Overview

Alchemists of the old attempted to make sense of the universeto discover the connection between mind and matter. Some of today's scientists, in particular quantum physicists, are doing the same. In his latest contribution to the study of consciousness, physicist Fred Alan Wolf reveals what he calls the new alchemy a melding of the ideas of the old alchemists and the new scientists to reach a fuller understanding of the mind and matter.

What People are Saying About This

Deepak Chopra

I consider Fred Alan Wolf one of the most important pioneers in the field of consciousness. Over the years his writings have greatly contributed to my understanding of the relationship between science and spirit. Mind into Matter offers fresh and exhilarating insights into how the unmanifest becomes the manifest and how our consciousness moment by moment creates the world and the universe that we inhabit. This book could change the way you perceive the world. (Deepak Chopra, Author of How to Know God)

Kenneth Ring

In Mind into Matter, Fred Alan Wolf boldly asserts that the source of matter is the mind, and that "without you, there wouldn't be a universe." How refreshing to have a scientist put the emphasis on the individual---where it belongs! Wolf has written a glorious entertainment for the mind that matters. (Kenneth Ring, Ph.D., Author of Lessons from the Light)

Glen P. Kezwer

Mind into Matter allows readers to look at their own inner mechanism and better understand the consciousness which gives them life and makes them aware of the outer world of forms and phenomena in which they live. Ultimately, the gap between "in here" and "out there" must be bridged, and the two must meet in an understanding of oneness or universality; Fred Wolf provides the tools through which this can be accomplished. (Glen P. Kezwer, Ph.D., Author of Meditation, Oneness and Physics)

Stanley Krippner

The alleged transformation of mind into matter has been a perennial controversy in both science and the humanities. In this provocative and pioneering book, Fred Alan Wolf has proposed an agenda for the "new Alchemists" who will continue this "Great Work." Each chapter of Mind into Matter is replete with proposals so ingenious and insights so outrageous that the reader will never look at consciousness and the cosmos in the same way again. (Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., Co-author of The Mythic Path)

Michael Toms

Once again, physicist Fred Alan Wolf, takes us on a magical mystery tour into the adventure land of science and spirit. Mind into Matter breaks new ground that is both enthralling and energizing, giving the reader maps to explore consciousness and the cosmic mystery. This is quantum alchemy at its finest. (Michael Toms, Co-founder, host, and executive producer, "New Dimensions" radio program)
