The Yoga of Time Travel: How the Mind Can Defeat Time

The last few years my reading interests have taken me to exciting places full of adventure, love, action and beauty in mind, body and spirit. One of my many passions over the years has been the subject of time travel; therefore, almost any book about this and related fields I usually purchase.This particular 260 page soft cover volume, which I purchased on Amazon for a bargain price, (The Yoga of Time Travel: How the mind can defeat time by Fred Alan Wolf, Ph.D.) caught my eye because I am also into things like Tai Chi, Qigong, Yoga, Astral projection and travel and numerous Martial Arts.What I found so fascinating with this book is how the author combined the science of physics and Yoga meditation exercises to make a case for time travel. The author is formally trained in physics and provides an overview of the various Quantum physics research and how it actually may apply to our consciousness being able to time travel. This is not actually a “how to book” but quotes Yoga masters on how the mind can time travel using Yoga meditation techniques.This book is organized into 11 chapters covering the following topics: The ancient art of time cheating, a brief overview of sacred time and space, an overview of physical time and space, time and space enough, the physics of ordinary time travel, the paradoxes of physical time travel, the technology of ordinary time travel, the physics of extraordinary time travel, time, mind and probability, the spiritual dimension of time travel, and summary and conclusions. There is also an appendix section about classical and quantum computers.If you seeking a clearly scientific and more intellectual approach to time travel you should checkout this book; however, keep in mind this book does not give any specific lessons and techniques of how to time travel but rather points to “Mind Yoga” as one method to cheat time.Rating: 5 Stars.

Friend gave me this book then I've decided to buy it. It took me awhile to complete it. First few chapters are not that easy to read, but once you get to the middle of the book and understand the quantum physics part, it is amazing. New approach and way of thinking opens up your horizon. I think it all depends on what you believe in and how you will comprehend and take what is said in the book. I find it new way of looking at things in life, challenge the mind for a change and embrace the change. I had watched Fred Alan Wolf on Netflix but hadn't read anything written by him I liked it."In Quantum physic Possibility -waves are not measurable objects, but over the time these waves produce measurable probability- curve. In order to get a different outcome of probability - curve the possibility -waves must be changed which is the foundation of the different outcomes. In order to change the habit one must want to be aware of the habit and keep in mind all the time that the habit that is now unconscious, once had consciousness, which needs to be changed, difficult, but possible to do with awareness, willingness, and a lot of possibility waves that are conscious to change that habit. Outcome is amazing when you accomplish it. " - Grace Keshishyan

The title is far more provocative than the book. Most of the discussion centers on aspects of quantum physics that Wolf has written about multiple times now. If you've read his excellent PARALLEL UNIVERSES, for example, you've already assimilated much of what THE YOGA OF TIME TRAVEL has to say. Discussions of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, parallel universes, space-time, and the communication between past, present, and future have already been covered in several of Wolf's books. If you are already familiar with such concepts, you don't need 150 pages of background and foundation for what, in the long run, amounts to a very short discussion of mental time travel and its usefulness in improving our lives.Wolf does have a decent chapter on the nature and flow of time, although his terminology gets a bit dense. While the book is, for the most part, readable and accessible for the layman, it does occasionally lapse into the same complexity and disorganization so evident in his very disappointing THE DREAMING UNIVERSE.Ultimately, the thesis of the entire work comes down to the following: one may free oneself from the contraints of time through meditation, entering into the timeless realm where one surrenders the ego (and hence the endorsement by Deepak Chopra). But do we need all the repetitive scientific explanations to arrive at this conclusion, which is explained in a hundred other books? Wolf also claims that by traveling back in time--i.e., remembering--we can become happier by learning from our mistakes and forgiving ourselves and others. Okay, true enough, but this isn't exactly a revelation.For Wolf, time travel is a mental construct (short of a real time machine), a notion that seems painfully obvious. We can approach time travel through "unfocusing," thus freeing ourselves from Heisenberg's observer effect ... or we can meditate. It all comes down to the same thing.Handled differently, this could have been a great book, one Wolf is certainly capable of writing. In the end, however, I didn't learn anything new from this particular treatise.

I haven't finished it yet but I really enjoy the read. Past comments noted that many of the authors book re-hashed the same information but since it's the first book I read by this author, there is nothing that keeps me from enjoying. So far, it is really great.

Go for it.

I got a 15 years old book, pages are old & brown in colour

Good book,very informative.

good book
