 New frontiers February 27, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
It's my belief that The Orb Project, for what ever it may first appear to the skeptical scientific mind, is actually part of the early, entirely scientific, penetration of a frontier on a par with that of Magellan witnessing for the first time (in European history) the vast reaches of the central Pacific. In fact, the implications of this research stretch beyond the horizon of mere global exploration, (obviously no small claim on my part) because, what the book opens, and invites more of, is the systematic investigation of the possibility/proof of coexistent dimensions in interaction with our own, by witnessing the astounding, yet completely simple physical evidence, we ourselves confirm our own existence with constantly, photographs.
Clearly, the authors bring their own leanings and beliefs to the study; point in case, being Heinemann's insistence on the term "Spirit emanations". Apparently however, that did not dilute the rigorous scientific slice and dice they've spent collective decades scrutinizing their own and others' data with. So, although their "spirituality" fuels their investigation, as it may your own, it also provides a universe of speculation in that most scientific of probing questions - hypotheses. To quote Ledwith, however out of context "... it simply means that our understanding of "spiritual" would stand in sore need of redefinition.
And that's exactly what these two, I must say, brave man, are contributing to, by making it very clear what the difference is between a photograph of water droplets, dust, reflections, camera malfunctions, or what have you, and - an Orb. I guarantee that no matter how you respond to the information in this book, you'll never look at your digital photos the same way again. I highly recommend it.

Spirituality blends with science in a survey recommended for any new age collection. February 4, 2008
Spherical objects sometimes appear in photos and are akin to the crop circles observed in nature: new breakthroughs in science offer new ideas on orbs, and THE ORB PROJECT comes from two leading experts in the field of orb observation who provide photos of different types of orbs, the latest analysis and ideas on their science and meaning, and more. Spirituality blends with science in a survey recommended for any new age collection.

It is simply astounding what variations of imagination find their ways into books and DVDs these days, projecting "spirit" into flash photography dust reflections. Meaning or nonsense - we create what we want to believe. Orbs exist if we make it so... BTW, fireflys are really orbs with little flashlights, so "spirit photographers" can find them in the dark. Snowflakes are really orbs in a winter suit. And Emoto's water crystals are orbs learning to dive... Humor aside, interestingly, orbs show up in the millions in flash photos at Burning Man - coincidentally, there is also a lot of dust there - hmmm. I do recommend to have a look at Carl Sagan's "The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark". The "Orb Project" may be well intended - no doubt about spiritual forces and the Oneness of Life. Yet, attributing "consciousness" into dust reflections in images is simply nonsense. A classic example how authors in the process of their own spiritual coming-of-age use their credentials to sway gullible minds into hideous pseudo-scientific projections to make a buck.
 Interesting but dry January 2, 2008

Overly technical approach to summarizing the Orb phenomena, this book is on the very dry side of inspirational.
Beautiful completion on Orb information!! December 28, 2007

This book is not just about Orbs! It's good material to realy go to the depth of 'we all are one' or 'we are all one'. And please expand your concept of WE :)) By reading the book it even became clear what WE are. And even that may be just a part of what we are.
I do think our dimension (or we are) is shifting towards a new dimension (or maybe even beyond what I/we can imagine). A world filled with love and peace is possible!
It was a gift to read this book. And if you're not aware.... there is a dvd too!!
