This book takes the reader on a fantastic journey through a wide range of cultures and traditions to examine the phenomenon of ecstatic visionary experiences.
From the Sumerian Gilgamesh and the Taoist Immortals to the imaginative fiction of Jorge Luis Borges, the author provides a comprehensive tour of otherworldly journeys common from immemorial times among shamans, magicians, and witches, and illustrates their connection with such modern phenomena as altered states of consciousness, out-of-body experiences, and near-death experiences.

Gives evidence for the existence of the soul from studies of consciousness; scientific theory by Schrodinger, Godel and Einstein; Quantum physics of Margenau and Bohm;and the synthesis of these in God.
Includes short piece on human animal communication as evidenced by shamanic practice.
An alternative view of human consciousness, a theory of mind and being independent of matter, time, and space.
As a physician, Dossey has often confronted events and miraculous cures in his patients that cannot be explained by conventional science.
Drawing from the latest research, Dr. Dossey synthesizes the ideas of eminent scientists such as Schr dinger, Einstein, G del, and Margenau, with the time-honored knowledge of visionaries and mystics to present convincing evidence for a nonlocal, holistic view of mind and reality that can explain transcendental experiences.
In short, he provides new proof of the existence of the soul.

Krishnamurti's Journal was published in 1982 and has been one of his most popular books.
When he wished to continue with it he found that the act of writing tired him (he was eighty-seven) and it was suggested, that he should dictate into a tape-recorder.
All except one of the dictations in this volume were recorded from his home, Pine Cottage in the Ojai Valley, California, wehere he would dictate in the mornings, while in bed after breakfast, undisturbed.
The reader gets very close to Krishnamurti in these pieces, almost into his very consciousness. The gist of his teachings is here, and the descriptions of nature with which he begins most of the pieces may for many, who regard him as a poet as well as a philosopher, quieten their whole being so that they become intuitively responsive to what follows.
Strangely, the final piece, and perhaps the most beautiful, is about death, and is the last occasion on which we shall ever hear Krishnamurti discoursing to himself.
Two years later he died in this same bedroom at Pine Cottage.
