Title : The Field : the quest for the secret force of the universe
Author : Lynne McTaggart
"During the pas few decades science has begun to prove what ancient myth and religion has always espoused: that there may be such a thing as a life force. Frontier scientists all over the globe have produced extraordinary evidence to show that an energy field – the Zero Point Field – connects everything in the universe, and we ourselves are part of this vast dynamic cobweb of energy exchange.
This book is a highly readable scientific detective story which reveals how the Field is responsible for many of the most profound human mysteries, from alternative medicine and spiritual healing to extra-sensory perception and the collective uncounscious"
I think the concepts and discoveries presented in this book can be linked also with the Superstring theory : the basic idea is that the fundamental constituents of reality are strings of the Planck length which vibrate at resonant frequencies. Every string in theory has a unique resonance, or harmonic. Different harmonics determine different fundamental forces. The tension in a string is on the order of the Planck force.
In this video, physicist Brian Green explains the superstring theory : the idea that miniscule strands of energy vibrating in 11 dimensions create every particle and force in the universe.

Peaceful Warrior is a film inspired by true events that occurred to Dan Millman in 1966 and narrated in his book Way of the Peaceful Warrior: A Book That Changes Lives
.
“Dan Millman is a talented, yet arrogant college gymnast who seems to have it all. He gets good grades, has disposable relationships and is trying out for the Olympics. But he still wakes up in cold sweats at night. His world is turned upside down after he meets a mysterious stranger he refers to as Socrates . Socrates seems to hold the power to tap into new worlds of strength and understanding and becomes Dan s mentor guiding him through various avenues of his life. Dan suffers from a serious injury, and with the help of Socrates and a mysterious young woman , he grows to realize that strength of spirit is what leads a man to his true greatness. He learns that he has to let go of the person he thought he was and start living in the moment by appreciating the journey and accepting his lack of control over the future.”
Here is a trailer of the film :
The DVD can be ordered from Amazon : Peaceful Warrior [2006] [DVD]
Only some of my preferred quotes of Socrates in the film :
People are not their thoughts. They think they are and it brings them all kinds of sadness.
The mind is just a reflex organ. It reacts to everything. Fills your head with millions of random thoughts a day.
Everyone tells you what to do and what’s good for you. They don’t want you to find your own answers. They want you to believe theirs.
I want you to stop gathering information from outside yourself and start gathering it from the inside.
People are afraid of what’s inside, and that’s the only place they’re ever gonna find what they need.
Why can’t you sleep? Is it because, maybe, late at night, when all the noise dies down and you’re lying there in the bed, and there’s nobody around but you, then, maybe, you get a little scared? Scared because suddenly everything feels so empty.
I call myself a peaceful warrior because the battles we fight are all inside.
