Synopsis

A lighthearted yet profound guide to the realms of higher consciousness and the ultimate nature of reality.

• Explains some of the most difficult concepts of physics and heightened consciousness in ways that are easily understood.

• Presents a model for the interaction of the universe and human thought that has profound implications for our future.

All aboard for the excursion of a lifetime as Itzhak Bentov, the celebrated engineer, inventor, and mystic, takes you on a tour of the universe, pure consciousness, and all that lies beyond. Using comical sketches, simple metaphors, and his famous wit and humor, Bentov explains the nature of reality, points out the sights in Nirvana and the Void, and eventually takes you to a meeting with your higher self. Along the way, Bentov illuminates the Kabbalistic principles of number and sound, the meaning of cosmic shapes and symbols, the consciousness of devas, and the nature of the absolute. Ultimately, he shows that the universe and thought are inseparable, and that the thoughts of all human beings affect each other and in turn the whole universe--an idea with obvious and far-reaching implications. Anyone interested in the inner reaches of the mind, the greater structure of the cosmos, and the spiritual evolution of humanity will find A Brief Tour of Higher Consciousness an informed and delightful traveling companion.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Heidi on April 28, 2016

My research into consciousness exploration continues with A Brief Tour of Higher Consciousness by Itzhak Bentov. Having predominantly read books like this by artists (Jurgen Ziewe and Kurt Leland come to mind), it was refreshing to have a first person narrative by an engineer. Itzhak's lens of perce......more

Goodreads review by Will on April 25, 2011

This book was quite enlightening. Basically, according to Itzhak Bentov, Creation is a big hologram. You are the Supreme God of this system (meaning, your particular version of reality that you live and create within). Also, Love is the cosmic law and the whole system is designed so that the more a......more

Goodreads review by Karl on October 20, 2013

I must say from the beginning that this is another one of those instances where I thoroughly enjoyed an earlier book written by an author and then was underwhelmed with a subsequent book. The first book written by I. Bentov, “Stalking the Wild Pendulum” was entertaining, informative and written in su......more

Goodreads review by Beatričė on August 16, 2020

A light read about systems that are hard to describe. For those interested in spirituality, cosmos, and the meaning of it all, this book is a must-read. Surely, not everyone will enjoy the subjective explanation of higher consciousness - there is close to none science to back Bentov's statements (al......more

Goodreads review by Ran on February 15, 2025

Another great read by Itzhak although I think it is not complete since he died on a plane crash and his collections were only put together afterwards by his family. It is essential to read “Stalking the Wild Pendulum” before reading this book or you will be very confused. This book gives a bigger me......more

Quotes

"A delightfully ingenious cosmic comedy on the nature and structure of ultimates. Here are travelers tales such as you rarely find; metaphysical jaunts from one end of the universe to the other."

"A Brief Tour of Higher Consciousness is a user-friendly, comical approach to what can be impenetrable subject matter. Bentov keeps in touch with his audience by providing it with images and physical analogies. For those who crave a more objective view of the same philosophy, Bentov's work is complemented by a selection of essays by other authors dealing with same subject matter in a more traditionally scientific manner. Though not as easy to read as Bentov's humorous writing, it is refreshing to see something annotated and sustantiated. It reminds us that the insights gained from Bentov's intuition have their roots in fields ranging from Eastern philosophy to modern physics.

A Brief Tour of Higher Consciousness is a light but satisfying foray into the cosmos. It will please both the layperson and the educated physicist, and will make anyone chuckle."

"He is another author who has successfully shown the parallels between science and spirituality. I most recommend his works, especially A Brief Tour of Higher Consciousness for it will inspire you in most unimaginable ways."

"This is a book to puzzle you, delight you, and give you some 'Ahs' in your search to meet yourself and the nature of reality!"
