One of the best books ever - The Secret Life of Inanimate Objects by Lyall Watson

Hi GLPers!

I want to recommend a book for anyone who likes reading and is into metaphysics and stuff. This book (The Secret Life of Inanimate Objects by Lyall Watson) is one of the best books I have ever read. It talks about psychometry and how some things seem to have a life of their own. I particularly love the section on computers and how they could be "aware". All the author's speculations and theories are backed up by many recounts of true events, history and his own personal experiences and he connects everything together. Fascinating book! In fact, all the author's books are fascinating.

"In ''The Nature of Things: The Secret Life of Inanimate Objects'' (Destiny Books, 1990), Lyall Watson, a British biologist, explores the idea that ownership brings to life the inanimate. The book is full of stories of objects trying to find their original owners, or turning on their current ones and otherwise behaving in a disorderly fashion."

"I once remember reading a book from my local library entitled The Nature Of Things: The Secret Life Of Inanimate Objects. The author of the book was Lyall Watson. It was an extremely fascinating book to say the very least. What this book basically suggests is that ALL matter -EVERYTHING- is endowed with SOME kind of 'life'. In this book, Watson explores the subtle forces of memory fields and suggests that matter has the capacity to absorb emotional “fingerprints”, the mental fossils that channel echoes from the past. He demonstrates the complexity of inanimate life and offers possible proof of our sensitivity to its minute, natural patterns of energy. Watson also makes a commendable effort to justify his astonishing claims through a variety of anecdotes about lost wedding rings suddenly finding their way back to their owners as if it is of their own accord, statues of 'holy' personages that apparently bleed and cry as well as places that seem to project noticeably 'sad' or 'happy' vibes whenever people enter them. Certainly, this concept of all-permeating life is not foreign to many religions of the East. The notion that 'divine consciousness' pervades each and every atom is common to many branches of the vast tree of Hindu philosophy. Similarly, some Buddhists believe that what they call the 'buddha nature' is not only sentient but also omnipresent as well. Even scientists studying quantum physics believe that there may exist a 'unified field' where matter, energy and consciousness are all one unified whole. Does it seem possible to you that matter, ALL matter, is conscious?"
