A Journey Into Prayer: Pioneers of Prayer in the Laboratory: Agents of Science or Satan?
ABOUT A JOURNEY INTO PRAYEROne of the most predictable consequences of exploring the bridge between  science and religion is that the simple act of questioning authority, on  either side of that bridge, is guaranteed to evoke furious emotions in  those who believe they already know the "truth."  Bill Sweet'sJourney  into Prayeris the story of a father and son who courageously risked  everything to explore the power of prayer, an overview of what they  discovered, and a poignant reminder of the risks faced by all true  pioneers.--Dean Radin, Ph.D., Senior Scientist, Institute of Noetic Sciences,  Author ofThe Conscious UniverseandEntangled Minds,  interviewed in the movieWhat the Bleep: Down the Rabbit  HoleThe name Spindrift is synonymous with what at first seems an oxymoron--the  scientific study of prayer. This group's ground-breaking work, which has  been part of an enormous shift in consciousness, was brought forth at great  personal cost--the apparent suicides of the father-son research team. Bill  Sweet's meticulous account reads like a mystery--one that may never be  solved. But regardless of the tragedy, the Spindrift research is an  important part of the bridge between science and Spirit. May all the good  these researchers have done return to them as an enduring blessing of  peace.--Joan Borysenko, Ph.D.,  Author,Seven Paths to GodandA  Woman's Journey to Godcofounder and former Director of the Mind-Body  Clinic, Harvard Medical SchoolThis book describes the work of some original thinkers, supported by over  20 years of meticulous experimental and analytical research of ingenious  design. It bears on the nature of prayer and of healing, and of powers of  the human mind little appreciated by most people. Because the philosophical  background and the experimental work differs from the mainstream, the  research and its important implications for all of us has been largely  overlooked. Bill Sweet's homely and disarming writing style presents the  material in a personal way that is easily accessible to readers of all  backgrounds. Read it, enjoy it, and save your judgment until you have  finished and pondered it a while.--Theodore Rockwell, nuclear engineer and Author ofThe Rickover  EffectandCreating The New World
