I was not ecstatic about reading another three chapters of this book. The first three completely threw me and just totally lost me. So I did not have much hope for 4-6. But then I sat down to read.

Chapter 4 was just...mind blowing in the best of ways. Who knew water could quite possibly have that kind of power? Maddox and company set out to prove Benveniste wrong, and apparently, they did. But could Benveniste be right? There is a whole science dedicated to homeopathy! Is it possible that water has that kind of memory? I'm thinking of the all the possibilities it could create (both good and, unfortunately, bad) and it's astounding. I'm also thinking how this relates to the telepathy discussed in the first chapter. It may be obvious, but could this mean that, since we as humans are mainly made up of water, the water in our bodies could store information in their "memory" and just maybe send messages to others? All I have to say is: cool.

Near the end of chapter, Benveniste discovers a woman who is a "frequency scrambler" and cannot get the same results as the other scientists in her experiments. It seems to me that is it true that we are caple of emitting waves. Can we use these waves...this force, to communicate? Is it true that we are all connected? That our body, our being, does not stop where we think it does?

Chapter 5 was a little harder to grasp. The only thing I had a real concrete hold was that Lashley was trying to figure out where memory is stored in the brain. After all his experiments (and awful treatments of those poor rats), I began to wonder if our memory is something that cannot be located in the brain because it is so abstract. Or is it even located in the brain? Can our memory be located in every cell of our body? Is that why the rats remembered no matter how much of their brain was burned (cringe :/) away? Just a thought...

I had difficulty with Chapter 6 also. Does this mean it is possible to will events to happen? And McTaggart also mentioned this "will" may be only present in the Zero Point Field or only subconcsiously. Is there even a difference between concsioness and subconcsiousness anymore? Chapter 6, more than anything, only raised question after question for me; whether I simply trying to grasp what was being said or analyzing and thinking about the material.
