Inventing Reality
Inventing Reality
Towards a Magical Technology
About the Book
Inventing Reality is a brief extended-essay that opens the reader up to a new way of thinking, one that invites you to be original and creative.
Through practical exercises using our everyday experiences, and through fields as diverse as computer programming and water-divining, Tom Graves presents a framework in which synchronicities become a meaningful part of the reader's creative life.
This book was ahead of its time when it was first published in 1986. It is still leading the field.
