Part 1: Matter.
Matter explores the big bang theory of the origin of the
universe and reveals its numerous flaws; a terminal one
being its reliance on logic, which is unequipped to deal
with concepts such as infinity and eternity. Various
cosmological anomalies are explored and an alternative
explanation for red-shifted light is proposed that
undermines the notion that the universe is expanding.
Time is then exposed as an illusion and the existence
of other continuums discussed.
Part 2: Life.
Life examines the theory of evolution; a doctrine that
more than any other brings into disrepute the idea that
there is a spiritual side to nature. Arguments are
presented that suggest life could not have evolved by
chance, while various terrestrial calamities are dealt
with that destroyed most of life on earth and left
insufficient time between them for life to have
gradually evolved into new species.
The view that life, from the simplest micro-organisms to
humankind itself, was sequentially introduced here by
an alien race is explored; a theory that solves the
problem of missing links, the rapid appearance of new
species and the fact that human-like remains and
artefacts are found in strata hundreds of millions of
years old.
Part 3: Spirit.
Spirit deals with the immaterial side of existence, based
on the author’s out of body experiences that lead him to
challenge the view that existence is entirely materialistic.
He explains that physical reality is merely an
insubstantial holograph and that we are really denizens
of another, inner, dimension.
The real meaning of sleep and dreams is explained and
examples of glimpses into the future that subsequently
happened are quoted. The author cites his memories of
a place before birth - the ‘beforenow’ - and of being born
as evidence of reincarnation. He also quotes examples
of his interactions with inhabitants of the inner
dimension that he calls the ‘living dead.’ Amazing out of
body abilities are described, including flying, passing
through solids and teleportation.
A broader scientific investigation into the out of body
phenomenon is called for, rather than focusing on near
death experiences, and eleven different circumstances
in which an exteriorisation occurs are quoted, all of
which disprove that claim that an NDE is the result of
oxygen deprivation or trauma.
Part 4: Being.
Being delves into the nature of man and reveals the ego
to be a relative-based phenomenon only. Being or
consciousness is shown to be the reality underpinning
both the microcosm and macrocosm, and our
relationship to a greater-self is explained.
Part 5: Philosophy.
Philosophy explores the reasons why we are here and
concludes our current personalities are temporary acts
performed for the benefit of a greater-self. The
ramifications of discovering that we are not entirely
material are discussed and established religion
submitted to a justified attack. The characteristics of the
creative power underpinning existence are also
investigated.
Part 6: Immortaility.
Immortality illustrates man’s failed attempts over the
ages to achieve eternal, physical life, while ignoring the
fact that we already possess an immortal side to our
nature.
William Wordsworth’s famous ode, Intimations of
Immortality, is examined and its spiritual essence, which
hints at the immortal nature within us all, extracted.
Conclusion:
Reality is shown to lack both an ultimate origin and
destiny. Rather, it is an infinitely relative state in every
way imaginable that responds to the wishes of each
individual. In other words, reality can be whatever one
wants it to be.
Appendix 1:
Two simple methods are presented whereby anyone can
prove to themselves the existence of an inner body,
together with the symptoms associated with an out of
body experience.
Appendix 2:
Reveals many of the ridiculous practices and
practitioners of the New Age scene and the reader is
advised to be sceptical when encountering them.
Readership Appeal.
Anyone who likes to entertain explanations for the
mystery of existence that go beyond the purely
mundane as offered by Professor Stephen Hawking and
who enjoys the works of Deepak Chopra, Dr. Raymond
Moody and Robert Monroe, should find this book
informative. It goes further and is more scientific than
the usual literature of the genre, providing stimulating
and innovative answers based on the author’s first-
hand experience and study of the paranormal
spanning more than fifty years.
