Maggiori informazioni sul libro
J.W. Dunne (1866-1949), an English aeronautical engineer and early military aircraft designer, ignited scientific interest and controversy with his 1927 work on multidimensional time. After experiencing precognitive dreams, including a vision of the catastrophic 1902 eruption of Mt. Pelee, Dunne re-evaluated the significance of dreams. He questioned whether dreams could be a mix of past and future events, challenging the conventional view of time as a linear progression. This inquiry led him to explore time in a novel way, conducting a cautious investigation into the nature of reality. He proposed a theory of "Infinite Regress," suggesting that time, consciousness, and the universe exist in four dimensions. Dunne's model intriguingly addresses various life mysteries, including the nature of dreams, the mechanics of prophecy, the concept of the soul's immortality, and the existence of a "general observer" or "Witness" behind consciousness, now referred to as the Higher Self. This work has been described by playwright J.B. Priestley as "one of the most fascinating, most curious, and perhaps the most important books of this age," highlighting its enduring significance in the exploration of time and consciousness.
