The concepts raised in this book make me feel more sane. Had an experience of major trauma through a mystery illness. The trauma came from the lack of belief from everyone around me that what I was saying was happening was happening. For the years between then and recovery life was completely different. I was living life through its undercurrents instead of by its projections. So I could see how ones words affected their consequences, and also the effects of bad language and lies on environments and well being. Sensual perception was constantly through the roof and I could not work and had to keep It was quite clear of large groups of people. Instead learned to live by these principles and one day I hope to be a help to others that do not understand certain circumstances. Despite being mostly clear of the illness I have still carried this type of mindset. So now it makes a little more sense and I'm grateful for this upload. Anyone else with a similar experience?
When i was 8/9, i realized what i would think would happen, would happen. Sometimes i was say in a car with someone else, both silent, and suddenly the other person start a discussion about something i was thinking moments before. This started my inquiry in various fields to find an explanation, from science to magic
thanks for taking the time to read this out loud and share it. One of the most underappreciated books and this chapter was a good one to choose to read. Paul Kammerer gets little to no mention anywhere today, but what he started deserves to be looked at in more detail than was ever allowed by those who steer the direction of the sciences today. Perhaps in the future generations may come back to check out his work in more numbers as the disillusionment with the errors they've chosen to believe about reality escalate. And if that happens, then this video could be 1 of the few valuable resources available to them to access any information about him. Like Heinlein said, "Being right too soon is socially unacceptable."
Thank you for your thoughtful reflections on this matter... The Heinlein quote is so on the mark. Also, in the spirit of Goethe, Steiner, and other forethinkers, I was honored to add Koestler's analysis of Kammerer's great work to the philo-spiritual-scientific milieu of digital audiobooks. Would love to read Kammerer's book Das Gesetz Der Serie "The Law of the Series" but is has never been translated from German. If some great thinker who is fluent in German and English should stumble across this comment in the future, consider it a humble request (and farewell, it was noted in The Case of the Midwife Toad that the book was rather dry).
Thank you for this. I've recently taken an interest in quantum mechanics and the weird behaviour of atoms called quantum entanglement - this 'behaviour' apparently does not obey any 'laws' of causality and as such may be analogous to whatever unseen factors 'cause' coincidence.
