I read a really interesting book a few years ago that help to make sense of a lot of things. It is entitled Science and the Akashic Field by Ervin Laszlo. You can do a search and read about it at amazon. The book blew me away and I loaned it to a couple of friends and it blew them away also. What Laszlo calls the A-field is the zero point field, but it is not just an energy field but also an information field. Laszlo said in altered states of consciousness we can access this information but if we are not psychologically mature enough to deal with that broad band of information psychosis can result. It is just a really fascinating book if you get a chance to check it out.
