This is a book about Out-Of-Body Experiences, or OBEs. The book describes what causes them to occur and how they can be induced. OBEs are events in which we travel to the future. It is there where OBEs occur. We are able to experience OBEs when we turn off our sensors (eyes, ears, skin, nose, taste buds). When we are able to do this, our bodies "let go" of us and we find ourselves in the future. Our sensors contain us in the three-dimensional present, or space. When we are in the present we can experience time as it flows through us but we cannot move through time like we can move through space. In order to move through time, we must shut off our sensors. Doing so frees us from the confines of space and we find ourselves in imaginary time, or the future.
To experience an OBE, we have to find a way to turn off our sensors. The author does this by imagining going down a funnel until he reaches and bursts through its closed end. At that point, his sensors have "let go" of him. He essentially "tunnels out" of his sensors. Since we think of our sensors as our bodies, you can say that a person can have an OBE when he or she tunnels out of their body to the future. When we are able to turn off our sensors for an extended period of time, we move to the future where we can create "inside event" brainwaves, or OBEs.
We not only create OBEs in the future, we experience them there as well. Our sensors remain inactive during the entire OBE. An OBE ends when one or more of our sensors "turns on" by receiving external sensor-driven stimuli (e.g. - hearing a loud noise somewhere nearby) and we are called back to the present. OBEs are called "inside events" because they don't require outside stimuli from our sensors. We have to turn off our sensors to
begin an OBE and one or more of our sensors turning back on can
end an OBE, but there are no sensors involved
while we are having an OBE.
This book is also about "outside events". Outside events allow us to create the future. Outside events are not OBEs. We begin an outside event the same way we begin an inside event OBE: by shutting off our sensors. But then we move to the future and "deposit" brainwaves for a future event we want to create or participate in on what I call the "time escalator". We deposit the brainwaves of the event we want to experience on the time escalator by visualizing or imagining the event while we are in the future. Time only moves in one direction: from the future to the present. After we deposit the desired event brainwaves on the time escalator, they "trickle down" to the present where our sensors pick them up as they "roll off" the time escalator and we experience the event.
All participants in a specific future event are able to deposit their brainwaves on the time escalator by visualizing their desired outcomes for the event. The brainwaves of the various participants who have deposited brainwaves describing their desired outcomes for the event then combine either destructively (cancel each other out) or constructively (reinforce each other). The event that finally trickles off the time escalator into the present will represent the combination of all the participants' brainwaves. Unlike inside events, outside events involve our sensors which are needed to perceive the events which come to us when they arrive in the present from the future on the time escalator.
This book involves some mathematics. The math is not hard and ranges from Arithmetic to High School Algebra I with some basic Trigonometry thrown in. All of the mathematics is explained from the ground up: readers who have not used their math skills for some time should have no trouble understanding the material. That being said, the chapters of the book have been arranged so that the mathematical material can be skipped without loss of the underlying concepts.
