Interviewed in MONDO 2000, you can also read about me in many books like The Cosmic Trigger by Robert Anton Wilson, Bohemia, Where, Art, Angst, Love and Strong Coffee Meet, by Herb Gold, Magic and Paraphysics in Science, Good, Bad and Bogus by Martin Gardner, Cosmic Questions by Richard Morris, The Dancing Wu Li Masters by Gary Zukav. My work is also cited in Time Warps and White Holes by John Gribbon, The Farside by Don Webb in The Year's Best Science Fiction, Eleventh Annual, The Satori Trilogy by Dennis Schmidt, and in books by Timothy Leary whose titles I forgot! :-) See also Sarfatti's Illuminati.
I am currently writing a book called The Destiny Matrix which will include an interactive CD ROM that I am authoring.
The basic idea of The Destiny Matrix is that the physical world naturally divides into matter and mind. Matter consists of the particles and fields of classical physics. Mind consists of the quantum wave functions of these same particles and fields. The distinction between dead matter and living matter, is that for dead matter the quantum wave function acts on the matter but is not acted upon by the matter. What defines life is the action of sufficiently organized matter back on its own wave function. This allows the wave function to perceive the world of matter and to develop a sense of self awareness and control that we call "free will". Living matter violates the statistical predictions of quantum mechanics today and permits some kinds of what are called "psychic phenomena" researched by the US Military-Intelligence Community.
I am a sociologist concerned with the way the scientific community accepts and rejects new theories and data claims and am also the Director of the Center for Scientific Anomalies Research. I am particularly familiar with Dr. Sarfatti's workbecause I have been researching a piece contracted for OMNI, a science magazine, on the interface between quantum physicists (especially those interested in nonlocality and the role of consciousness in the measurement process) and parapsychology. Dr. Sarfatti's theories have implications for the "paraphysics" research being conducted at SRI International, the Mind Science Foundation, the Institute for Advanced Studies at Austin, and the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research Project. I expect to prominently feature him and his theories in my OMNI article. Dr. Sarfatti is very much an individualist, but I have always found him highly articulate and a warm personality ... Obviously he has gone his own way (certainly an academically unconventional path) in finding support for his work on a theory with extraordinary potential for science and technology. In the process he has attracted the attention of a wide spectrum of persons both within the science community and government. Clearly, he has taken a large risk in pursuing his highly novel, creative and controversial work, but he has always understood that he is playing for very large stakes. If he is right, the rewards would be immense.
