In The Field, the author takes the reader along on a quest to understand the metaphysics that underlie our perceived universe.  This book mainly reviews the data and theories of scientists exploring new paradigms in physics, consciousness, and subtle energy fields.  While the evidence in these areas is open to theoretical interpretation, the findings consistently disprove dominant materialistic and mechanistic notions about life and the universe.  The Field makes it evident that a deep analysis of scientific paradigms will lead those seeking a greater truth into the realm of metaphysics and consciousness, which have traditionally been the terrain of mystics, philosophers and spiritual seekers.  This book provides an excellent overview of the most important developments in the sciences that examine the most vital issues of existence.  This book is also great for challenging materialists and even some religious fanatics, as it documents contradictions to widely held beliefs.
