What if your consciousness could leave your body—and come back with proof?

This week on ParaTruth: Reborn, we sit down with leading OBE researcher Graham Nicholls to explore the reality behind out-of-body experiences. From his first experience in 1987 to participating in controlled research studies, Graham brings a grounded, rational perspective to something often dismissed as fantasy.

Are OBEs hallucinations… or evidence that consciousness exists beyond the physical body?

Tune in and decide for yourself.

00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:03.640
Coming up on Paratruth ree Born, I'll be talking to

2
00:00:03.759 --> 00:00:06.839
Graham Nichols about out of body experiences.

3
00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:14.359
Welcome, we do parent Truth.

4
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:40.880
Truth, what's going on paratruthers. Welcome to another episode of

5
00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:45.640
Paratruth Reborn. My name is Justin and I am very

6
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:48.280
happy to welcome Graham Nichols to the show to talk

7
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:52.399
about out of body experiences. Graham, Welcome to Paratruth re Born.

8
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:55.039
Hi, thank you, it's good to be here.

9
00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:00.280
Now what got you started in studying out of body experiences?

10
00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:05.480
Well, I guess having my own spontaneous experiences when I

11
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:10.719
was around eleven or twelve, and then learning to induce

12
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:13.760
them a couple of years later.

13
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:15.000
So it was kind of.

14
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:18.920
It happened naturally to me, and then I wanted to

15
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:23.439
understand what the experience was and learn more about it.

16
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:27.760
And basically I heard about the concepts. I don't really

17
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:29.799
remember where I heard about it. It was maybe an UR

18
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:33.200
newspaper or on the television or something, but I heard

19
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:36.480
about this concept about body experiences and I had the

20
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:39.879
sort of Eureka moment, Oh, that's what happened to me.

21
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:46.719
So that began the process of looking into it. And

22
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:51.280
read the book on the subject, and then discovered there

23
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:53.920
was a teacher in London who was giving a lecture

24
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:59.120
around that time as well. So I kind of went

25
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:02.680
to his lecture and then became his kind of prodigy,

26
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:06.799
I guess, and started working for him on the weekends,

27
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:11.520
and so it just became my focus in life, I guess.

28
00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:16.000
Okay, So I think a lot of people associate out

29
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:19.680
a body of experiences with near death experiences. What's the difference.

30
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.919
I think out of body experiences are a component of

31
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:28.960
a near death experience. An out of body experience can

32
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:33.479
obviously happen completely independently of a near death experience. Out

33
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:38.120
of body experiences can arise from many different states of consciousness,

34
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:43.280
whereas a near death experience really is inducing an out

35
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:46.319
of body experience because of a cardiac arrest or because

36
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:49.039
of a situation where you're very close to death. It's

37
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:52.680
not always cardiac arrest, but very very close to a

38
00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:56.840
sort of death state, and then someone will have an

39
00:02:56.840 --> 00:03:01.479
out body experience and that and then develop into things

40
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:04.680
like going down the tunnel that many people are aware of,

41
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:09.639
meeting with loved ones who've passed over, that kind of

42
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:14.319
description that we're all sort of familiar with. But yeah,

43
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:16.159
so I think the out of body experience is really

44
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:20.800
a component of that near death situation. There's even the

45
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:24.080
area of shared death experiences, which are less known about,

46
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:28.240
and shared death experiences are when someone has an out

47
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:30.879
of body experience at the same time as someone else

48
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:33.680
is having a near death experience or an actual death

49
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:38.879
experience and shares in that process. I had an experience

50
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:45.080
like that when I witnessed a plane crash basically the

51
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:47.560
people who died in a plane crash, and I found

52
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:52.800
myself in this misty, cloud like environment. I witnessed all

53
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:56.319
these people in a state of confusion, not really sure

54
00:03:56.960 --> 00:04:01.159
what was happening to them. I even saw them going

55
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:04.639
through their life review and the whole process. And then

56
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:09.159
shortly after that experience, I discovered that there had been

57
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:13.280
a plane crash in Svalbard, which is an island part

58
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:16.920
of Norway, and it was sort of on the news

59
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:20.279
the next day or I don't remember exactly when they

60
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:24.120
reported it, but after my experience and I realized that

61
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:26.279
it was at the same time that I'd had the

62
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:30.000
outboody experience, so it all kind of correlated, and the

63
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:33.279
description of the people were sort of they were of

64
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:36.839
Slavic descent. They were miners going to the island to

65
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:40.120
do mining work, and I've literally seen them as kind

66
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:44.800
of manual workers, you know, very kind of leathered appearance

67
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:47.680
and that kind of thing. So, yeah, that was a

68
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:52.120
powerful experience because I could kind of verify it in

69
00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:55.480
the real world essentially. So that's an example of a

70
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:57.160
kind of shared def experience.

71
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:03.680
That's that fascinating that you had that experience because I've

72
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:11.600
heard of people astro projecting, which is typically considered our

73
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:16.920
body experience in a sense, and doing like work on

74
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:21.800
the astral plane while they're out of their body. So

75
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:25.120
it's fascinating that you had an experience that kind of

76
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:30.199
correlates with that. Now, when you had your first experience

77
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:32.920
at eleven, what was that experience?

78
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:39.560
Like? The very first experiences were quite fleeting. My memory

79
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:45.399
of them is quite vague now, but essentially they were

80
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:48.720
quite unusual actually because they weren't like most people tend

81
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:51.160
to think of coming out of your body, looking back

82
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:53.680
at yourself, lying on the bed, that kind of description.

83
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:57.839
But it wasn't that at all. Those first experiences. I

84
00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:02.560
found myself of half a mile from where I actually

85
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:05.399
lived near to the school that I went to at

86
00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:10.399
the time, and I found myself sort of floating vertically

87
00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:14.480
off the ground, maybe hard to say, half a meter

88
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:17.800
something like that. But I was off the ground, and

89
00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:21.199
I was observing the environment around me, and it was

90
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:26.279
hyper vivid, hyper real, you know, it was like I

91
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:29.199
was physically there. The only difference was that I was

92
00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:33.279
off the ground, which obviously wouldn't be a normal scenario.

93
00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:37.319
So I didn't know what this was. I didn't know

94
00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:41.560
what I was experiencing. I wasn't asleep, so it wasn't

95
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:44.519
like I knew. It wasn't a dream, and I felt

96
00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:49.079
myself go into this sort of altered state. It was

97
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:51.360
sort of like a trance state came over me, which

98
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:53.319
is still how I do it now. I don't do

99
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:56.199
it from sleep, which is often an assumption people make.

100
00:06:56.720 --> 00:06:58.439
I don't do it from sleep. I don't do it

101
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:01.079
from sleep paralysis. I don't do it from lizard dreams,

102
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:05.240
from a like a trance state, basically a conscious waking

103
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:10.680
trance state. And yeah, so that's kind of how it happened.

104
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:13.879
And I just found myself in that location and was

105
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:19.560
obviously surprise startle. Looked around at the environment, and then

106
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:22.720
a few moments later I found myself back in my body,

107
00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:26.959
back in my bedroom. So they were quite brief, kind

108
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:32.120
of fleeting experiences, those early ones, but obviously they stayed

109
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:33.839
in my memory and I was kind of like, what

110
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:38.040
was that. I had no language for it. I didn't

111
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:41.879
know what it was until I heard about this concept.

112
00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:44.000
Out of all the experiences.

113
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:48.439
Now, I mean eleven, twelve years old, that's a really

114
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:51.399
young age to be having this experience. Was there a

115
00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:56.839
point that you thought it could be a dream or

116
00:07:56.839 --> 00:07:59.560
when did you realize that, you know, this is something

117
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:02.120
more than just a dream.

118
00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:06.399
I don't think I really considered them to be dreams, because,

119
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:11.240
like I said, I was awake and you know, conscious

120
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:15.319
when the state came over me, and it didn't feel

121
00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:19.360
like a dream in any way. And it's that's still

122
00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:24.879
the case today, and I've had my EEG observed. Now

123
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:29.639
I've done a lot of research with my own kind

124
00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:33.919
of using neurofeedback and things like that sort of eg

125
00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:36.919
that sort of thing to look at my own brain states.

126
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:40.639
I used that to sort of develop my own sound technology,

127
00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:44.279
which uses infrasound infeliminal technology.

128
00:08:44.679 --> 00:08:47.120
So during the process of developing that.

129
00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:51.120
I did a lot of monitoring of my own brain state,

130
00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:54.519
monitoring when I was in the vibrational state, which is

131
00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:58.600
sort of the precursor to a lot of our body experiences.

132
00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:03.120
One of them, I call them the transitional stages. There

133
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:07.080
are others that the void state, for example, that's another

134
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:11.600
common one that people have, but the vibrations are the

135
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:17.519
most common. And so I sort of observed what was

136
00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:20.960
going on with my own brain while the vibrations were happening,

137
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:25.279
and then sort of developed the sound technology to kind

138
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:29.919
of work with those same brain waves and replicate that

139
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:35.480
our body state, or the vibrational state anyway. So during

140
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:39.159
that process, it was clear that I wasn't having rapid

141
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:43.240
eye movement. I wasn't in the kind of brain ways

142
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:47.759
that you would associate with sleep or with dreaming. And

143
00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:51.200
then we have also, you know, more recent science like

144
00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:55.639
fMRI research that's been done in Canada, for example, that

145
00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:00.279
where they took a young woman who was a to

146
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:04.960
induce our body experiences pretty much consistently, and they put

147
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:06.960
her in the from her eye scanner and looked at

148
00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:12.480
her brain state, and again, she wasn't having the brain

149
00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:15.759
waves that you would associate with with dreaming, or at

150
00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:19.440
least the dreaming. So we have quite a bit of

151
00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:23.240
research that sort of demonstrates that that it's not it's

152
00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:24.480
not just a dream state.

153
00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:31.399
Okay, well, and I mean just like the near death experiences.

154
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:34.519
I mean, if you can describe something that's in the

155
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:37.840
room next door, you hadn't been in that room before,

156
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:40.480
and you're taking part in an experiment like that, I

157
00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:44.559
assume that you're not dreaming. So I completely get that.

158
00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:49.000
But from you know, from a young child's perspective, it

159
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:53.840
I almost wonder if it ever felt like a dream

160
00:10:53.879 --> 00:11:01.960
to you, But obviously it didn't. So trying to tell

161
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:05.200
people this from you know, from that young of an age.

162
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:06.600
How did people react to that?

163
00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:13.720
I don't really remember too much about how they reacted.

164
00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:17.759
I guess it was more when I started learning to

165
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:22.879
induce them myself, which was about fourteen, and when I

166
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:26.600
was working with the teacher, my sort of mentor, Douglas Baker,

167
00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:32.480
when that process began. That was when I started talking

168
00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:36.320
about it more. I guess some people were superstitious about it.

169
00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:40.840
A lot of people have unfounded fears and things about

170
00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:46.000
the experience, So there was that some people that were

171
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:49.440
just you know, skeptical, but not in an engaging way.

172
00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:51.840
They would just be like, oh, I don't really believe

173
00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:54.639
in that. And that was as far as the conversation went.

174
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:58.399
So it wasn't like it was sort of like a

175
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:00.960
big debate or anything like that. It was just, you know,

176
00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:06.360
it was either disinterest or superstition or genuine interest. Those

177
00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:09.720
were the sort of three responses I had. I guess

178
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:15.000
my parents were interested in a sort of it's not

179
00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:19.519
my thing, but it's interesting kind of That was sort

180
00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:25.200
of their attitude towards it. I guess, Okay, now, something

181
00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:28.919
that I've always wanted to try as actual projector even

182
00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:31.559
have our body experience or even.

183
00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:37.000
Stuff like that. But one of my biggest fears has

184
00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:41.399
always been not wanting to come back or getting separated

185
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:46.320
from my body. Is that a possibility, I don't think so.

186
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:51.360
I've not really come across any real evidence that that's really.

187
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:53.440
A genuine concern.

188
00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:57.399
I mean, most people, you know, in the in the

189
00:12:57.480 --> 00:13:00.440
teaching I do, when I work sort of private tuition

190
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:03.519
with students and things like that, a lot of the

191
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:08.039
focus is on staying out longer. It's not on it's

192
00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:10.440
not on like whether they'll come back or not, because

193
00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:14.840
most experiences when you're learning, the first experiences tend to

194
00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:20.840
be shorter, and then as you develop, as the whole

195
00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:24.519
process gets kind of deeper, it sort of starts to

196
00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:27.879
get to around twenty minutes seems to be about the

197
00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:31.919
average experience with people. So it's not like it's a

198
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:36.200
really long experience or like this really any issue with

199
00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:40.639
getting back to the body. I think being in the

200
00:13:40.679 --> 00:13:44.159
body is sort of your default state, if you like so,

201
00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:50.000
I think I think it's more like your brain, your

202
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:52.639
mind wants to kind of click back into its normal

203
00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:55.159
state of being. But then we can get into the

204
00:13:55.200 --> 00:14:00.639
whole philosophical perspective of is it actually taking place in

205
00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:04.000
the sense of something leaving the body, like a soul

206
00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:06.679
or a spirit or anything like that. I tend to

207
00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:10.559
think it's more like an extended consciousness that you're sending

208
00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:15.600
some aspect of yourself, some perceptual part of yourself to

209
00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:21.120
another location, rather than like a literal sort of spirit

210
00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:21.799
body or.

211
00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:22.600
Something like that.

212
00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:27.120
So when you look at it in that more modern context,

213
00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:31.279
I think then the idea of being inside or outside

214
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:34.360
starts to break down a little bit as well. There's

215
00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:37.879
the whole idea. You know a lot of ideas about

216
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:41.320
like is consciousness even based in the brain, or is

217
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:44.559
it just is it like a field around us? Is

218
00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:48.360
it sort of extended so we're almost like a node

219
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:52.039
on a bigger network. So there's lots of possibilities for

220
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:55.720
how the experience might take place. So I don't think

221
00:14:55.799 --> 00:15:01.000
that's really anything to worry about.

222
00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:04.279
Well, I'm glad you explain it like that, because then

223
00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:06.799
it kind of makes me think of like remote viewing

224
00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:10.039
or you know, like a telepathic experience, stuff like that

225
00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:13.639
over your spirit or soul or whatever you want to

226
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:15.399
think about it, leaving your body.

227
00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:21.360
Yeah, well I see it like I mean, I don't.

228
00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:25.000
With all of this work, I tend to take the

229
00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:29.039
approach of I'm always open to learning new things and

230
00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:33.960
seeing what the truth might be. I'm definitely not a

231
00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:36.759
person who's into dogma and saying, oh, this is how

232
00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:39.879
it is and I've worked it all out. I tend

233
00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:42.360
to shy away from people like that. I'm kind of right,

234
00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:46.840
you know, I'm never convinced by that kind of thing,

235
00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:49.559
because although it maybe sounds good in a kind of

236
00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:53.200
sales pitch kind of way, I don't think it really

237
00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:56.840
I don't think it's really true that anyone can say

238
00:15:56.639 --> 00:16:00.840
they've worked these things out. I think it's far more

239
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:04.039
exciting in a way to be open and say, well,

240
00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:06.720
we don't really know how it works, and there's these

241
00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:11.240
little clues and hints, and we're kind of developing more understanding,

242
00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:13.240
and that's what I try to do. That's why I'm

243
00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:16.840
quite interested in being involved in the science. And I

244
00:16:16.919 --> 00:16:20.600
think pretty much the only author, the only person in

245
00:16:20.639 --> 00:16:24.240
this field who's also doing science and taking part in

246
00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:29.120
experiments and that kind of thing. And part of the

247
00:16:29.159 --> 00:16:32.440
reason for that is because I really believe in the

248
00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:35.639
more we understand the experience, the better we'll be able

249
00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:38.840
to induce the experience and to teach people how to

250
00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:42.080
do it, and also the more likely it will be

251
00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:45.320
that it will be taken more seriously and people will,

252
00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:47.960
you know, start to see that there is something valid

253
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:50.679
in this experience for sure.

254
00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:56.600
Well, and you know, anybody who cause themselves and quote

255
00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:00.080
a quote expert in anything that has to do with

256
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:05.359
paranormal supernatural stuff, it's like, well, are you an expert though,

257
00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:10.680
because there's a lot that is still unexplained, and if

258
00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:13.599
you're an expert, you should be able to explain anything

259
00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:17.759
that has to do with what you're talking about.

260
00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:22.440
Well, to some degree, I think expertise can be that

261
00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:27.599
you have a full knowledge of the current available information,

262
00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:31.640
the current available knowledge, you know, because it's I guess

263
00:17:31.640 --> 00:17:35.079
with everything, it's all you know, it's only to the

264
00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:38.000
level that we currently understand it. It's like with medical

265
00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:42.279
science or something. You know, someone can be an expert

266
00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:45.599
in brain and science, but they're an expert in our

267
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:49.319
current understanding of brain science. So I guess it's sort

268
00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:53.079
of but you know, who knows. Twenty years time, the

269
00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:58.799
field might be completely completely transformed. So but that's exciting

270
00:17:58.839 --> 00:18:01.359
to me because I am, you know, I'm really interested

271
00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:06.680
in all these interesting aspects of the experience. For example,

272
00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:09.440
I'm very interested in the visual perception in obe s

273
00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:13.759
because you're talking about seeing things in another room or whatever. Well,

274
00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:16.319
in order to do that and understand that, we need

275
00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:20.160
to understand how vision works in an hour body experience.

276
00:18:20.599 --> 00:18:24.119
Often it's just assumed that it's exactly the same as

277
00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:28.519
it is in any other, you know, situation, like in

278
00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:29.720
normal everyday life.

279
00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:32.200
But of course, why would it.

280
00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:34.759
Be like that you're in a completely different, altered state

281
00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:38.440
of consciousness You're perceiving things in a completely different way,

282
00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:42.119
so why would vision work in the same way. And

283
00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:45.640
we have all these clues, like, for example, the cerulean state,

284
00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:48.240
as I call it, which is this sort of blue

285
00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:53.559
gray state of vision that I've had in several of

286
00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:59.279
my verified witnessed experiences, especially my sort of most famous,

287
00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:02.480
the sort of so Ho pre cognitive experience that I had,

288
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:06.240
where I witnessed I was in a room with four

289
00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:09.839
other people teaching them the g technique, which is one

290
00:19:09.880 --> 00:19:12.240
of the methods I used to induce an out of

291
00:19:12.279 --> 00:19:17.440
body experience, and I went into quite a deep chance state,

292
00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:23.200
went out of body, found myself in Soho in central London,

293
00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:28.480
and I witnessed a bombing an explosion coming out from

294
00:19:28.519 --> 00:19:32.079
a pub a bar at the far end of the street.

295
00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:36.680
And then told everyone in the room.

296
00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:39.160
What I perceived and that I felt that this was

297
00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:44.039
a precognitive experience. It was one of the deepest experiences

298
00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:47.160
I've ever had. Several of the people there had to

299
00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:50.200
sort of try and coax me back to consciousness because

300
00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:52.920
I was very very deep in this sort of altered state.

301
00:19:54.039 --> 00:19:57.200
But when I did come back to the room, I

302
00:19:57.279 --> 00:20:01.839
described everything that happened, and then fire days later there

303
00:20:01.960 --> 00:20:05.480
was a bombing in that exact street, in a bar

304
00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:09.960
in the location that I said. If people are interested,

305
00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:13.799
there's a video with one of the witnesses describing it

306
00:20:13.839 --> 00:20:18.079
as well. You can on my website or on YouTube.

307
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:19.920
So yeah, that was.

308
00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:24.839
It's a very unique experience because it was precognitive. It

309
00:20:24.920 --> 00:20:27.880
was witnessed as I had the outbu the experience, and

310
00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:30.480
all of the details were verified.

311
00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:36.960
So so doing this it's not just like in present time.

312
00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:42.319
Because you mentioned precognition, you can have a out of

313
00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:45.519
body experience and be experiencing stuff in other parts of time.

314
00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:51.559
Then yeah, I mean I didn't intentionally go into you know,

315
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:54.559
I struggled with the whole idea of precognition.

316
00:20:54.640 --> 00:20:55.279
I still do.

317
00:20:56.680 --> 00:20:59.799
I think, you know, the whole idea of seeing something

318
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:04.640
for it happens is quite counterintuitive. I guess it's a

319
00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:09.000
difficult thing to get your head round, right, So yeah,

320
00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:14.720
I struggled with that concept. But I had this strong

321
00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:19.839
intuitive feeling that what I'd seen was not happening right now,

322
00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:23.880
but was a pre cognitive experience, and I said that

323
00:21:24.039 --> 00:21:27.039
at the time to the people in the room. So

324
00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:31.559
it was you know it was. It was very unusual

325
00:21:31.599 --> 00:21:33.680
for me. So it's not something that I would say

326
00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:38.000
I do. I don't sort of look to go sort

327
00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:40.720
of to the future or anything like that, particularly in

328
00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:44.920
my experiences. But I've had I've had probably three pre

329
00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:50.759
cognitive experiences, so it's not a common feature. But that

330
00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:55.359
was interesting because it was probably my most powerful outbody

331
00:21:55.440 --> 00:21:57.839
experience and it was also pre cognitive, and it was

332
00:21:57.880 --> 00:21:58.759
also witnessed.

333
00:21:58.880 --> 00:22:06.039
So now, can anybody do this or learn how to

334
00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:06.400
do this?

335
00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:12.359
I think within reason, yeah, I mean with my private

336
00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:17.599
tuition and courses and things that I teach, I think

337
00:22:17.839 --> 00:22:22.359
most people, most people can get to a sort of

338
00:22:23.359 --> 00:22:27.640
reasonable level if they if they do it consistently. That's

339
00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:31.720
really the key, the big mistake. This is a really

340
00:22:31.799 --> 00:22:34.119
good piece of advice because the big mistake that most

341
00:22:34.119 --> 00:22:37.440
people make is that they jump from technique to technique,

342
00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:40.880
and I think with OBEs it's a bit like muscle memory.

343
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:45.279
You need to consistently do the practice, even if it

344
00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:48.839
becomes tedious, even if you feel like you're not making progress,

345
00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:51.519
you have to kind of stick with it and be

346
00:22:51.680 --> 00:22:55.480
consistent with the technique. When I learned to induce my

347
00:22:55.559 --> 00:23:00.400
own experiences I just had one basic technique that i'd

348
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:04.599
read in this book by Genetly Mitchell, a parapsychologist, and

349
00:23:04.680 --> 00:23:09.200
I just did that technique relentlessly because it was the

350
00:23:09.240 --> 00:23:12.759
only one I had, and I think that was actually

351
00:23:13.039 --> 00:23:16.160
part of why I ended up being successful. But it

352
00:23:16.200 --> 00:23:19.880
did take six months for me to get to that point,

353
00:23:19.920 --> 00:23:25.039
even though I'd had a few spontaneous experiences already. So

354
00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:28.119
I think there's a yeah, there's a degree of kind

355
00:23:28.160 --> 00:23:29.519
of persistence with it.

356
00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:32.160
But I think, like with most.

357
00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:36.240
Things, like with playing a musical instrument or learning a

358
00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:40.599
language or something like that, I think it comes down

359
00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:43.880
to who's going to be persistent and he's going to

360
00:23:43.960 --> 00:23:48.200
kind of keep going when maybe the initial excitement has

361
00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:52.599
worn off and keep going with the process. But what,

362
00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:54.359
like I said, what a lot of people do is

363
00:23:54.359 --> 00:23:56.880
they'll sort of they're looking for this sort of wonder

364
00:23:56.960 --> 00:24:02.359
technique and really there there isn't one. The biggest key

365
00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:06.000
is that consistency, and then on top of that, it's

366
00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:06.839
the pre state.

367
00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:08.680
That's what I always advise.

368
00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:12.039
People, Like in my teaching with people, I always focus

369
00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:15.079
on teaching them how to get to the pre state

370
00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:17.920
for the outbody experience. What I mean by the pre

371
00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:20.680
state is kind of like the altered state that I

372
00:24:20.759 --> 00:24:23.920
talked about, being in that sort of deep state, so

373
00:24:23.960 --> 00:24:28.640
that you can initiate the outbody experience from that. Because again,

374
00:24:28.799 --> 00:24:31.559
what a lot of people do is they learn a technique,

375
00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:34.759
say online, they look up a technique, and then they

376
00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:38.359
try to apply that technique without being in a sort

377
00:24:38.359 --> 00:24:41.839
of altered state to start with, or they just try

378
00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:45.119
to do they try to get into sleep paralysis or

379
00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:49.519
something like that. And that's not the greatest either, because

380
00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:53.720
sleep paralysis is for most people are very negative, scary,

381
00:24:54.359 --> 00:24:58.599
unpleasant experience. So it's not really the way that I

382
00:24:59.160 --> 00:25:04.039
would recommend for most people. Unless you have it naturally

383
00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:07.119
all the time or something, then obviously yes, utilize it,

384
00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:10.400
but I don't think it's particularly something to look for

385
00:25:10.519 --> 00:25:13.960
because it's you know, it's a very unpleasant experience to

386
00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:17.839
have really for most people. So so yeah, I guess

387
00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:21.319
another approach I take is to try and cater the

388
00:25:21.799 --> 00:25:26.599
methodologies the techniques to the individual, because I think sometimes,

389
00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:31.000
for example, people will give someone a visualization method and

390
00:25:31.079 --> 00:25:33.680
maybe that person is no good at visualizing, maybe they

391
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:38.200
can't visualize, so that's not very good or They'll give

392
00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:42.400
someone a lucid dream method and that person never remembers

393
00:25:42.440 --> 00:25:45.480
their dreams, even so, how are they going to get lucid?

394
00:25:46.839 --> 00:25:48.440
So it's about.

395
00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:53.200
Applying the right methodology, the right approaches for the individual.

396
00:25:54.400 --> 00:26:01.279
Okay, now, when you're starting to induce this state of consciousness,

397
00:26:01.359 --> 00:26:04.279
is there like a type of meditation involved or how

398
00:26:04.319 --> 00:26:07.319
does that usually work when you're starting to go into

399
00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:08.039
an obe.

400
00:26:09.839 --> 00:26:13.119
It's a bit more complicated than the type of meditation

401
00:26:13.240 --> 00:26:15.319
I would say. I would say there's sort of different

402
00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:19.079
components to it. Like I mentioned the sound technology I use,

403
00:26:19.559 --> 00:26:23.319
which is not binormal beats. A lot of people, you know,

404
00:26:23.400 --> 00:26:28.400
assume it's binural beats, but I literally developed infraliminal sound

405
00:26:29.599 --> 00:26:33.079
because I didn't find binural beats very effective for me.

406
00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:35.400
So I started to look.

407
00:26:35.240 --> 00:26:39.279
Into alternatives, and then I looked into infrasound, and then

408
00:26:39.359 --> 00:26:43.359
also looked into hypnotic suggestion and things like that. So

409
00:26:43.599 --> 00:26:46.759
basically I sort of combined the two together and developed

410
00:26:46.839 --> 00:26:49.839
that sound technology. And it was also based on the

411
00:26:49.920 --> 00:26:52.839
vibrational state. When I'm in the vibrational state, trying to

412
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:57.920
sort of replicate that, So that's something I use to

413
00:26:58.240 --> 00:27:03.640
get me to that different state of awareness. I also

414
00:27:04.480 --> 00:27:10.240
will use things like sensory deprivation. I also work with breathings.

415
00:27:10.279 --> 00:27:14.799
So the G technique is a combination of breathing techniques

416
00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:20.440
and physical sort of physical muscle tension and things like that.

417
00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:27.079
So it's essentially creating a complete physiological shift into a

418
00:27:27.119 --> 00:27:31.640
different state that then facilitates the out of body experience.

419
00:27:31.880 --> 00:27:36.920
So there's a sort of meditational component within all of that,

420
00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:39.960
but it's you know, it needs to have the complete

421
00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:44.079
sort of holistic package, i'd say to be most effective.

422
00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:50.160
Gotcha, Now, what kind of research and experiments have you

423
00:27:50.279 --> 00:27:53.559
done in doing all of this and.

424
00:27:55.400 --> 00:27:57.000
Working with OBUs.

425
00:27:57.480 --> 00:27:59.920
You mean in a science context.

426
00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:04.960
With yeah, like like you mentioned, bring scans and stuff

427
00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:08.799
like that to verify that you're not in a sleeping steed.

428
00:28:09.640 --> 00:28:12.640
Oh okay, Well most of that was done when I

429
00:28:12.680 --> 00:28:16.880
was developing the infraliminal sound using neuro feedback, so had

430
00:28:16.920 --> 00:28:21.720
sort of like the EEG system and so it was giving.

431
00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:25.000
So then while I was in the EG, I would

432
00:28:26.079 --> 00:28:28.160
or the nearer feedback because it's sort of on a

433
00:28:28.200 --> 00:28:32.200
computer system, so you get like a visual representation of

434
00:28:32.519 --> 00:28:37.319
what's going on in your own head basically, so I

435
00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:41.039
would use that and I would go into the vibrational

436
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:44.759
state initially, and so then we could see the different

437
00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:47.880
sort of patterns that were coming up, and you know,

438
00:28:47.960 --> 00:28:52.279
logging all of that information and then from there sort

439
00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:53.240
of going into.

440
00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:54.240
The out body experience.

441
00:28:55.480 --> 00:28:58.839
So there was that, then there was also and the

442
00:28:58.880 --> 00:29:02.279
brain state was notistant with sleep or dreaming, and there

443
00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:05.519
was no rim either. So I've been observed quite a

444
00:29:05.559 --> 00:29:10.160
lot while out of body, and my breathing doesn't become

445
00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:13.880
how you would normally, you know, associate someone with being asleep.

446
00:29:13.960 --> 00:29:16.480
I mean, most of us know what it looks like

447
00:29:16.599 --> 00:29:20.680
when somebody's asleep. They're breathing changes there. You know, their

448
00:29:21.319 --> 00:29:25.680
muscle tension and things like that changes that. It's very

449
00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:29.759
sort of clear when someone's asleep. So none of that

450
00:29:29.880 --> 00:29:38.680
is present. My pulse goes very low. Oxygenation can shift

451
00:29:38.720 --> 00:29:42.400
as well, which is interesting. I often I've got sort

452
00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:45.319
of a sensory deprivation room in my home here that

453
00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:48.519
I use from my practice a lot, and I have

454
00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:51.640
a pulse oximeter in there which sort of monitors my

455
00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:55.559
oxygen levels and my pulse rate and things like that.

456
00:29:55.720 --> 00:29:58.200
So I try to monitor as much as I can

457
00:29:58.359 --> 00:30:02.160
on a on a consistent level, and when people you

458
00:30:02.200 --> 00:30:06.400
know are around, they sort of can. My my ex partner,

459
00:30:06.440 --> 00:30:10.119
for example, she observed me quite often and you know,

460
00:30:10.359 --> 00:30:13.839
was was clear that it was different when I was

461
00:30:13.880 --> 00:30:16.599
in an auburty experience too, when I was asleep, So.

462
00:30:16.680 --> 00:30:17.480
Things like that.

463
00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:23.279
And then I've taken part in scientific research, but that's

464
00:30:23.400 --> 00:30:28.799
more to do with psychic perceptions. So I've done precognition

465
00:30:28.960 --> 00:30:32.880
experiments with Rupert ChIL Drake got the highest score he'd

466
00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:39.240
ever seen in that. I've also done telepathy experiments with

467
00:30:39.319 --> 00:30:45.960
Rupert Schildrake using telephone telepathy. So you get a phone

468
00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:50.400
call and you have to select using a numb like

469
00:30:50.559 --> 00:30:53.680
on the keypad. You have to select who you believe

470
00:30:53.799 --> 00:30:57.359
is calling you, but you know, up until that point

471
00:30:57.440 --> 00:31:00.319
the call is not actually connected. But once you make

472
00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:02.440
the selection and it connects and you see if you're

473
00:31:02.519 --> 00:31:06.440
right or wrong. So that that's sort of telephone telepathy experiments.

474
00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:09.920
So I organized some of those experiments as well as

475
00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:17.680
took part in them. Then I also did micropsychokinesis experiments

476
00:31:17.759 --> 00:31:21.319
with Dean Raiding at the Institute of Noteic Sciences in

477
00:31:21.359 --> 00:31:26.720
the US, So that's literally trying to affect things on

478
00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:30.599
a quantum level. They headed interferometer, which is basically what

479
00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:34.319
they use for the double slit experiments. It's firing photons

480
00:31:34.359 --> 00:31:37.759
through the double slits and psychically or in a kind

481
00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:41.880
of a shielded Faraday room. It's sort of like a

482
00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:46.000
steel box essentially, almost like a yeah, just like a

483
00:31:46.039 --> 00:31:50.000
kind of steel box, like a kind of industrial refrigerator.

484
00:31:50.079 --> 00:31:51.759
It looks like it's got like a big sort of

485
00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:54.079
hand or on the door and stuff. Okay, but they

486
00:31:54.519 --> 00:31:56.440
put you in there and then you have to try

487
00:31:56.480 --> 00:32:02.960
and psychically influence the doubles flit experiment. So we've got

488
00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:07.279
positive results in that, and Dean Raiding has replicated that

489
00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:11.680
experiment now in sort of multiple himself, and also it's

490
00:32:11.720 --> 00:32:16.839
been done in other institutions, and most recently, I've been

491
00:32:17.119 --> 00:32:21.000
working with the Ryan Research Center for probably over a

492
00:32:21.039 --> 00:32:27.000
decade now, and one of the projects we've done was

493
00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:32.240
a fourteen week more like the classic thing that you

494
00:32:32.359 --> 00:32:35.960
might think sort of like remote viewing or out of

495
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:41.519
body experiences to perceive targets. So sometimes he used remote viewing,

496
00:32:41.599 --> 00:32:44.759
sometimes he used out of body experiences. The targets were

497
00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:47.039
set up in the US. At the time, I was

498
00:32:47.039 --> 00:32:50.279
living in Estonia. So all I was sent was an

499
00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:55.359
email to say that there was a new target or

500
00:32:55.400 --> 00:32:59.440
whatever was being selected, and then I had to try

501
00:32:59.480 --> 00:33:05.519
and see the target from Estonia. And interestingly, the out

502
00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:10.000
of body experienced ones where I tried to proceed the

503
00:33:10.039 --> 00:33:13.119
target while in an outbody experience, those were the ones

504
00:33:13.119 --> 00:33:17.400
that were most accurate. But overall it was statistically significant

505
00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:21.839
and we had positive results. So all the experiments I've

506
00:33:21.839 --> 00:33:26.880
done have been statistically significant of a positive. So, yeah,

507
00:33:27.160 --> 00:33:30.599
those are the main ones I've done.

508
00:33:31.559 --> 00:33:35.240
Now, has there ever been an experience that was kind

509
00:33:35.240 --> 00:33:39.079
of and this is gonna sound weird, outside the norm

510
00:33:39.359 --> 00:33:41.880
of your normal orbe experiences?

511
00:33:43.799 --> 00:33:47.119
Can you be a bit more What do you mean51200:33:47.160 --> 00:33:48.279



by outside the norm?51300:33:49.000 --> 00:33:53.400



Like you, for example, you had an out of body51400:33:53.480 --> 00:33:59.039



experience on another planet or in a astral projective state,51500:33:59.240 --> 00:33:59.920



stuff like that.51600:34:02.799 --> 00:34:07.759



Well, I've I've had experiences on other levels like the51700:34:07.759 --> 00:34:12.119



one I mentioned with the you know, the shared death experience.51800:34:13.840 --> 00:34:16.559



I've had a lot on those other levels. But I guess,51900:34:16.800 --> 00:34:19.159



I guess I'm always a bit cautious with that because52000:34:19.199 --> 00:34:27.239



it's it's tricky too, I guess to say, how objective,52100:34:27.480 --> 00:34:32.400



how definite, those kinds of experiences are. And in the52200:34:33.000 --> 00:34:36.840



many decades that I've sort of been exploring this, I've52300:34:36.880 --> 00:34:40.480



seen this tendency that I guess most people have, most52400:34:40.559 --> 00:34:44.239



humans have, me included. I'm not separating myself in that52500:34:44.360 --> 00:34:47.800



sense to to kind of get caught in your own52600:34:48.039 --> 00:34:52.719



interpretation of things. And I guess going back to that52700:34:52.880 --> 00:34:55.679



sort of that I like to keep an open mind52800:34:55.800 --> 00:34:59.960



and open perception. I try not to sort of assume52900:35:00.039 --> 00:35:03.360



and what it is that I'm seeing, so I tend53000:35:03.360 --> 00:35:06.719



to be more cautious about those kinds of experiences. But53100:35:06.840 --> 00:35:11.320



in terms of planets and that kind of stuff, I've53200:35:11.400 --> 00:35:14.599



had a few experiences actually, one that was kind of53300:35:14.679 --> 00:35:19.400



semi verified as well, where I initially thought I was53400:35:19.480 --> 00:35:23.760



moving over the surface of the moon, our local moon, okay,53500:35:25.239 --> 00:35:28.320



and it had all the sort of craters and looked53600:35:28.360 --> 00:35:31.400



gray and you know, everything like I would expect of53700:35:31.480 --> 00:35:36.119



the moon. But then I came upon this distinctive ridge53800:35:36.840 --> 00:35:40.880



running through the moon that was sort of greenish, and53900:35:41.159 --> 00:35:43.840



you know, it was quite prominent, like right across the54000:35:43.880 --> 00:35:47.599



surface of the moon. And that was really interesting because54100:35:47.599 --> 00:35:51.880



I was like, well, this isn't this obviously isn't local moon.54200:35:51.960 --> 00:35:55.400



This is obviously somewhere else, so kind of where am I?54300:35:56.280 --> 00:35:57.039



So I tried to.54400:35:58.920 --> 00:36:01.000



Try to sort of not to you like, as much54500:36:01.039 --> 00:36:04.679



as I could about the environment. And then afterwards I54600:36:05.000 --> 00:36:08.000



went online and I typed in all of the details54700:36:08.000 --> 00:36:10.760



that I was able to perceive, the main one being54800:36:10.800 --> 00:36:15.480



the ridge, and to my surprise, a moon came up54900:36:15.599 --> 00:36:18.599



that matched all the criteria, all the things I perceived55000:36:18.639 --> 00:36:22.840



that I perceived, which was Ipetus, which is one of55100:36:22.880 --> 00:36:26.039



the I think it's the third largest moon of Saturn.55200:36:27.000 --> 00:36:27.199



OK.55300:36:27.800 --> 00:36:33.599



So, yeah, that was That was a really interesting experience55400:36:33.599 --> 00:36:36.760



because it was kind of somewhat verified. I mean, obviously55500:36:36.800 --> 00:36:40.320



it could have been wrong, but it seemed to match55600:36:40.400 --> 00:36:42.960



in every way what I perceived in the experience.55700:36:44.199 --> 00:36:48.440



Right now, have you ever had an experience there that55800:36:48.599 --> 00:36:54.800



frightened you or startled you in any way?55900:36:55.159 --> 00:36:55.679



Not?56000:36:55.679 --> 00:36:59.239



Not really, I mean only I guess the you know,56100:36:59.360 --> 00:37:05.440



the experience was startling. It was somewhat scary because it56200:37:05.480 --> 00:37:10.079



was a it was a you know, a horrible experience56300:37:10.159 --> 00:37:14.199



that was happening to the people in that situation. But56400:37:14.599 --> 00:37:18.119



other than that, no, I haven't because I don't do56500:37:18.199 --> 00:37:21.880



it via sleep proalysis, for example, I don't tend to56600:37:22.119 --> 00:37:24.800



have if you do it that way, there's all the56700:37:24.880 --> 00:37:27.280



kind of sleep paralysis is associated with, you know, the56800:37:27.360 --> 00:37:31.039



cron and the you know, these sort of little creatures56900:37:31.079 --> 00:37:33.880



and things like that. It's more than which I don't57000:37:33.880 --> 00:37:37.320



think are objectively real. I think they're hallucinations. I think57100:37:37.320 --> 00:37:40.960



they're part of your dreaming mind, you know, when you're57200:37:40.960 --> 00:37:44.159



in that paralyzed state, so you're having kind of like57300:37:44.199 --> 00:37:46.519



a waking night there. So if you don't do it57400:37:46.559 --> 00:37:50.280



in that way, then you don't perceive those things essentially,57500:37:50.400 --> 00:37:54.199



so you don't have those kinds of experiences. So yeah,57600:37:54.679 --> 00:37:58.880



I haven't, and my students haven't either, so so yeah,57700:37:59.000 --> 00:38:02.280



so I think quite the opposite. Really, most of the57800:38:02.320 --> 00:38:06.360



experiences are very life affirming and powerful.57900:38:07.280 --> 00:38:13.079



Okay now, and that's same note, and you kind of58000:38:13.119 --> 00:38:17.480



already addressed it. But can it'll be easy be dangerous58100:38:17.480 --> 00:38:18.360



in any way at all?58200:38:20.760 --> 00:38:21.440



I don't think so.58300:38:22.400 --> 00:38:24.760



I can't think of any way that they can be really,58400:38:24.960 --> 00:38:27.559



I mean, I guess the only thing.58500:38:28.039 --> 00:38:29.440



I think it's more the opposite.58600:38:30.440 --> 00:38:33.079



It's strange to me that we focus on this sort58700:38:33.079 --> 00:38:36.280



of idea in a way, because I think the benefits58800:38:36.840 --> 00:38:41.559



vastly outweigh this sort of myth that there's any kind58900:38:41.599 --> 00:38:46.599



of danger or negativity. I think all of that comes59000:38:46.639 --> 00:38:48.800



from sleep broalysis. I think all of that kind of59100:38:48.840 --> 00:38:52.119



fear and like, oh that there's there could be something59200:38:52.159 --> 00:38:56.400



harmful comes from people having sleep brossis experiences and mixing59300:38:56.440 --> 00:39:00.480



them up with our body experiences. So I think it's59400:39:00.599 --> 00:39:03.519



really because they're having a waking nightmare, so they're like, oh,59500:39:03.599 --> 00:39:06.840



you know, this is a dangerous thing or whatever. But59600:39:06.920 --> 00:39:09.480



if you don't do it in that way, you're not59700:39:09.519 --> 00:39:11.920



going to have those kinds of experiences, and you're probably59800:39:11.920 --> 00:39:14.360



not going to have the fears and that kind of thing.59900:39:14.559 --> 00:39:18.119



So yeah, I mean I did quite a deep dive60000:39:19.239 --> 00:39:23.840



for several years looking for any real cases because I60100:39:23.880 --> 00:39:26.760



felt that it was my responsibility, if I'm going to60200:39:26.800 --> 00:39:29.320



teach this thing and I'm going to write books on60300:39:29.400 --> 00:39:30.920



it and that kind of thing.60400:39:31.400 --> 00:39:33.039



To do a real deep dive.60500:39:33.159 --> 00:39:39.960



So I looked into various traditions from voodoo, Santaria, condomble.60600:39:40.920 --> 00:39:45.480



I looked into Goetia, I looked into the Lemma Gatton,60700:39:45.880 --> 00:39:51.079



all this sort of demonology stuff. Some of the early cases,60800:39:51.199 --> 00:39:53.800



like the case that the film The Exorcist was based on.60900:39:54.079 --> 00:39:56.960



I looked into all this kind of stuff. Looking for61000:39:57.159 --> 00:40:01.400



examples of something where there was a new in harm61100:40:01.519 --> 00:40:05.039



or negative outcome, and I found nothing that was convincing.61200:40:05.440 --> 00:40:10.000



I found like people having a scary experience that was61300:40:10.280 --> 00:40:13.719



essentially no worse than they'd had a nightmare. But again,61400:40:15.159 --> 00:40:18.800



ninety nine percent of the time it was a sleep61500:40:18.840 --> 00:40:22.920



paralysis related experience. When someone described something where they were61600:40:22.920 --> 00:40:26.559



scared or whatever, but still nothing harmful happened to them.61700:40:28.599 --> 00:40:32.159



So yeah, so I've not found anything that sort of61800:40:32.199 --> 00:40:35.840



convinces me. But obviously people are entitled to their beliefs.61900:40:35.880 --> 00:40:39.880



If they if they feel, based on religion or something,62000:40:39.920 --> 00:40:43.679



that there's some harm, then obviously they should go with62100:40:43.719 --> 00:40:47.559



what they feel is correct. I just but I can62200:40:47.599 --> 00:40:50.559



say that after you know doing this, I'm in my62300:40:50.639 --> 00:40:54.280



fifties now and I started doing this at like eleven twelve.62400:40:55.960 --> 00:40:59.599



I've had no negative outcomes. I've only seen the positives,62500:40:59.639 --> 00:41:02.360



which it seems to have a healing aspect to it.62600:41:02.360 --> 00:41:06.639



It can be very beneficial, it can be very interconnecting,62700:41:06.800 --> 00:41:09.239



make you feel more connected with the world around you.62800:41:09.360 --> 00:41:11.519



It can it can kind of give you a sense62900:41:11.559 --> 00:41:15.519



of freedom. I think out of body experiences are the63000:41:15.559 --> 00:41:20.360



core component of shamanism for example, because the very definition63100:41:20.440 --> 00:41:23.400



of shamanism is to go out of body to bring63200:41:23.480 --> 00:41:28.199



back healing for the group or the tribe. So it's63300:41:28.280 --> 00:41:31.719



literally and our body experience is a part of shamanic tradition.63400:41:33.119 --> 00:41:38.239



There are I'm working with a Sami chaman at the moment,63500:41:38.760 --> 00:41:43.000



and within his culture there is the use of the63600:41:43.079 --> 00:41:45.840



drum to go into an altered state, then to go63700:41:45.960 --> 00:41:48.840



out of body and to travel, and there's a there's63800:41:48.840 --> 00:41:52.960



a long tradition in that culture from the far north63900:41:53.000 --> 00:41:57.320



of Europe of of going out of body for you know,64000:41:57.480 --> 00:42:03.400



spiritual healing and progression, and it can it's also you know,64100:42:03.519 --> 00:42:05.760



you can see it in other traditions as well, this64200:42:06.280 --> 00:42:09.440



kind of idea of going out of body in a64300:42:09.480 --> 00:42:13.039



sort of positive context. So so yeah, I think I64400:42:13.079 --> 00:42:17.239



think really, as far as I've experienced, it's it's more64500:42:17.280 --> 00:42:22.039



of a beneficial, positive, transformative healing experience.64600:42:23.159 --> 00:42:27.519



Okay, Now, are there any other any other myths that64700:42:27.920 --> 00:42:30.119



people get wrong when it comes to out of about64800:42:30.119 --> 00:42:31.199



the experiences.64900:42:33.840 --> 00:42:37.079



Maybe just the whole focus on on energy bodies and65000:42:37.119 --> 00:42:39.719



things like that, I think that's really common one. And65100:42:39.800 --> 00:42:44.639



silver cords, you know, all that kind of thing. While65200:42:44.800 --> 00:42:48.679



a certain percentage of people do experience a silver cord,65300:42:48.719 --> 00:42:52.360



it's very low. It's sort of in the in my research,65400:42:52.400 --> 00:42:57.159



it's more like one percent. Carlo Salva Doo's research is65500:42:57.199 --> 00:43:02.440



probably the unfortunately he's passed away now, but when he65600:43:02.519 --> 00:43:05.519



was alive, his research was probably the most extensive in65700:43:05.599 --> 00:43:10.480



terms of scientifically collating data and then looking at the65800:43:10.559 --> 00:43:16.320



experience and seeing what people actually experience. And in his65900:43:16.360 --> 00:43:19.280



research he found between five and sort of ten percent66000:43:19.760 --> 00:43:23.320



of people might experience a silver cord. But then interestingly,66100:43:24.639 --> 00:43:28.000



so the majority don't. But then interestingly, also with the body,66200:43:28.079 --> 00:43:31.840



the whole idea of having a second body, the vast66300:43:31.880 --> 00:43:35.440



majority don't have a second body. As well, the majority66400:43:35.480 --> 00:43:40.440



of people, seventy percent of people experience a traveling awareness66500:43:40.519 --> 00:43:43.719



or a traveling consciousness or being some kind of sphere66600:43:43.840 --> 00:43:48.280



of awareness, sphere of energy, something like that, rather than66700:43:48.480 --> 00:43:54.039



a body. So again that's the sort of common misconception66800:43:54.239 --> 00:43:57.880



that people expect. It's that it's an astral body and66900:43:58.000 --> 00:44:00.880



all that kind of thing. But this all comes from67000:44:01.079 --> 00:44:04.119



what I call the theosophical model, which was really put67100:44:04.159 --> 00:44:07.519



forward by the Theosophical Society and the sort of eighteen67200:44:07.639 --> 00:44:11.599



hundreds and onwards where they would talk about that there's67300:44:11.639 --> 00:44:14.280



an etheris body and then there's an astral body and67400:44:14.360 --> 00:44:17.800



a mental body in a cause or body, and you know,67500:44:18.760 --> 00:44:22.719



different models go to different numbers of bodies, but they67600:44:22.760 --> 00:44:27.559



get usually around seven different bodies, whereas in New Age67700:44:27.639 --> 00:44:31.159



literature it's sort of been refined down to maybe three,67800:44:32.840 --> 00:44:34.920



predominantly the etheric and the astral.67900:44:36.840 --> 00:44:38.639



But yeah, it's kind of.68000:44:40.360 --> 00:44:44.760



I think it's an outdated model now. I think we've68100:44:44.800 --> 00:44:49.159



got a much more exciting way to look at it68200:44:49.199 --> 00:44:53.760



now because we were looking at these ideas around extended consciousness,68300:44:53.760 --> 00:44:59.159



expanded consciousness and that, you know, these ideas of models68400:44:59.639 --> 00:45:04.079



body just sort of limit how we can understand and68500:45:04.159 --> 00:45:05.280



explore the experience.68600:45:05.360 --> 00:45:05.719



I think.68700:45:06.559 --> 00:45:15.199



Okay, now, have your experiences kind of said anything to68800:45:15.239 --> 00:45:18.199



you about life after death, like solidifying that there is68900:45:18.280 --> 00:45:21.440



something outside of this physical experience?69000:45:23.679 --> 00:45:26.039



I think so, yeah, I think.69100:45:27.719 --> 00:45:30.480



I think at the very least there's some form of69200:45:30.559 --> 00:45:34.039



continuation of consciousness seems to be the case, when you know,69300:45:34.320 --> 00:45:40.760



from my own shared the experience through to reincarnation memories69400:45:40.800 --> 00:45:45.199



in children, but also in my own experiences encounters with69500:45:45.480 --> 00:45:51.199



what seemed to be spirits or consciousnesses that have passed on,69600:45:53.760 --> 00:45:59.119



perceiving different environments that seem to be consistent with an afterlife,69700:45:59.239 --> 00:46:02.159



like this sort of summer lands that are talked about69800:46:02.679 --> 00:46:06.559



in quite a few different context different traditions and things.69900:46:07.360 --> 00:46:10.079



I've experienced those kinds of environments that seem to be70000:46:10.199 --> 00:46:17.079



some kind of consensus reality where many people's perceptions have70100:46:17.199 --> 00:46:19.719



sort of fed into it and it's created a sort70200:46:19.719 --> 00:46:24.480



of almost like an artificial idealized Earth in a way.70300:46:26.039 --> 00:46:28.840



That kind of thing seems to have a sort of70400:46:28.840 --> 00:46:33.840



objectivity to it. But again it's once you get the70500:46:33.960 --> 00:46:36.639



sort of further you go into those levels, the harder70600:46:36.679 --> 00:46:40.440



it is to remain objective and to kind of really70700:46:40.800 --> 00:46:43.880



know for sure. But I would say that the evidence70800:46:43.920 --> 00:46:48.840



definitely leans heavily in that direction from multiple sources, so70900:46:49.360 --> 00:46:52.559



from out body experiences, from near DIIF experiences, from shared71000:46:52.599 --> 00:46:57.519



IF experiences, from past life memories and children, you know,71100:46:57.719 --> 00:47:02.119



mediumship research like the research of Julie Bishare at the71200:47:02.159 --> 00:47:07.000



Wingdbridge Institute, you know, different things like that, it all71300:47:07.039 --> 00:47:11.280



converges together to all point towards some kind of continuation,71400:47:11.400 --> 00:47:16.199



and also apparitions and things like that. I saw the71500:47:16.239 --> 00:47:19.400



first sort of paranormal experience that ever happened to me71600:47:19.599 --> 00:47:25.039



was perceiving an apparition when I was about five, standing71700:47:25.079 --> 00:47:28.800



in the doorway of the Tower Block apartment block that71800:47:28.840 --> 00:47:35.119



I grew up in, and you know, that in itself,71900:47:35.199 --> 00:47:39.199



I think opened me up to the possibility that there72000:47:39.280 --> 00:47:43.400



was more going on. And then I've had other I guess,72100:47:43.480 --> 00:47:47.639



ghost stroke, apparition, whatever you want to call it type72200:47:47.679 --> 00:47:51.719



experiences since then, including when I lived in Tallinn, which72300:47:51.800 --> 00:47:56.119



is very historical place, very medieval. I lived in the72400:47:56.159 --> 00:47:58.599



old town of Talinn for ten years, so it was72500:47:58.639 --> 00:48:03.159



a very you know, full of history. One of the72600:48:03.199 --> 00:48:08.239



streets that I lived on, mariva Hare Street is essentially72700:48:09.039 --> 00:48:12.360



known to have what they call an energy pillar, which72800:48:12.440 --> 00:48:16.599



is sort of I guess, something akin to a kind72900:48:16.639 --> 00:48:21.119



of lay line or Earth energy line, that kind of idea.73000:48:22.440 --> 00:48:25.280



But so that was on the street that I lived on,73100:48:25.760 --> 00:48:31.239



and there was also kind of different ideas about presences73200:48:31.280 --> 00:48:35.440



and entities and things like that that people had perceived73300:48:35.480 --> 00:48:39.000



over the years in that kind of area, and I73400:48:39.039 --> 00:48:41.440



saw the I saw the apparition of a young woman73500:48:42.480 --> 00:48:45.840



in that in that house when I lived there.73600:48:47.960 --> 00:48:49.559



One possibility also when I.73700:48:49.519 --> 00:48:54.119



Lived in in Brighton, on the coast in England. I73800:48:54.280 --> 00:49:02.239



also perceive a these sort of shadow figures, uh on73900:49:02.320 --> 00:49:06.280



several occasions, and my partner at the time also perceived74000:49:06.480 --> 00:49:10.360



them in that in that house, and we did find74100:49:10.400 --> 00:49:15.719



that possibly there there was a family that potentially died.74200:49:15.800 --> 00:49:18.920



And I say family because it's kind of important because74300:49:19.039 --> 00:49:23.400



it seemed to be adults to maybe two adults and74400:49:23.440 --> 00:49:27.199



then two children, because there was sort of two small74500:49:27.719 --> 00:49:32.880



different Yeah, yeah, in the shadow figures. And one night74600:49:32.920 --> 00:49:35.639



I woke up and I literally sat up in my74700:49:35.679 --> 00:49:38.280



bed out of nowhere, just woke up, sat straight up,74800:49:38.719 --> 00:49:41.480



looked at the doorway, and I saw these two figures,74900:49:41.880 --> 00:49:44.599



you know, and they sort of drifted out of the doorway.75000:49:46.840 --> 00:49:50.039



So so, yeah, so I've had I've had experiences like75100:49:50.079 --> 00:49:52.079



that as well that also feed.75200:49:51.880 --> 00:49:53.559



Into the whole area.75300:49:54.679 --> 00:49:56.800



I wrote about all of that in my first book,75400:49:56.880 --> 00:50:00.360



Navigating the Hour Body Experience. Sorry that's my second, but75500:50:00.440 --> 00:50:02.760



the first book, Avenues of the Human Spirit, I wrote75600:50:02.800 --> 00:50:05.119



about those kinds of experiences.75700:50:05.639 --> 00:50:12.320



Yeah, okay, Now, is there anything that you still don't75800:50:12.360 --> 00:50:16.000



have answers for when it comes to this work.75900:50:16.679 --> 00:50:18.880



I think there's there's lots of things we don't have76000:50:19.000 --> 00:50:21.239



answers for and I you know, I don't think anyone76100:50:21.320 --> 00:50:26.239



has answers for I mean, I think what I've probably76200:50:27.360 --> 00:50:29.679



what I what I'm most confident about and want have76300:50:29.760 --> 00:50:33.159



developed the most knowledge of in the sense that we76400:50:33.239 --> 00:50:36.880



can be confident of it is the techniques and the76500:50:36.920 --> 00:50:42.000



methodologies and how to sort of induce the experiences. In76600:50:42.079 --> 00:50:45.840



terms of what exactly the experience is, that's a lot76700:50:45.920 --> 00:50:50.960



more tricky to understand because there's different levels to it76800:50:51.000 --> 00:50:53.559



as well. Because even if we define in that boody experience,76900:50:53.679 --> 00:50:56.960



there's what it feels like to the individual, what it77000:50:57.000 --> 00:50:59.719



feels like to me when I have that experience, that's77100:50:59.760 --> 00:51:03.039



one level. Then there's also what might actually be going77200:51:03.079 --> 00:51:06.159



on in more of a scientific sense. That's a completely77300:51:06.239 --> 00:51:09.880



different level. Because the two don't really match up. They77400:51:09.920 --> 00:51:13.880



seem to have a they seem to be quite distinct.77500:51:14.519 --> 00:51:17.679



So it seems it seems like we're dealing with a77600:51:17.840 --> 00:51:25.199



partly psychological construct type experience and then a partly something77700:51:25.920 --> 00:51:30.760



non physical, something beyond the brain, something that's sort of77800:51:30.800 --> 00:51:33.840



to do with the extended mind, or maybe quantum mechanics,77900:51:33.840 --> 00:51:37.239



something like that. There's various scientists who put forward that78000:51:37.320 --> 00:51:41.679



idea like so Roger Penrose or Brian Josephson who won78100:51:41.719 --> 00:51:46.039



the Nobel Prize for physics, he thinks psychic abilities are78200:51:46.119 --> 00:51:49.119



probably to do with entanglements. So that's kind of the78300:51:49.159 --> 00:51:52.679



most popular idea for how it might all be working.78400:51:53.039 --> 00:51:57.159



But we don't really know. So there's a lot there's78500:51:57.199 --> 00:52:00.960



a lot still unknown about the experience. But yeah, the78600:52:01.000 --> 00:52:05.400



things we can be confident about are we understand the78700:52:05.480 --> 00:52:12.280



mechanisms for inducing the experience quite well. Now, we understand78800:52:13.000 --> 00:52:18.159



maybe the limits of what's possible within the experience, at78900:52:18.280 --> 00:52:22.360



least in terms of scientific research. You know, we know,79000:52:23.199 --> 00:52:27.760



we know kind of how how powerful the experience can be,79100:52:28.159 --> 00:52:31.840



and we know like what can't really be done or79200:52:31.880 --> 00:52:34.519



at least has never been demonstrated so far, so if79300:52:34.559 --> 00:52:36.400



it can be done, it's very very rare.79400:52:37.679 --> 00:52:38.920



So that kind of things.79500:52:39.079 --> 00:52:45.199



So yeah, okay, now, is what is your hope that79600:52:45.280 --> 00:52:48.440



people take away from your work?79700:52:49.800 --> 00:52:52.599



I think I want, you know, ultimately, I want them79800:52:52.639 --> 00:52:56.599



to have their own experiences. You know, I think I79900:52:57.360 --> 00:53:00.159



don't want it to be about me primarily. I mean,80000:53:00.639 --> 00:53:05.199



I've seen my experiences and sharing what what what I've done,80100:53:05.280 --> 00:53:08.280



and you know, by doing the scientific experiments and things80200:53:08.400 --> 00:53:12.440



like that. I hope that it gives people more of80300:53:12.480 --> 00:53:18.559



a sense of confidence that these things are possible, because80400:53:18.559 --> 00:53:21.039



obviously there's a lot of people who are just saying, oh, yeah,80500:53:21.079 --> 00:53:22.920



I go to all these different levels and I do80600:53:22.960 --> 00:53:26.760



all this stuff that they're not offering any witness cases.80700:53:26.880 --> 00:53:30.199



They're not offering any you know, science that they've done80800:53:30.239 --> 00:53:33.840



with any actual researchers or anything like that. So it's80900:53:34.079 --> 00:53:37.559



just you don't know whether this is just sort of81000:53:37.679 --> 00:53:40.599



all all in their mind. They're not they're not sort81100:53:40.599 --> 00:53:44.320



of trying to test any of that or prove any81200:53:44.360 --> 00:53:49.639



of that in any kind of genuine way. So I81300:53:49.679 --> 00:53:52.800



hope that my work brings in a bit more of81400:53:52.840 --> 00:53:56.559



that rationality, and for the people who do have maybe81500:53:56.559 --> 00:54:01.679



a little bit more skeptical minds, maybe my work kind81600:54:01.760 --> 00:54:05.800



of appeals to those people a bit more and they81700:54:05.800 --> 00:54:07.679



can be a bit more sort of confident in that.81800:54:08.119 --> 00:54:11.079



But ultimately, I want people to have their own experiences.81900:54:11.159 --> 00:54:12.840



I don't want it to be about me. I want82000:54:12.880 --> 00:54:16.559



it to be about my work can open the door82100:54:16.800 --> 00:54:20.400



to allow other people to have their own experiences.82200:54:20.480 --> 00:54:21.559



So that's with the.82300:54:22.039 --> 00:54:24.679



Second book, the first book I wrote, Having News of82400:54:24.679 --> 00:54:27.440



the Human spirit is kind of my journey. It's like82500:54:27.840 --> 00:54:31.519



the experiences I've had, It's the things I've perceived. It's82600:54:31.559 --> 00:54:35.400



sort of and there's maybe the spiritual insights that those82700:54:35.480 --> 00:54:39.519



experiences have given me. The second book, Navigating the Hotboody Experience,82800:54:39.880 --> 00:54:43.599



is more like how to do it? And you know how,82900:54:44.320 --> 00:54:47.199



you know what I've learned over the years in terms83000:54:47.239 --> 00:54:50.159



of mechanisms, And I've just updated that book just you know,83100:54:50.199 --> 00:54:53.679



a few months ago. So it first came out in83200:54:53.719 --> 00:54:56.920



twenty twelve, and now I've done a complete, revised, updated83300:54:57.519 --> 00:55:03.400



version now, you know. And then creating the technologies, like83400:55:03.440 --> 00:55:09.039



I've worked with virtual reality, immersive installations. That's another side83500:55:09.039 --> 00:55:12.920



of my work. Before I started teaching and writing books83600:55:12.920 --> 00:55:15.800



and things like that, I was a professional artist and83700:55:15.880 --> 00:55:19.320



I was creating these environments that were designed to give83800:55:19.400 --> 00:55:22.599



people their own experiences. So the first version of my83900:55:22.639 --> 00:55:26.960



own Preliminal Sound was developed as part of those environments.84000:55:27.039 --> 00:55:31.079



So I created a structure, for example, that lifted people84100:55:31.119 --> 00:55:33.480



off of the ground and they could get inside the84200:55:33.519 --> 00:55:36.400



structure and then the sound would play and it would84300:55:36.480 --> 00:55:39.039



kind of take them into a trance and the feeling84400:55:39.079 --> 00:55:41.440



of being off the ground would almost be like being84500:55:41.480 --> 00:55:44.400



in a flotation tank or something like that, so they84600:55:44.400 --> 00:55:47.000



could get close to the feeling of what it would84700:55:47.000 --> 00:55:49.239



be like being out of body, and it helped to84800:55:49.280 --> 00:55:54.519



get them to an outbody experience, or at least into84900:55:54.559 --> 00:55:59.320



the vibrational state and that kind of thing. So yeah,85000:55:59.760 --> 00:56:02.000



it's it's all a lot of my work, and that85100:56:02.119 --> 00:56:04.679



started sort of in the nineties. I started doing that85200:56:04.800 --> 00:56:09.320



kind of project, so it's sort of my work for decades.85300:56:09.360 --> 00:56:13.719



There's really been about facilitating and developing ways to allow85400:56:13.880 --> 00:56:17.400



people to have those experiences and to sort of teach85500:56:17.480 --> 00:56:20.239



them the most effective ways to do that.85600:56:22.559 --> 00:56:24.239



All right, well, it is about the time to let85700:56:24.320 --> 00:56:26.280



you your so I'll give them to you and tell85800:56:26.280 --> 00:56:28.239



everybody where they can find you and find your work.85900:56:29.840 --> 00:56:36.679



Okay, Well, go to Graham Nichols dot com. Graham Nichols86000:56:36.840 --> 00:56:40.280



is two l's in Nichols and on there you can86100:56:40.320 --> 00:56:45.079



get the infraliminal recordings, you can get the links to86200:56:45.119 --> 00:56:49.920



my books. They're on Amazon, sort of the usual scenario,86300:56:51.000 --> 00:56:55.000



and there's also an online course that people can download86400:56:55.199 --> 00:56:57.280



that goes into all of this. And I also do86500:56:57.400 --> 00:57:01.639



private tuition if people are in sted in learning directly86600:57:01.679 --> 00:57:04.519



from me. So all of the information on that is86700:57:04.559 --> 00:57:07.159



all on my website, gram nicoles dot com.86800:57:07.880 --> 00:57:09.719



All right, Graham, thank you so much for being on86900:57:09.800 --> 00:57:10.719



Paratruth to be Born.87000:57:11.480 --> 00:57:13.079



You're very welcome. It's been good.87100:57:13.719 --> 00:57:16.239



All right, folks. That is it for us this week.87200:57:17.239 --> 00:57:19.639



There's always more to the story when it comes to87300:57:19.960 --> 00:57:23.400



Paratruth Be be Born. Until next week, folks, where you'll find us,87400:57:23.800 --> 00:57:27.639



same time, same channel. My name is Justin. I'll talk87500:57:27.639 --> 00:57:28.239



to you guys later
