In this book, we will consider a range of evidence that shows that our consciousness does not always reside in our physical body. What does science have to say about our consciousness? What experiments have been done which show that our consciousness extends beyond or even exists outside our physical body?

We will look at the testimony of people who have had near-death experiences and we will consider their meaning. Have some people experienced "a life before life" - about which they can recall specific, verifiable details? What do religions have to say about such experiences? Why is the use of psychedelics frowned upon and even suppressed and criminalised in Western Cultures? Have off-world beings or entities communicated with some people in an effort to show them the true nature of our being, our consciousness?

Looking at the research of people such as Dr Rick Strassman, Graham Hancock, Anthony Peake and Dr Gary Schwartz, this book attempts to draw together diverse threads in an effort to find common ground between science, religion, mysticism and spirituality. It is hoped that the exploration of aspects of human consciousness discussed in this book will encourage the reader to expand their view of what reality is and begin or continue their "spiritual journey."

The book is over 300 pages and contains over 500 references.
