Projections of the Consciousness

Projections of the Consciousness by Waldo Vieira. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781934079508.

Projection allows one to replace belief with knowledge. To believe in the accounts is secondary. What is important is to accept the possibility of extraphysical events. Ideally the interested person should have his or her own experiences. With candid realism, Projections of the Consciousness recounts 60 of the authors most illuminating out-of-body experiences (OBEs, astral projections) from a six-month period in 1979. The unparalleled diversity and richness of the experiences in this volume offer a rare insight into what awaits us beyond the physical dimension. Vieiras experiences include visits to non-physical educational communities, assistance to those who have recently passed away, encounters with highly evolved consciousnesses, and even a total expansion of consciousness (cosmoconsciousness, nirvana). The authors sincerity and objectivity stand out as hallmarks of this book, as does the quality of his analysis and conclusions. Each chapter is packed with invaluable tips, insights, and recommendations that will help motivated readers produce lucid, controlled experiences: indeed this is one of the books core objectives. Now in its third edition in English and its seventh in the original Portuguese, this work remains as important today as it was when first published, and is one of the classics in the genre. The books initial publication marked a new phase in the life of the author, during which he launched two new fields to investigate consciousness beyond the physicalist worldview: projectiology and conscientiology. As a testament to the books significance, today fourteen organizations exist globally whose purpose is centered on deepening humanitys understanding and application of those two new fields. This edition features a complete revision of the translation and a new foreword by Wagner Alegretti, author of Retrocognitions. It also includes a full glossary of technical terms, to help interested readers initiate a more serious, scientific study of the subject.
