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.
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."
J.B. Priestley is considered by many to be an old-fashioned
playwright whose work is locked in a pre-war world of provincialism
and whose ideas are way past their sell-by date. In Time and the
Rose Garden, internationally recognised author Anthony Peake
re-assesses the plays and novels of this fascinating writer. In
doing so, Peake argues that Priestley should be recognised as one
of the most prescient of all middle century playwrights and that
his ideas on time, consciousness and mortality can be found in
hugely popular blockbusters such as The Matrix, Vanilla Sky, Deja
Vu, Sliding Doors, Butterfly Effect and many others.
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.
Scientific evidence for the continual presence of consciousness
with or without connection to a living organism
- Examines findings on the survival of consciousness beyond life,
including near-death experiences, after-death communication, and
reincarnation
- Explains how this correlates precisely with cutting-edge physics
theories on superstrings, information fields, and energy matrices
- Reveals how consciousness manifests in living beings to continue
its evolution
Evidence now points to consciousness existing beyond the brain,
such as when the brain is temporarily incapacitated, as well as to
the survival of consciousness after death. Conventional science
prefers to dismiss these findings because they cannot be
accommodated by a materialist view of reality. Spirituality and
religion embrace the continuity of consciousness and ascribe it to
a nonmaterial spirit or soul that is immortal. As such,
spirituality/religion and science continually find conflict in
their views. But what if there truly is no conflict?
Based on a new scientific paradigm in sync with experience-based
spirituality, Ervin Laszlo and Anthony Peake explore how
consciousness is continually present in the cosmos and can exist
without connection to a living organism. They examine the rapidly
growing body of scientific evidence supporting the continuity of
consciousness, including near-death experiences, after-death
communication, reincarnation, and neurosensory information received
in altered states. They explain how the persistence of
consciousness beyond the demise of the body means that, in essence,
we are not mortal--we continue to exist even when our physical
existence has come to an end. This correlates precisely with
cutting-edge physics, which posits that things in our plane of time
and space are not intrinsically real but are manifestations of a
hidden dimension where they exist in the form of superstrings,
information fields, and energy matrices.
With proof that consciousness is basic to the cosmos and immortal
in its deeper, nonmanifest realm, Laszlo and Peake reveal the
purpose of consciousness is to manifest in living beings in order
to continuously evolve.
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.
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.'
*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.
