From Outer Space to Inner Space

An Apollo Astronaut's Journey Through the Material and Mystical Worlds

By: Dr. Edgar Mitchell, Dwight Williams - contributor, Avi Loeb - foreword

Narrated by: Charles Constant

In February 1971, as Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell hurtled Earthward through space, he was engulfed by a profound sense of universal connectedness. He intuitively sensed that his presence and that of the planet in the window were all part of a deliberate, universal process, and that the glittering cosmos itself was, in some way, conscious. The experience was so overwhelming, Mitchell knew his life would never be the same.

For the next thirty-five years, he embarked on another journey, an inward exploration of the ineffable mystery of human consciousness and being. Mitchell left NASA to form the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS). There he initiated research in areas of study previously neglected by mainstream science and constructed a theory that could explain not only the mysteries of consciousness, but also the psychic event—what spiritualists call a "miracle" and scientists dismiss altogether.

Mitchell also created a new dyadic model of reality, revealing a self-aware universe not predetermined by the laws of physics, preordained by deities, or infinitely malleable. While human actions are generally subject to the laws of physics, these laws are also influenced by the mind. This book traces two remarkable journeys—one through space and one through the mind.

Excellent

This is an amazing book. I plan to listen to the Audible again. Eager Mitchell's accounts, opinions and information are cherished.

Superb!

This is an excellent book! I have a broad range of interests and an open mind and I felt like I had known this man my whole life and that I was with kindred spirit digesting his words put to the pen. He had just the right level of materialistic and skeptical grounding while also having an openness to idealism and the fundamental nature of consciousness. This is the first author whose book has inspired a truly deeper understanding in me, of the nature of the significant number of mysterious phenomena engaging with and/or being experienced by our species. I highly recommend this book to all people who have come across it or this review.
