Shining Light on Transcendence

<p>What is consciousness? How does it relate to the brain to the mind?  Does it even extend beyond them? And if so might those experiences — telepathy extrasensory perception near death experiences — be called ‘paranormal’ because we can’t explain them by any normal means?</p><p>Anything with a firm belief structure whether it is science or religious faith limits experimentation and a free spirit of enquiry.  I wanted to find a synthesis between these two fields of experience the measurable and the immeasurable.  And it seemed to me that the best – indeed the only way I could find out more was by finding people who had such immeasurable experiences and studying them.</p><p>A few years ago I was introduced by a friend to a philosopher Alain Forget who I was told had a remarkable ability to give ‘energy. During this ‘energy-giving’ process my friend had been aware of light radiating from him.</p><p>My own ego wanted to persuade this unusual man to allow me to put him under the microscope. But in doing so I found myself perhaps reluctantly at times under the microscope of his perceptual grasp of human nature. And I realise that it has changed me and that much of what I thought about myself was not based in reality.</p><p>This book tells that story.</p><p>~ Peter Fenwick</p>
