Salute to Mr. Bentov ! The truth between religion and science.

Mr. Bentov died in an airplane crash accident after he revealed his crucial knowledge by this book and his speech at public, while he worked with cia mental control program.

CIA and TV data has shown Mr. Bentov addressed Humans subconsciousness can be driven like a vehicle. The driver who control our Consciousness can abandon that vehicle after the vehicle was abused to became useless y to hat means Mental illness and death.

How we been controlled mentally, and how our brain communicated with other brains. It’s all science.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Look Back at Quantum Mechanics
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2017
This book was published in 1977. It's an outdated classic. The first 6 chapters are still pretty solid; that is, Bentov does a great job of explaining quantum physics in layman's terms. (Everything in the Universe is vibration, including us. What we think of as solid reality is just our slow human brains trying to make sense of information that is moving at the speed of light.) By about chapter 7, the current science outpaces Bentov's explanations, and by chapter 8, his "Model of the Universe," we know that the material is outdated and some of it is incorrect. He discusses, for example, a Universe that expands and then eventually collapses back into itself, with time traveling backwards. In 2011, however, three scientists - Saul Perlmutter, Brian Schmidt, and Adam Riess - won the Nobel Prize for Physics for the discovery that our Universe is expanding forever outward and will NOT collapse back onto itself. This is just one of many of Bentov's theories that has been proven wrong, though I hope that some of his ideas prove correct in the future. Stalking the Wild Pendulum is still a very good review of what was considered the cutting edge of consciousness theory 40 years ago.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is hundreds of years ahead of its time

This book is a true masterpiece. Very few works contain this magnitude of insight into the realms of science that we have yet to begin unfolding. Bentov is on the same level as Einstein, if not higher, and this book proves it. The true reason I wrote this review though was to be a rebuttal to another review I saw, and there is no reply button. The first comment I could see was by someone named Laura who deservedly gave the book 5 stars. She said that the first 6 chapters are amazing but after that, they lag behind modern science because this book was written in the 70’s. Her point is that Bentov states the universe is expanding like a quasar and eventually collapses back on itself creating a sort of cosmic egg that is our universe. Laura states that the 2011 Nobel prize in physics went to men who ‘proved’ that the universe is always accelerating outwards and not into itself. This information, as amazing and valuable as it is, is not the ENTIRE UNIVERSE, just the OBSERVABLE UNIVERSE, which Bentov speaks about and distinctly separates. Bentov shows in this book that we are a teeny-tiny microscopic part of the cosmos, and what we study is just a tiny fraction of the real processes that govern our realm. The very stars that those Nobel laureates studied may not be deep enough in our universe to witness everything coming back on itself, maybe we will never visualize what Bentov proposed. What Bentov is saying is not dismissible by modern science because it is simply light years ahead of our capabilities to understand. Please read this book. I can’t say it enough.
