Are you out of your body? At least part of you may be, if consciousness can extend beyond the brain in your skull. In "Science and Spirit," authors Charles F. Emmons and Penelope Emmons explore some intriguing questions: What evidence is there for consciousness apart from the body, and what evidence is there for survival of consciousness after bodily death?

Through ethnographic interviews with scientists, observations at conferences, and visits to research institutes, they investigate the existence and meaning of ESP, out-of-body experiences, near-death experiences, reincarnation, spirit mediumship, lucid dreaming, and ghost experiences. In this study, they share a variety of scientific frames for looking at these questions and happenings, and they disclose their own paranormal experiences.

"Science and Spirit" uses a unique blend of strong academic and scientific theory and methodology and applies it to the examination of paranormal topics.

In Manogue's latest book, Bed, Bosh, and Beyond, he takes us a step further in the process of how we live our lives. Here, we confront the ultimate challenge - death - and we are introduced to Rob, a man who has lived life on his own terms, died, and is brought through a life review whereby he sees segments of his life interspersed with commentary from his afterlife guide played by none other than his hero, George Carlin. Through reflection and insight into behavioral patterns and attitudes expressed throughout his life, Rob comes to a full awareness of the unity of all life regardless of its multiplicity in expression. As readers, we are given an opportunity to reflect upon our own lives and how our attitudes shape us and confine us. Bed, Bosh, and Beyond is in actuality a primer for living...and as we share in his story, we can reshape our own.

We are immortal beings. We never stop living. When we are awake, we live the physical life we came to Earth to experience. When we are sleeping, the body rests and we, as Spirit, rise up and go on to live, for a little while, the Spiritual life, which is our true life. Our earthly existence is composed of two modes of living. When we are awake, functioning in the physical body, we obey the physical laws of gravity. We are not able to move around as freely as we would like. The weight of our physical body and the slow vibrations of the material world restrict our movements and impair our latent spiritual capabilities. When we sleep we free ourselves from the ties that bind us to the physical body and to physical reality. Gravity loses its grip and we take flight, and for a while we regain our natural freedom. We take a break from physical life and return to the nonphysical or Spiritual realms for a few hours. Our nightly dreams are signs of the continuity of our life and our immortality. Even if our body is knocked out cold in bed, we are alive and quite busy. We, as Spirit, are independent of our physical body. Awake, we use the body to function in physical reality, which requires a coarser instrument to interact with other physical things. As Spirit, we are free. One day, sooner for some and later for others, the physical body will die and we will be free much longer than just a few hours every night. We will continue living; we will continue being our own selves, our own individuality albeit as Spirit, in a subtler nonphysical reality, which is nothing more than a finer dimension within our own physical world. Out-of-body experiences (OBEs) are glimpses of our future nonphysical life. As we sleep and dream every night we are preparing ourselves for the ultimate OBE that will befall each one of us when our body dies. Learning to become aware when we are out of the body, which happens to all of us every night, will afford us greater control and enjoyment both in our nightly excursions as we sleep and after the final OBE when our earthly journey is over. Now let's see how we can do it.

"Where Did You Go? offers deep comfort to anyone who has lost a loved one and hopes to explore what frontier science is now demonstrating: while a heart may stop beating, consciousness never dies." -Lynne McTaggart, bestselling author of The Field From Christina Rasmussen, the much beloved and acclaimed author of Second Firsts, comes a groundbreaking exploration of the afterlife that combines spirituality with cutting edge science-and reveals we all have the power to connect with our loved ones on the other side. "Where did you go?" This was the first question Christina Rasmussen asked after the death of her husband. A young widow with two daughters, Rasmussen would go on to become an esteemed grief educator who helped countless others rebuild their lives after loss. Yet, even as she learned to thrive again, that first heartbreaking question persisted. Even as she and her clients forged new paths and discovered new joy, the same questions remained: Are we capable of connecting to those who have passed on? What really happens after we die? As a professional grounded in science, Christina was a skeptic who shied away from the conventional mystical, supernatural, and religious descriptions of the afterlife-so she turned to what seemed "provable" to unravel the mystery of life beyond life: physics. What she found was beyond anything she could have expected: not only is there life after death, but we all have the ability to connect with loved ones who have passed on. Sharing an inspiring message of hope, optimism, and love, Where Did You Go? is a transporting step-by-step guide to journeying to the other side, from one of our most trusted voices on life after loss. Bridging the gap between the metaphysical and the measurable, it will change the way we grieve, the way we live and how we define our potential-in this life and the hereafter.
