After three near-death experiences, Atwater began to "remember" future events on a regular basis. She studied thousands of near-death experiencers and found that many others shared this extraordinary ability. Some achieved it as a result of near-death experiences, some through spiritual breakthroughs, and some through shamanic vision quests. All experienced future memory. Atwater argues that this new ability not only can be learned, but may be the brain's way of expanding to encompass higher states of consciousness. If so, Atwater sees the future memory phenomenon as a key step in the evolution of the human mind.
Presenting a challenging and dazzling synthesis of spiritual insight, personal experience, physics, metaphysics, history, and philosophy, Future Memory is unlike any other book you will ever read. Drawing on the writings of poets, prophets, and scientists as diverse as Gary Snyder, Stephen Hawking, Edgar Cayce, and Wolfgang Pauli, Atwater has written with an unflinching quest to understand the very nature of time, memory, and the ineffable questions of human consciousness. And she presents this heady brew with charming personal enthusiasm that has earned her the respect and affection of some of the leading lights in spiritual writing and research.
