Transcending Our Brain Created Reality: A New Call to Lift Nature’s Veil

September 22, 2012 By davidjones

By BERNARDO KASTRUP, Ph.D. The study of non-ordinary states of consciousness is quickly becoming an established area of scientific and philosophical inquiry. Yet, all the enthusiasm about finding out what these non-ordinary states are somehow obfuscates much bigger, important, and urgent questions: What as-of-yet unknown aspects of reality do they give us access to? And what significance do those hold for the human adventure in space-time? In this article, I’d like to make a call-to-arms … [Read more...]

May 11, 2012 By davidjones

By IAN LAWTON— Modern studies repeatedly suggest that a significant proportion of people in the Western world now believe in reincarnation. Although this phenomenon can be traced back to various esoteric movements that flourished from the second half of the 19th century, it gained significant ground with the explosion of popular interest in Eastern spiritual approaches in the 60s.

The Out-of-Body Experience As Dimensional Translocation

September 21, 2002 By davidjones

BY JIM DEKORNE — Pause for a moment and try to imagine four-dimensional space. It is right next to you, but in a direction you can’t point to. No matter how well hidden you may be, a four-dimensional creature can see you perfectly well, inside and outside. – Rudy Rucker, The Fourth Dimension How might these beings be even dimly aware of our presence, if we normally don’t have an inkling of theirs?
