Anthony Peake explores the relationship between consciousness and reality and in the process puts forward a hypothesis that can explain many enigmatic phenomena, including deja vu, precognition, near-death experience and altered states."

The author's conclusions are ground-breaking - his ideas have been published in the respected Journal Of Near Death Studies.

In "The Daemon," Peake expands on the proposition that all consciously aware beings consist of not one but two separate consciousnesses--everyday consciousness and that of the Daemon, a higher being that seems to possess knowledge of future events. This book includes the stories of many famous artists, politicians, musicians, and scientists who have felt a force outside themselves including Winston Churchill, Byron, Goethe, Jean Cocteau, and many others.

For thousands of years voyagers of inner space - spiritual seekers, shamans and mystics - have returned from their inner travels reporting another level of reality that is more real than the one we inhabit in 'waking life'. Others have claimed that under the influence of mysterious substances, known as entheogens, the everyday human mind can be given glimpses of this multidimensional realm of existence that is usually hidden from us by our five basic senses. Using information from the leading edges of modern science, this book presents a startling new hypothesis that these 'inner worlds' are as real, or possibly even more real, than the 'reality' we experience in waking life. The Infinite Mindfield uses as its starting point the widespread historical belief that the pineal gland - the 'third eye' - is a profoundly important organ. It links this to the various myths, originating in ancient Sumer, that 'dragons' or 'serpents' have guided humanity and presents evidence that these beings are symbolic of DNA. It is now known that DNA gives off a form of light known as bioluminescence. This information-rich 'inner light' needs an organ of sight to process it - that organ is the pineal gland. It is through this small organ that we "perceive" the inner worlds of lucid dreaming, out-of-body experiences, hypnagogic imagery, near-death experiences, astral travel and the kundalini experience. The book ends with the mind-blowing proposition that all living beings are one unitary consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. This book is genuinely revolutionary and will cause both interest and controversy in equal measure. Its science is watertight as is its logic. Be ready to be stunned - you will never have read anything like this before.

Since our very beginnings, human beings from all civilisations across the globe have encountered the Others - intelligent, self-motivated beings that are clearly not human in their origins. This book offers the most comprehensive survey ever made of such otherworldly visitors, from gods, angels, demons and djinns to hobgoblins, poltergeists and ghosts to UFOs and aliens. In addition to fully detailing the history of these encounters, the book attempts a bold explanation (never before undertaken) of the true nature of these beings. The book will explore the increasingly frequent "entheogen" encounters facilitated by substances such as dimethyltryptamine, ayahuasca, 5-Meo-DMT and LSD, as well as the beings encountered by individuals suffering from Alzheimer's-related Charles Bonnet Syndrome, young children's non-corporeal companions, and the seemingly independent beings met during lucid dreaming and near-death and out-of-body experiences.This book continues Anthony Peake's work in developing a completely original model of reality based upon an amalgamation of ancient belief systems, subjective human experiences of the extraordinary, and the latest discoveries of neurology, neurochemistry, quantum mechanics and cosmology. This model proposes that consciousness, far from being simply an accident of evolution, is the actual root source of the material universe. It suggests that at its most basic level everything that is seemingly physical is rendered into existence by consciousness.

Here Anthony Peake suggests that Lucid Dreaming, Out-of-Body Experiences, Remote Viewing and Astral Travel are all elements of the same phenomenon, one that may give mankind an insight into a universe that is far more complex than we can ever have imagined. Peake reviews the history of this fascinating subject and then, using recent discoveries in neurology, consciousness studies and quantum physics, suggests a challenging new model of how our perception may interface with 'reality'. 'The Out-of-Body Experience is a hot topic ...Anthony Peake has extensively covered various fields of enquiry that may, at last, help us to understand this unusual phenomenon. It is the first book on the topic to cast its net around dreams, shamanism, Eastern thought and quantum physics, with OBEs as the central core. Those readers who know little about OBEs will find this a splendid introduction. Those who know a lot will know more after they finish this fascinating, and much needed, book.'

WHAT EXACTLY ARE HALLUCINATIONS? ARE THEY ACTUALLY DOORS TO ANOTHER REALITY? Anthony Peake thinks so. In this stunning new book Peake takes the work of Aldous Huxley and updates it using the latest information from such seemingly unrelated fields as quantum mechanics, neurochemistry and consciousness studies. This work follows on from Peake's groundbreaking books The Out-of-Body Experience and The Infinite Mindfield.

*Highly Commended in the Psychiatry category at the 2012 British Medical Association Book Awards* A near-death experience (NDE) is a phenomenon whereby powerful physical and emotional sensations and visions are experienced by someone who is either close to death or has been declared clinically dead. This is an accessible guide to the theory and evidence underlying the phenomenon of NDEs. With contributions from leading international experts in the field, it provides an overview of the research into NDEs, the nature of NDEs and how they have been experienced around the world, and the physiological, psychological and medical bases of the phenomenon. The book also discusses children's NDEs, NDEs from a religious perspective, the role of light in NDEs, the assessment and management of NDEs, and the future of research into the phenomenon. This essential handbook will provide all those who may encounter someone who has had an NDE with the knowledge and understanding they need, including nurses, doctors, palliative care workers, psychologists, psychiatrists and pastoral workers.
