Reading the adverse commentaries by scientists on Marco Pogacnik's book serves more as a comment on their view of reality rather than on the contents of Marco's book. As Quantum Mechanics demonstrates to the other sciences and engineering that the universe is energy, the proposition that forms of energy can be intelligent (as in human beings and other known life forms) becomes a logical next field of examination. Science is moving toward a knowledge base that intuitive humans have explored for perhaps as long as humans walked the earth. As one indigenous knowledge carrier commented "It was not until white man developed the language of quantum mechanics that they offered a language form comparable to our ancient tongue."
I first met Marco's book in 1998, on his coffee table in his living room in Slovenia. As his house guest, but not knowing anything about the man, I asked if I could read it. By midnight that evening, I concluded either the man was utterly delusional, or he had just repealed my understanding 2,000 years of mainstream Judeo-Christian reality.
When I encounter something completely outside of my field of experience, I make it a practice of believing what they say and then setting out to test how it is possible. If to the contrary, I were to begin by saying "what utter nonsense", then I close the door and will be assured of learning nothing new. Sometimes I do learn that what they say is utter nonsense, but not always, and it is in the latter cases that my planes of reality expand, my understanding deepens and grows.
So, a few weeks later in London I bought his book, and set about trying to see if I could replicate his experience, to connect with intelligent beings formed not of physical matter but unseen energy. At first, I could not help thinking I was experiencing an over-active imagination - that I was engaged in a conversation with myself. However, as the information coming through began to go outside my experience, I either had to conclude that I was a lot smarter than I thought, or that Marco was on to something. Since I introduced his book to others, and observing the same experience in them, it seems Marco is indeed opening a door to a new plane of reality... Marco and many others, as indeed the opportunity to go to this plane is open to anyone. You don't need millions in scientific equipment or laboratories to get started; you don't need a tenured salary or acknowledgement of your peers to begin. You need simply to quiet down, introduce yourself (good manners are important), and ask if anyone is out there... and then when an answer pops into your head, (instantly because such answers bypass sensory wiring) go with it.
Unlike many breathless new enlightenment authors, who tend to wrap their new discovery in a hyped package of workshops, tapes, and self-enlightenment books pitched on a colourful web-site, Marco writes much more like a scientist - observing, engaging, providing form and structure. He describes an experience: he describes what he perceives, he describes his interaction, and in some of these, he describes his resolution. In doing so, we are engaged, invited to be along side of him, and to follow the process he uses. He doesn't seek to make us be or act like him, but rather to find our own ways, for us to walk through the door and explore, where all he offers in the book is to open the door.
At times his language is thick - not because it is English as a second language, his command of English in conversation is excellent - but because he writes in a scientific form although about a field of science that would be as popular with mainstream scientists as a fundamentalist writing for his church on the truth of evolution. It will be interesting to see how long it will take science to turn its attention to his work - maybe not as long as we might expect.
When I met him, he was writing his second book, Christ Power and the Earth Goddess, a Fifth Gospel in which he tests the words of the New Testament. In doing so calls attention to passages which really are quite odd, and which Marco suggests were not there originally, but added as the Church Councils sought to transform a message into an institution. Time for another reality challenge.
Now Amazon lists seven books as Marco explores the world from this proposition that the universe is intelligent, contains many intelligent beings which are directly accessible and who are interested in human beings. I've bought all of them and find gems in each.
Well worth reading, but do approach with an open mind... especially if you are a scientist or dogmatist.
