I rarely read books twice, because there are so many good ones out there. On this occasion I made an exception to the rule, because it is so thought provoking and so well put together.
Peake has this brilliant knack of collating information from all over the place and putting it into a coherent system of thought that leaves people intrigued and asking for more.
I have long been fascinated by sports people, artist, musicians and even scientists like Einstein and wondering how they do what they do.
This book gives us the answer; The Daemon your higher self steps in and takes over. When a top tennis professional returns a serve at 120 mph he has no time to think about it, he just does it. However, the implications are that subconsciously he knows where the ball is going to land before the server even hits it. Of course this raises interesting questions regarding free will and I am in the camp that says we don't have any. Einstein was asked how do you do what you do, and he replied, he was a conduit for something bigger than himself which worked through him.
And when you ask top sports people, How did you do that, the truth is they don't know. They only know they did it and they know that when they did it there was no conscious thought. Thinking interrupts the doing, and I got plenty out of this book, and I have felt privileged enough to since befriend Tony and discuss his ideas with him and hopefully give him some pointers regarding future research and books.
