Michael Talbot

    September 29, 1953 – May 27, 1992

    Michael Talbot's writing frequently explored the confluence of science and spirituality, delving into mystical concepts and the paranormal. His most acclaimed work examined the theory that the entire universe is a hologram, a concept that continues to spark discussion. Despite building a cult following for his fictional explorations within the horror genre, his non-fiction profoundly impacted readers by bridging the gap between the tangible and the extraordinary. Talbot's legacy lies in his unique ability to question the nature of reality and present profound ideas with compelling clarity.

      Today nearly everyone is familiar with holograms, three-dimensional images projected into space with the aid of a laser. Now, two of the world's most eminent thinkers - University of London physicists David Bohm, a former protege of Einstein's and one of the world's most respected quantum physicists, and Stanford neurophysiologist Karl Pribram, one of the architects of our modern understanding of the brain - 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. This remarkable new way of looking at the universe explains now only many of the unsolved puzzles of physics, but also such mysterious occurrences as telepathy, out-of-body and near death experiences, "lucid" dreams, and even religious and mystical experiences such as feelings of cosmic unity and miraculous healings.

      The holographic universe
    • An account of how quantum physics is putting forward ideas that confirm the perceived beliefs of mystics who think the world is an illusion.

      Mysticism and the New Physics
    • Federico Maria Sardelli, a professional baroque flautist and recorder-player, offers insights into the diverse sizes and tunings of the recorder and transverse flute families in relation to Antonio Vivaldi's compositions. Drawing extensively from primary documents, he analyzes the surprisingly progressive instrumental techniques in Vivaldi's music. The text discusses the debated chronology of Vivaldi's works, utilizing both internal and external evidence. Each piece featuring the flute or recorder is thoroughly evaluated from historical, biographical, technical, and aesthetic perspectives. This work appeals not only to Vivaldi scholars and enthusiasts but also to players of these instruments, organology students, and those interested in late baroque music. Vivaldi's oeuvre continues to reveal surprises, with new pieces being discovered and old ones reinterpreted. The new English edition incorporates recent findings and developments since the original Italian publication, providing a richer understanding of the composer and his era. Readers will gain valuable insights from the detailed examination of his music for these wind instruments, which also hold broader relevance for his overall work. Generous music examples and illustrations enhance the book's arguments, bringing Sardelli's analysis to life.

    • Autor podaje naukowe dowody na to, że rzeczywistość to gigantyczny hologram, trójwymiarowy obraz stworzony przez ludzki mózg. Dowiesz się, że sygnały wzrokowe odczytywane przez mózg są hologramami, a wspomnienia nie mają jednego umiejscowienia. Tworzą one holograficzną siatkę zgodnie z założeniami interferencji i przenikania się fal elektrycznych. Te odkrycia potwierdzają nieograniczone umiejętność mózgu do przejęcia różnych funkcji w momencie uszkodzenia jednego z jego obszarów. Holograficzny model mózgu wyjaśnia również zdolność do fizycznego odczuwania zjawisk poza fizycznymi granicami ciała, na przykład, odczuwanie bólów fantomowych po amputacji kończyn.

      Holograficzny wszechświat
    • Sú chvíle, keď človek cíti, že sa ho dotýka Boh. Keď prežíva akési pozdvihnutie, keď jednoducho vie, že nie je len telo, ale aj duch a duša. Osobitnú moc vyvolať v nás také pocity má hudba. Jedna nás roztancuje, iná dovedie k slzám, ďalšia očarí, iná poteší... Lebo odhaľuje niečo, čo je viac ako len napísané noty a súzvuk tónov. Naznačuje, že za ňou je čosi, čo sa dotýka našej vnútornej podstaty. "Hovorí sa, že Bach nám dal Božie slovo, Mozart Boží smiech a Beethoven Boží oheň. A Boh nám dal hudbu, aby sme sa mohli modliť bez slov."Kniha Johna M. Talbota hovorí o liturgickej hudbe. O tom, akými ľuďmi majú byť jej skladatelia, interpreti, akú úlohu zohrávajú v liturgii i v Cirkvi moderné hudobné štýly (napr. aj rock, jazz, rap), ako môže dobrá hudba prispieť k tomu, aby liturgická slávnosť povznášala...Orchester už hrá. Sme pozvaní pripojiť sa k nemu a mať účasť na Božej hudbe. Nielen jej počúvaním, ale aj spevom - vlastným životom.
