms "rough" and "smooth" for these same personality types (lol). There are numerous, uncanny similarities like this example among the themes explored by both parties. I have no problem with authors invoking the ideas of earlier thinkers (Aristotle anybody) as long as credit is given where credit is due. It's amazing how many contemporarty philosophers pilfer Watt's ideas without mentioning his name. It was also strange that the authors chastise the scientific community (particularly physicists) for making grandiose, unsupported truth claims while themselves making a similarly unfounded, grandiose, truth claim (biocentrism - idea that the act of concious observation creates our subjective reality - whereas in the absense of concious observation, reality as we understand it does not exist). This is probably the most significant departure between Watts and the authors.  Watts, I believe, envisioned a natural reality beyond concious observation. However, like the present authors, Watts viewed all material things rather as transient forms which are forever changing and interacting transactionally with everything else. That is to say, it is the universal transformation of material and energy operating at a grand scale of informational evolution. Consequently, Universe is all and all is Universe - one in the same.
I did feel the book was well-written. Certainly some of the better expository writing I have seen in a while. The book is a good read and I would recommend it for the "goo" or "smooth" types while perhaps a little out there for the "prickles" (aka "rough") types.

Just finished the Kindle version of this book and found it to be absolutely fascinating. I also thought the dialog between Geraint and Luke was thought-provoking and fun -- a nice counter-balance to the (necessarily) sometimes-dense scientific explanations of up-and-down quarks, multi-dimensional strings, supersymmetry and quantum strangeness. The authors do a fantastic job of explaining physics, chemistry, inflation and big-bang cosmology too, making it accessible to understand for enthusiastic hacks like me. There were also helpful etymologies of oft-misapplied terms like "fine tuning" and "anthropic principle" along with good strengths/weaknesses assessment of current multiverse theory and the Boltzmann brain questions. The book also had a special treat at the end, with the authors having a shockingly-respectful dialog about physical-metaphysical implications and possible origins of the universe. Too often people troll, belittle and shout down with heavily-prejudiced biases and without healthy examination and listening. Whatever your bias is coming in, you cannot escape the fact that we can agree on this point -- we indeed live in a fortunate universe.

My only minor quibble is that I suspect Canberra is probably a nicer place in the universe than one of the authors seems to suggest. ;o)  Enjoy this read, as I did!

I highly recommend. (Get cracking on the sequel, guys!)
