The Science of Out-of-Body experiences

[MDM]

Anthony Peake is a science writer and friend of mine, with whom I swapped books and discussed Out-of-Body experiences. He is not an "experiencer" as such, but somebody with the right mindset bringing a massive amount of available data together, analyzing and compiling them into a sound system that makes scientific sense. Although I don't necessarily share all his conclusions, I find his attitude and approach to the subject simply inspirational. This video was taken at the launch of his new book: "The Out of Body Experience: The History and Science of Astral Travel".

Anybody who is interested in the phenomena of consciousness and Out-of-Body-Experience should watch Anthony's presentation and check out his book. Anthony endeavors to provide a sound scientific bases in order to explain the phenomena widely reported on this forum. He is always interested in acquiring new data and makes himself readily accessible like few other people I know: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rVJJrz_f1U&feature=player_embedded

Cool. Thanks for the link

this sort of thing really interests me. The progression from spirituality to science, from myth to fact. For hundreds and hundreds of years, the Earth was flat. It was the center of the universe for even longer. And one day, perhaps very soon, this spiritual notion of a higher, layered existance will be science. Solid fact. Kids will learn about it in high school the way we learn about our heliocentric universe today. This is a wonderful tme to be alive . <3

all rambling aside, thanks for the link. very cool.

Intriguing video with some interesting theories. 

This dude needs to talk with Bashar.

Tony is not always recognized for his brave attempts to find a rational more scientific explanation for the phenomena we experience and is often rather harshly criticized, especially by some old school scientists. I think this is rather unfair. Although I don't agree with everything he says, I see him more like a visionary who has the guts to draw new connections and lay out a broad plan. I am sure eventually these new territories will gradually be underpinned with solid science. Yes, its feasible "consciousness" will become a subject to be studied in future curriculums at schools. I hope so.
