This is the fourth of Dunne's books on
'Serialism' his theory of time and
consciousness which sets out to
address the dual aspects of matter,
energy and self-consciousness.
In this volume Dunne examines the
implications for the individual, presents
arguments for the immortality of all
minds and for the existence of an
overarching all-consciousness.
Another thought provoking volume to
follow on from 'An Experiment with Time'
and 'The Serial Universe'.
THE NEW IMMORTALITY Dunne's conclusions

NOTHING DIES Dunne's serialism Paperback
|
What about that curious feeling that
nearly everyone has now and then
experienced - that sudden, fleeting,
disturbing conviction that something
which is happening at that moment has
happened before? What about all those
dreams which, after being completely
forgotten, are suddenly, for no apparent
reason, recalled later in the day? What is
the association which recalls them?
Was it possible that these phenomena
were not abnormal, but normal? It was
absolutely inconceivable that a thing of
this sort, if true, could have managed to
escape, through all these centuries,
universal perception and recognition.'

This book about the perfectly normal
ability to see the future created a
national commotion in the 1920's.
This book follows 'An Experiment With Time',
and examines the implications of Dunne's
'Serialism' for the physical sciences.
Most of the book is accessible to the
interested non-mathematical reader, and you
are unlikely to find a better short history of the
arguments and experiments giving rise to
quantum theory than that found in part three.
Serialism is the theory that arises from
acknowledging that the experience of the
passage of time implies that time requires
another kind of 'time' to 'pass in', however
this acknowledgement alone only pushes
the difficulty onto the second 'time' and a
whole series of 'times' appears to need
consideration.
Self-conciousness displays the same
character with the self who is consious
requiring another 'self' to be consious of the
consiousness and so on.
As stated on the cover this book was
written to bring 'Serialism' to readers
who find mathematics discouraging.
A good introduction to Dunne's theory.
