ABC Talks To: Author Lynne McTaggart

“Newton is only one chapter in the textbook of Science” : An interview with Lynne McTaggart

by Femke Wijdekop

Lynne McTaggart is the best-selling author of The Field and The Intention Experiment. Many know her from her appearance in the DVD What the Bleep Do We Know!?. She recently even made her entry into the world of fiction: Katherine Solomon, one of the characters of Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol, is fascinated by Lynne McTaggart’s work on the Zero Point Field and the power of intention.

Lynne was in Amsterdam to speak at the European Mastery Conference Healing, and found some time to talk with the ABC!

lynnemctaggartDid you expect The Field – an ABC Evergreen – to become the publishing success it turned out to be when you released it back in 2001?

No, I didn’t have any expectation of the kind. But my publisher did. He predicted it would be a big success. I was more absorbed with the efforts it took me to write this book. When I am writing a book, all I do is try to write the best book possible and communicate the best way I can. The Field was the most difficult book I had ever written, because I had to find a way to make all this cutting edge-science accessible to the reader, without compromising the contents. The different scientists I had interviewed had shared their highly specialized knowledge with me, and it was my job to put together all the pieces of the puzzle and to translate the scientists’ knowledge into a language the public could understand.

I didn’t expect I would find a unified field when I set off to do research for The Field, but somewhere along the way I realised I was at the brink of a new science.

In your books you cover many sciences – medical sciences, quantum physics, biology, psychology. Does this require you to be an expert in every field you cover?

No, fortunately it doesn’t! I’m not a scientist, but I am used to reading scientific and medical papers.

If I don’t understand something, I call an expert and ask him or her, or I interview someone.

It’s very handy to have a journalistic background. (more…)
