Dr. Hein takes the reader on a thought-expanding tour . . . The empowering information in this book could change lives.


Colin Andrews, world's leading crop circle researcher
This is one of the most fascinating books on the Crop Circle Phenomenon . . . Truly a superb piece of work.


David Kingston, Crop Circle Investigator since 1976
If you have the key, you have the ability to understand: Simeon Hein’s book is that key.


Judith Moore, author of Crop Circles Revealed
Opening Minds is the Betty Crocker of crop circle books.


NAPRA Review, Nov/Dec 2002
A profound synthesis . . . Hein's discussion of physics, quantum consciousness research, remote viewing, chaos theory, extraterrestrials, and crop circles is fascinating.


Fate Magazine, April 2004
A completely fresh approach to two unusual mysteries . . . Opening Minds is highly effective and highly recommended.


Book Description
Opening Minds is about a social scientist's voyage into the world of non-ordinary, multidimensional energy phenomena. The book is both an examination of the limited belief systems intrinsic to existing mechanistic worldviews and an exploration of emerging new paradigms based on subtle-energy sciences. New discoveries in physics, combined with a greater awareness of extraordinary phenomena that surround us, challenge our traditional beliefs in the mechanistic universe of Sir Isaac Newton. Research into remote viewing, crop circles, and extraterrestrials shows our world to be vibrant, multidimensional, and mysterious. The author shows us how we can connect with this infinite universe. Read how many crop circles are made from first-hand accounts!


About the Author
Dr. Simeon Hein has a PhD in sociology. His dissertation focussed on fractals and the role of technology in limiting people's ability to perceive information. He has been studying remote viewing and crop circles since 1996. His current research is about natural technologies and how humans can access them. Dr. Hein is a member of the International Society for the Study of Subtle Energy Medicine and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He also writes and records guitar music.

SYNOPSIS

A discussion of the science behind the phenomena of crop circles, remote viewing, and human contact with extraterrestrials.

FROM THE CRITICS

Napra Review

Simeon Hein's Opening Minds offers a profound synthesis of many disciplines seeking to understand the not yet explainable. Hein's discussion of physics, quantum consciousness research, remote viewing, chaos theory, extraterrestrials, and crop circles is fascinating and provides a steady foundation for his postulation that "we do not need to analytically understand [crop circles] for their magic to enter our lives".

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Kingston

Was there really a need for another book on the subject of Crop Circles I hear you saying? Simeon Hein looks deeper and beyond the beautiful shapes that have appeared in the fields worldwide. His book contains aspects, which other authors have never really explored before, the latest scientific studies and literature, physics and areas which previous writers on the subject have not considered in the extraordinary phenomena of the crop circles.

As a bonus the book contains beautiful colour plates of the formations, "balls of light" and UFOs near the crop circles.

His title Opening Minds should have that very effect on any readers of his book. The topics covered in Simeon's book are most likely what other authors of Crop Circle books have felt but never covered in their books. They are all part of the mysteries of life. If you have the key you have the ability to understand and Simeon Hein's book is that key.  — Crop Circle Investigator

Judith Moore

Opening Minds is the 'Betty Crocker' of crop circle books.  — author of Crop Circles Revealed

Colin Andrews

A superb book from a man who is in sync with the next generation of understanding natural sciences. This is one of the most fascinating books on the Crop Circle Phenomenon I have read. One of those you need to be comfortable before you open the pages. I could not put it down and felt totally refreshed when I had read it. You 'know' before you have read but two chapters that Dr. Simeon Hein is on a path which makes sense. Full of thought-provoking ideas and concepts from start to finish. Truly a superb piece of work.  — Crop Circle Researcher and Author

I have been researching the crop circles in England for a decade . . . My own findings, that the crop circles are made by spiritually inspired humans, coincide strongly with Dr. Hein's -- and indeed that his ideas have greatly extended my own thinking.
