Review
Better than any book I've come across, Bernardo Kastrup's collection of essays confronts two mysteries that must be urgently solved. The first is the mystery of reality. The second is the mystery of knowledge. To confront both mysteries at once requires courage, tenacity, a willingness to swim upstream, and thick skin. But if you have a persistent, acute mind like Bernardo's, an exciting journey opens up.-- Deepak Chopra, M.D., pioneer in the field of mind-body medicine.Some words, such as the collection of essays in Brief Peeks Beyond, have the power to evoke in the reader not just the concept of infinite Consciousness but the experience of it, a taste of its own essential reality. I have been touched by the profundity of these essays and know that they will imprint their healing intelligence in the broader medium of mind, from which humanity draws its knowledge and experience, for many years to come.-- Rupert Spira, non-duality teacher and author.Pioneering, original and brilliantly written. This important book is an excellent contribution to the growing awareness that the domination of materialism in science is irrefutably coming to an end, perhaps even in the next decade. Highly recommended.-- Pim van Lommel, cardiologist, author of Consciousness Beyond Life.Occam's Razor never cut so deep as in this penetrating critique of science, philosophy and the cultural cocoon we've constructed. Kastrup has followed up on his previous assault on dopey scientific materialism with a knockout punch.-- Alex Tsakiris, author of Why Science is Wrong... About Almost Everything and host of the Skeptiko podcast.

Scrambling onto the shoulders of a giant
By Paul Chefurka
It's far too soon for me to be writing this. I have no idea how this singular little book is going to alter the course of my life. I only know that it will. Some things you simply know - without analysis, without synthesis, with hardly any reflection. I feel like an explorer who has just stepped onto a new continent - my eyes can barely discern the outlines of mountains in the distant mist, yet I can already taste infinite promise in the wind.
I have never held a book like this: one that addresses all the big questions that have riveted my attention since perhaps the age of ten, and speaks to them in my own language. A book written by a man who has so obviously found the doors of perception for himself, and is able to give directions to them in words that other travelers can understand. When my wise partner reminds me that I should always leave space in my life for miracles, this book is the kind of thing she is talking about.
Part of the reason for my reaction is summed up by this paragraph from the book's introduction:
"Overall, this work is characterized by a new readiness on my part to go all out with my points of view. In my previous works, I’ve held myself back in the interest of striking a more moderate note with broader appeal. It is, however, unclear whether that was effective. What is sure is that it pruned the full expression of my views. Now, having turned 40 and witnessed my life take turns I’d never expected, I feel less motivated to compromise on my discourse. Life is just too short for that. Therefore, this book tackles, head-on, subjects I have hitherto kept out of bounds: God, ‘conspiracies,’ the obvious flaws of science as practiced today, the often insidious role of the media and a number of other polemical topics. You be the judge of whether my uncensored views still hold up to reason and the available evidence."
I'm not going to discuss specifics - as I said, it's far too early. But anyone who has followed the twists and turns of my peripatetic mind - from technology to ecology; from Peak Oil and climate change to non-equilibrium thermodynamics and evolutionary psychology; from Dawkinsian scientism to Buddhism, Taoism and Advaita; from materialism to idealism; from anger and outrage to radical acceptance and surrender - and wondered what shore I might wash up on next ... well, this appears to be it.
An explorer of life can feel no greater thrill than the discovery of new territory. Like the countless other giants along the way who have offered their shoulders as vantage points, Bernardo Kastrup gives us a perch from which we may see the lay of the land for ourselves. I can imagine no higher compliment.

His theories provide elegant answers to some of the world's greatest mysteries. As a former staunch materialist
By Joshua Kriegel
Bernardo writes lucidly in a rational, level-headed manner that eludes so many philosophers and scientists. His theories provide elegant answers to some of the world's greatest mysteries. As a former staunch materialist, Why Materialism is Baloney helped me see through the facade and true lunacy of this untenable theory. In Brief Peeks Beyond, he elaborates on his version of idealism and adds his commentary on the state of our society and culture. I particularly love the format of this work because it lets me show essays to family and friends without having to convince them to read an entire book. My only criticism is that Bernardo seems a bit complacent -- not in the sense of what he talks about in section 8.5 regarding what we can do individually (I actually agree with him on this point that real change must start within) -- but I get the sense that he views this book as his magnum opus of sorts (I could be wrong, I don't know him personally). But why stop here? He has only touched briefly on questions about physics and the nature of time -- there are books' worth of material here relating your theories to the natural sciences. I want to see him get into the nitty gritty. Elaborate more on healthcare applications, show me even more scientific studies that support an idealist rather than a materialist interpretation. Make hypotheses and test them in collaboration with other like-minded scientists! There are countless more questions to address and it would be a true shame if Bernardo's contributions, incredible as they are, stopped here.

standing up for truth at last!
By moises pittounikos
I'm very impressed by the intelligence of Bernardo Kastrup. He's like a man who sees through the Matrix and exposes the giant with clay feet because he knows. Sometimes we don't notice what's in front of our nose. Kastrup helps us to focus.
Much of this mans genius is found scattered here and there, in thick books or forgotten minds. But Kastrup writes so eloquently and with the confidence of one who knows that, the ghost of Kant, or some other German, must be whispering in Berbardo's ear!
Bernardo says it so succinctly and he easily criticises this crazy materialism, especially the 'neuromania' we see all around and he explains idealism so precisely, that you know that materialism is wrong. You just needed a helping hand to point you this way.
As an aside, professor Raymond Tallis coined the terms 'Neuromania' and 'Darwinitus' in Aping Mankind. But Tallis could never crack it because he is hesitant to take the position of idealism. So Raymond Tallis writes 400 page books, excruciatingly long winded books, tiptoeing around the truth like most philosophers do. All the best are today hesitant, probably for fear of ridicule, or, even worse, they don't know what they are talking about.
Arthur Schopenhauer wrote an essay arguing that, well, most people who get a degree in, say, philosophy, are not philosophers. They are like bureaucrats who get a little office room, as a temp worker, and work their way up the ladder of bureaucracy. Now imagine if the common man or woman started worshipping the bureaucrats because they knew no better? The higher up the rung the bureaucrat is, the more heaps of praise and glory is given to this bureaucrat and the bureaucrat becomes the only authority and the common men and women, who know no better, because they are fed documentaries and books, listen to the opinions of the bureaucracy, and so a momentum builds up. Schopenhauer argued that because a bureaucrat has a Phd in philosophy, the bureaucrat concludes that Plato was a philosopher, and, therefore, the bureaucrat is now Plato!!! We see this sort of thing all of the time. Schopenhauer wrote this in the 19th Century. It is much worse today.
Well this is the modern academy and, hence, the modern world and this is why Bernardo Kastrup sounds like a genius when, in reality, he is merely exposing the clothes of the bureaucrat.
Bernardo Kastrup is very different from the academic rung. He knows what he is talking about, he goes out and says it as it is. No bureaucrat balloney, just the truth at last.
Well done Bernardo!
