David Icke has become world-famous for his work exposing today’s fast-unfolding global dystopia more than three decades before it became reality. They laughed then. But he didn’t stop there. He went further. Icke knew that the world of the "seen" was only a reflection of something far deeper that ultimately originates with a non-human force in another reality.

Totalitarianism is not a coincidence and does not form in a vacuum. It arises from a collective psychosis that has followed a predictable script throughout history. In The Psychology of Totalitarianism, world-renowned Professor of Clinical Psychology Mattias Desmet deconstructs the societal conditions that allow this collective psychosis to take hold. By looking at our current situation and identifying the phenomenon of “mass formation”—a type of collective hypnosis—he clearly illustrates how close we are to surrendering to totalitarian regimes.

Story
The quest for social justice is a powerful crusade of our time, with an appeal to many different people, for many different reasons. But those who use the same words do not always present the same meanings. Clarifying those meanings is the first step toward finding out what we agree on and disagree on. From there, it is largely a question of what the facts are. Social Justice Fallacies reveals how many things that are thought to be true simply cannot stand up to documented facts, which are often the opposite of what is widely believed.

Few people had a more profound effect on Christianity in the 20th century than G. K. Chesterton. The Everlasting Man, written in response to an anti-Christian history of humans penned by H.G. Wells, is considered Chesterton’s masterpiece. In it, he explains Christ’s place in history, asserting that the Christian myth carries more weight than other mythologies for one simple reason—it is the truth.

Nobel laureate Erwin Schrödinger's What is Life? is one of the great science classics of the 20th century. A distinguished physicist's exploration of the question which lies at the heart of biology, it was written for the layman but proved one of the spurs to the birth of molecular biology and the subsequent discovery of the structure of DNA. It appears here together with "Mind and Matter", his essay investigating a relationship which has eluded and puzzled philosophers since the earliest times.

Nearly everyone is familiar with holograms - three-dimensional images projected into space with the aid of a laser. Two of the world's most eminent thinkers believe that the universe itself may be a giant hologram, quite literally a kind of image or construct created, at least in part, by the human mind. University of London physicist David Bohm, one of the world's most respected quantum physicists, and Stanford neurophysiologist Karl Pribram, an architect of our modern understanding of the brain, have developed a remarkable new way of looking at the universe.

Less than 50,000 years ago mankind had no art, no religion, no sophisticated symbolism, no innovative thinking. Then, in a dramatic and electrifying change, described by scientists as "the greatest riddle in human history," all the skills and qualities that we value most highly in ourselves appeared already fully formed, as though bestowed on us by hidden powers. In Visionary, Graham Hancock sets out to investigate this mysterious "before-and-after moment" and to discover the truth about the influences that gave birth to modern human mind.

Publisher's Summary
The science delusion is the belief that science already understands the nature of reality. The fundamental questions are answered, leaving only the details to be filled in.
In this book, Dr Rupert Sheldrake, one of the world's most innovative scientists, shows that science is being constructed by assumptions that have hardened into dogmas. The sciences would be better off without them: freer, more interesting, and more fun.
According to the dogmas of science, all reality is material or physical. The world is a machine, made up of dead matter. Nature is purposeless. Consciousness is nothing but the physical activity of the brain. Free will is an illusion. God exists only as an idea in human minds; imprisoned within our skulls. But should science be a belief-system, or a method of enquiry?
Sheldrake shows that the materialist ideology is moribund; under its sway, increasingly expensive research is reaping diminishing returns. In the sceptical spirit of true science, Sheldrake turns the 10 fundamental dogmas of materialism into exciting questions, and shows how all of them open up startling new possibilities.
The Science Delusion will radically change your view of what is possible. And give you new hope for the world.

Stick with it . . .
Rupert Sheldrake’s ‘The Science Delusion: Freeing the spirit of enquiry’ commences with an enticing promise to shrug off dogmatism and intolerance in key areas of scientific enquiry. Despite many interesting and appropriate examples, half-way through I was becoming disappointed that the book was more of a rear-guard action against the critics of Sheldrake’s pet theory of morphic resonance. He also has a few personal gripes, some of which take a little ‘bravery’ to get off his chest.
However, fresh insights, based on Sheldrake’s own experience, research and sense of history, drag the book back into a convincing treatise for scientists to acknowledge and move beyond myopia and conformism. Sheldrake’s examples will resonate with many readers. While many of these points are addressed at the level of society, there are insights for individual thinking too.

An intellectual tour de force
Wow. I loved it. Rupert Sheldrake covers such a huge expanse of knowledge with the perfect balance of breadth and depth. His narration is therapeutic and reflects both his formidable intellect and sincerity. Without any bombast or zealotry, he calmly dismantles the materialist worldview and the pretensions of those who champion it as their religion.

Yep ... great points
Basically about making the sciences and scientific research into more of a dialogue of ideas rather than an upholding of dogma. Great brief history of scientific philosophy over the centuries in the introduction, which sets the book up well for an exploration and criticism of the materialistic and mechanistic nature of science and scientific research today. His argument is repeated throughout the book and unfortunately it became a bit tiresome after a while. However the book is littered with lots of examples of anomalies in nature (e.g. the process of DNA coupling) that materialistic science can not explain. His hypothesis of "morphic resonance" to explain such anomalies (and more), is risky , but is fascinating and draws on already established fundamental explanations like quantum mechanics. I plan to read his original book on this proposed theory. Yep recommended.

Wrong title, right analysis
A gem for the thinking person. Sheldrake is not anti-science (hence wrong title), rather, he is dismayed at the intellectual incuriousness of materialism (hence right analysis). Materialism believes the world can be explained by reducing reality to it's constituent parts and physical forces, including you. Thoughts are the product of physics, chemistry and laws of their interaction, and therefore deterministic.
Which makes me and you a form of i-robot. If you think you disagree it's only because a molecule having a chemical reaction told you so! So claim materialists. Sheldrake takes apart the obvious logical fallacies, and takes recourse to scientific methods to take on dogmatism and open up questions about the effects of thought on matter, the evidence for telepathy, questions about the nature of life as an existing phenomenon that materialists explain away, rather than explain.
Read it. It will bring a little bit of wonder back into your daily life, confronted as we are are everyday by the great mysteries of our existence, and our experience of that existence.

Most important book on science since Kuhn’s Structure if Scientific Revolutions
A genuine example of scientific enquiry in the spirit of actual true skepticism.
Anyone ready to take a truly scientific approach by looking into the unfounded assumptions of the modern scientific community.
This book is meticulously researched and it earnestly invites those with a truly skeptical mind to analyse it and offer an retort.. as long as the retort actually relies on actual evidence, instead of blanket dismissal of what is believed to be possible. If there is one thing this book is founded on it is the idea that science can not be founded on dogmatic belief. If you are a true skeptic or a true scientist this idea should appeal to you so read on!

A breath of fresh air!
As a western student scientist with an upbringing based around eastern philosophy I always find great holes in the materialistic model of education.
I am very happy to have discovered the works of Rupert Sheldrake who is conducting a rational inspection of 1. Aspects of our realty that are avoided by materialist science and 2. The dogmas or mechanisms that restrict materialistic science from investigating anything beyond or behind matter.
The fact that so many label Sheldrake as a quack yet they have not read his books or looked at his research just shows that he is a threat to something they hold dear. This is a clear tell tale sign of a dogmatic institution.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Good insistes on the history and philosophy of science and materialism contrasted with other views and some interesting questions to investigate scientifically for the future.

Great summary of the gaps in scientific knowledge
If you are honest about what science knows you realise there is a lot that is not explained and the gaps are bigger than the puzzle pieces we have.
It should give us a lot of humility to really assess this and an open mind to investigate the possibilities instead of writing off large swathes of human experience as delusion.
