意識、臨死体験、そしてDMT：アンソニー・ピークの理論に関するブリーフィング​

AI

エグゼクティブ・サマリー​

本ブリーフィングは、作家であり研究者であるアンソニー・ピークが提唱する、意識、死、そして現実の性質に関する包括的な理論を要約するものである。ピークの中心的な主張は、人間の意識は脳という物質的な構造物に限定されるものではなく、特に死の瞬間や変性意識状態において、別の並行現実にアクセスする能力を持つというものである。このプロセスは、松果体と内因性ジメチルトリプタミン（DMT）が中心的な役割を果たす、脳内の量子的メカニズムによって促進されると彼は論じる。

ピークは、臨死体験（NDE）、体外離脱体験（OBE）、デジャヴといった「異常」とされる現象を、自身の理論を裏付ける重要な証拠として位置づけている。彼の「フェリーマンを欺く（Cheating the Ferryman）」仮説によれば、デジャヴは文字通り「以前にこの人生を生きたことがある」記憶であり、死の際に意識は自らが作り出したホログラフィックな現実（Bohmian IMAX）に再突入するという。このプロセスを記憶し、我々を導くのが「デーモン」と呼ばれる、脳の非利き手半球に宿る「隠れたパートナー」である。

ピークの理論は、神経科学、量子物理学、古代の神秘主義的伝統を統合しようと試みる。彼は、脳内の微小管がバイオフォトン（生体光子）を用いてホログラフィックなイメージを生成し、その情報はゼロポイント・フィールドとして知られる量子の真空から引き出されると提唱する。このプロセスの鍵を握るのが松果体であり、DMTを生成・放出する「無限へのゲートウェイ」として機能するという。

ピークは、現代科学が意識の「ハードプロブレム」を解決できずに行き詰まっていると批判し、科学と精神性が協力して現実を理解する新たなパラダイムを提唱する。彼の研究は、個人的な体験、歴史的証拠、そしてルシア・ライト・デバイスのような先進技術による実証的観察に基づいており、意識の謎を解明するための学際的なアプローチの重要性を強調している。

1. 中核理論：「フェリーマンを欺く」仮説​

アンソニー・ピークの思想の根幹をなすのは、彼が「フェリーマンを欺く（Cheating the Ferryman）」と呼ぶ仮説である。これは、死の瞬間に人間の意識に何が起こるかについての科学的かつ哲学的なモデルを提示するものである。

  • Bohmian IMAX: この仮説によれば、死の瞬間に意識は「Bohmian IMAX」と呼ばれる、コンピュータプログラムのような三次元の現実創造システムに突入する。これは、意識が自己の経験を再体験するループ構造を示唆している。
  • デジャヴ（既視感）: ピークは、デジャヴ（正確にはdéjà vécu、既体験）を、この人生を以前にも生きたことがある直接的な証拠と見なす。「あなたがそれを以前に生きたことがあるからです。単純明快です。それ以外の理由はありません」。
  • デーモン（Daemon）: 各個人には「デーモン」と呼ばれる「隠れたパートナー」が存在するとピークは主張する。
    • 役割: この存在は脳の非利き手半球に宿り、人生が以前に繰り返されたことを記憶している。そのため、差し迫った危険を予知し、直感や「内なる声」を通じて警告を発することができる。
    • 臨死体験との関連: 臨死体験中に遭遇すると報告される「光の存在」は、実際にはこのデーモンであるとピークは考えている。

2. 意識の現出：臨死体験、体外離脱、明晰夢​

ピークは、臨死体験（NDE）、体外離脱体験（OBE）、遠隔透視（リモートビューイング）、明晰夢といった様々な現象を、意識が物理的現実を超えてアクセスできる領域の証拠として探求している。

  • 現象の共通性: これらの体験は文化を超えて一貫して報告されており、単なる幻覚として片付けるのは非科学的であると彼は主張する。
  • 「ファクシミリ（模写）現実」: これらの変性意識状態で経験される世界は、我々の物理的世界そのものではなく、それに酷似しているが微妙に異なる「ファクシミリ」または「並行次元」である可能性が高い。
    • 証拠: 著名な遠隔透視者インゴ・スワンの報告は「決して完全に正確ではない」。ロバート・モンローの体外離脱による友人の家の透視は「約40%正確」であったが、カーペットやカーテンの色が異なっていた。
    • ウィリアム・ブルマンの引用: 著名な体外離脱体験者であるウィリアム・ブルマンは次のように結論付けている。「我々は物理的世界を異なる視点から観察しているのではなく…分離しているが並行するエネルギー次元と相互作用しているのです」。

3. 脳の役割：量子的ホログラム・プロジェクター​

ピークは、これらの体験が脳内の複雑な量子的プロセスに起因すると考え、そのメカニズムを次のように説明する。

  • 微小管とバイオフォトン: 脳内の各ニューロンには数十億の微小管が存在する。これらの微小管はチューブリンと呼ばれる構造から成り、バイオフォトン（生体光子）という単一光子光を放出する。
  • ホログラム生成: 異なる方向から来る光波が干渉パターンを作り出すように、微小管内で放出されるバイオフォトンが干渉し、ホログラフィックなイメージを生成する可能性がある。脳は本質的に、ホログラムを生成・処理する巨大なシステムである。
  • 微小細管格子網: 微小管の内部には、光ファイバーに似た「微小細管格子網」と呼ばれる網目状の構造が存在する。これは、脳が光、すなわち電磁エネルギーの巨大なプロセッサーであることを示唆している。

4. 情報の源泉：ゼロポイント・フィールド​

夢や幻視で知覚される「内なる光」の源泉について、ピークは量子物理学の概念を用いて説明する。

  • ゼロポイント・フィールド（量子の真空）: この光は、絶対零度（エネルギーが存在しないはずの温度）付近でも観測される謎のエネルギー源「ゼロポイント・フィールド」から引き出されていると彼は提唱する。
  • 量子的現象: このフィールド内では、以下のような特異な現象が起きている。
    • ボース＝アインシュタイン凝縮: 多数の素粒子が単一の量子状態として振る舞い、ミクロな量子効果がマクロな世界に影響を与えることを可能にする。
    • ミニ・ブラックホール: スティーヴン・ホーキングが提唱したように、亜原子空間は無数のミニ・ブラックホールで満ちている可能性がある。
    • アインシュタイン＝ローゼンブリッジ: これらのブラックホールは、時空にワームホールを開くアインシュタイン＝ローゼンブリッジとして機能し、脳内の微小管構造内で光や情報が別次元から引き出される通路となっている可能性がある。

5. 松果体：無限へのゲートウェイ​

ピークの理論において、松果体はこれらの量子的プロセスと意識体験を結びつける中心的な器官として極めて重要な役割を担う。

  • 独自性: 脳内で唯一、対になっていない器官であり、その機能は現代科学でも完全には解明されていない。
  • 歴史的・象徴的重要性: 古代から「第三の目」として知られ、バチカンやアンコール・ワットの巨大な松ぼっくりのシンボルなど、世界中の文化で象徴的に扱われてきた。
  • 生物学的特徴:
    • 圧電性結晶: 「脳砂」と呼ばれる微細な結晶を含み、これらは圧電性（ピエゾ効果）を持つため、電磁放射に敏感である。これにより、松果体は光や情報を処理する受信機として機能する可能性がある。
    • 発生学的関連: 胎生49日目に、喉の奥から脳の中心へと移動する。仏教では、魂が身体に宿るのは胎生49日目とされており、強い相関関係が見られる。
    • 神の蜜（Divine Nectar）: 深い瞑想状態にある者が喉の奥に感じる酸味のある液体は、松果体が移動した際に残された管から滴り落ちるDMTである可能性がある。
  1. DMTとルシア・ライト・デバイス

ピークは、内因性の幻覚剤であるジメチルトリプタミン（DMT）が、松果体を介してこれらの並行現実への扉を開く化学的な鍵であると結論付けている。

  • DMTの特性:
    • 人体内で自然に生成される、既知の限り最も強力な幻覚剤。
    • DMTによる体験は、被験者間で一貫性があり、共有される（コンセンサスがある）。体験者は一様に「この現実よりもリアルだ」と報告する。
    • UFOによる誘拐（アブダクション）体験の報告と酷似している。
  • ルシア・ライト・デバイス:
    • 神経科医と心理学者によって開発された、明滅する光を用いて変性意識状態を誘発する装置。
    • ピーク自身の体験: この装置を試した際、彼は典型的な臨死体験（トンネル効果、浮遊感）を経験し、最終的には「アストラル界」と呼ばれる惑星規模のグリッド状の光景を目撃した。
    • チベット僧の体験: チベットの夢ヨーガの修行僧がこの装置を使用したところ、通常は何年もの修行を要する曼荼羅の幻視をわずか3分で体験した。
  • DMTとDNA: ピークは、DMT体験中に頻繁に現れる蛇のシンボル（特に双子の蛇）は、DNAの二重螺旋構造やクンダリーニの上昇を象徴していると考える。彼は「DNAがDMTを通じて我々とコミュニケーションを取ろうとしている」という仮説を立てている。その証拠として、南米のシャーマンが5万種以上の植物の中から、DMTを含む植物と、その経口摂取を可能にするMAO阻害剤を含む植物を正確に組み合わせたアヤワスカを発見した逸話を挙げる。その方法を尋ねられたシャーマンは「植物が教えてくれた。蛇が教えてくれた」と答えたという。

7. 結論：科学と精神性の統合​

ピークは、自身の研究が現代科学の限界を乗り越えるための道筋を示すものだと考えている。

  • 現代科学の行き詰まり: 物質主義的・還元主義的な科学は「袋小路」に陥っており、意識がどのようにして非生命的な物質から生じるのかという「ハードプロブレム」を説明できない。
  • 新たなパラダイム: 科学と精神性は敵対するものではなく、協力して「なぜ我々はここにいるのか」という根本的な問いに答えを見出すべきである。
  • 共同プロジェクト: 彼の理論は完成された教義ではなく、世界中の読者や研究者との対話を通じて発展させていく共同プロジェクトであると強調している。「我々は皆、同じものを見つけようとしているのです。それは、なぜ我々がここにいるのかを理解することです」。

Bohmian IMAX : 市の瞬間に突入する３次元現実想像プログラム​

AI

Anthony Peake氏の最初の著書であるIs There Life After Death? The Extraordinary Science of What Happens When You Die (2006年出版) のより大きな文脈において、「Bohmian IMAX: 死の瞬間に突入する三次元現実創造プログラム」は、‌‌臨死体験（NDE）‌‌と‌‌デジャヴュ‌‌という二つの現象を説明するための氏の広範な仮説の核心をなす概念です。

1. Bohmian IMAXの定義と位置づけ​

Bohmian IMAXは、Peake氏が提唱する「万物のボーミアンIMAX大統一理論（Bohmian IMAX grand theory of everything）」の一部です。

  • Bohmian IMAXは、「より良い言葉がないため」‌‌死の瞬間に私たちが突入する‌‌、‌‌三次元現実創造のコンピュータープログラム‌‌として定義されています。
  • この概念は、人間が死の瞬間に意識に何が起こるかについてのPeake氏の哲学と科学を提示するものです。

2. 「フェリーマンを欺く」（Cheating the Ferryman）仮説との関連​

Is There Life After Death? の中で、Peake氏はこの哲学を「フェリーマンを欺く（cheating the ferryman）」と呼んでいます。 この仮説は、デジャヴュ（または技術的には「すでに生きた」を意味するdéjà vécu）の現象を説明するために導入されました。

  • この仮説の中心的な考えは、デジャヴュの感覚、つまりある場所を認識したり、ある経験を認識したりする現象は、‌‌その人生を以前に生きたことがある‌‌からである、というものです。
  • Peake氏は、デジャヴュの感覚は「まさに感じた通りである」と主張します。つまり、あなたはそれを以前に生きたのです。
  • この「人生を以前に生きた」という考えは、人生がまるで「映画を観ている」かのように、あらかじめプログラムされた形で存在している可能性を示唆しており、これはBohmian IMAXが「三次元現実創造プログラム」であるという定義と一致します。

3. 書籍の目的​

Peake氏がこのBohmian IMAXの概念を提示したIs There Life After Death? は、以下の目的で執筆されました。

  1. ‌‌臨死体験（NDE）の理解:‌‌ NDEを、神経学的、科学的、そして経験的な視点の両方から理解しようとする試みでした。氏は、人々が繰り返し報告し、文化を超えて一貫性のあるこの現象は、現代科学が無視すべきではない非科学的なものであり、科学は現実を理解するためにあらゆる角度から追及すべきだと主張しています。
  2. ‌‌意識と現実のモデル提示:‌‌ この本は、人間の意識が死の瞬間にどうなるかについての哲学と科学を提示するために書かれました。

Peake氏の研究に関心を持つ人々の間では、この本は通称It Ladとして知られており、Bohmian IMAXに関するさらなる詳細を知りたい場合は、この本を確認することが推奨されています。Bohmian IMAXは、後の著作でさらに掘り下げられる「デーモン」の概念（人生を前に生きたことを覚えている隠されたパートナー）の基盤となる考え方の一部でもあります。

OBE 研究者 : Waldo Vielra（ブラジル人）​

AI

幽体離脱（OBE）の研究と事例の文脈におけるワルド・ヴィエイラ（Waldo Vieira）について​

提供された情報源において、ブラジル人研究者であるワルド・ヴィエイラ（Waldo Vieira）は、‌‌幽体離脱（Out-of-Body源において、ブラジル人研究者であるワルド・ヴィエイラ（Waldo Vieira）は、‌‌幽体離脱（Out-of-Body Experience, OBE）を科学的に訓練し習得するための取り組み‌**‌に関連して言及されています。

1. ヴィエイラ氏の紹介と主な活動​

ワルド・ヴィエイラ氏は、英語圏ではあまり知られていませんが、‌‌OBEを訓練するための科学的な手法‌‌を提唱した人物として紹介されています。

  • ‌‌著書:‌‌ 彼の著書に『Projectology』（プロジェクトロジー）があり、これは‌‌人に幽体離脱の方法を訓練するための科学的な方法‌‌を提示しています。
  • ‌‌組織と教育:‌‌ ヴィエイラ氏の組織である‌‌国際意識アカデミー（The International Academy of Consciousness, IAC）‌‌は、ポルトガルに大学のキャンパスを所有しており、そこで人々が幽体離脱するための訓練を行っています。この施設には、‌‌プロジェクタリューム（projectarium）‌‌と呼ばれるものがあります。

2. OBEと現実の性質に関するヴィエイラの立場​

アンソニー・ピーク氏（Anthony Peake）は、ヴィエイラ氏の組織の関係者たちと交流があることを示唆しており、彼らの考え方から現実の性質に関する興味深い側面を引き出しています。

  • ‌‌模倣現実（Facsimile Idea）:‌‌ IACの関係者たちは、彼らが体験している現実（OBE中に移動する場所）は、私たちが住む‌‌この現実の「模倣」（facsimile）のようなものだ‌‌と信じている、という点がピーク氏の関心を引いています。

この「模倣」の概念は、ピーク氏が自身の研究で探求している、‌‌外部の現実が私たちが知覚する現実と「そっくりだが、全く同じではない」‌‌という他のOBEやリモートビューイングの事例と一致しています。

  • ‌‌ロバート・モンローとの比較:‌‌ ピーク氏は、著名なOBE研究者であるロバート・モンローの事例を挙げています。モンローが友人の家を夢見ながら訪れた際、約40％は正しかったものの、カーペットやカーテンの色など、細部が「この現実とは違う、しかし非常に近い現実」であったことが示されています。
  • ‌‌ウィリアム・ブルマンの見解との一致:‌‌ ピーク氏は、ウィリアム・ブルマン（世界的なOBEの専門家）の言葉を引用し、OBEで観察される環境は物理的な世界ではなく、「別個の並行するエネルギー次元」と相互作用しているとブルマンが理解したことを紹介しています。ブルマンは、非物理的な壁の色や家具の形状にわずかな違いがあったと述べており、これもまた「模倣現実」の概念と関連します。

このように、ワルド・ヴィエイラと彼の提唱する訓練システムは、OBE研究の文脈において、‌‌幽体離脱によってアクセスされる環境が、我々の知る現実とはわずかに異なる「並行現実」または「模倣現実」である‌‌という仮説を裏付ける事例の一つとして言及されています。

OBE 研究者 : William Bulman​

AI

OBE（幽体離脱体験）の研究者と事例のより大きな文脈において、ウィリアム・ブルマン（William Bulman）は、OBE（幽体離脱体験）の研究者と事例のより大きな文脈において、ウィリアム・ブルマン（William Bulman）は、‌‌アストラルトラベラー（Astral Traveller）‌‌として、OBE中に知覚される現実の性質に関するアンソニー・ピーク氏（Anthony Peake）の‌‌イントラマティック・モデル（intramatic model）‌‌を支持する重要な証言を提供するために引用されています。

1. ブルマン氏の立場と経験​

ブルマン氏は「世界で最も有名なアストラルトラベラーの一人」として紹介されており、ピーク氏自身も彼と連絡を取っていることが示唆されています。

ブルマン氏の核心的な証言は、‌‌OBE中に観察される環境が物理世界とは異なる‌‌という点に集約されます。

  • ‌‌現実知覚の誤解:‌‌ ブルマン氏は、当初、自分が観察している環境を‌‌物理世界‌‌であると想定していました。
  • ‌‌非物理的構造の認識:‌‌ しかし、彼は徐々に、体外に出ているときに通常観察する構造が‌‌非物理的な構造‌‌であることを理解するようになりました。

2. 「並行次元」の概念の提唱​

ブルマン氏の経験がピーク氏の理論にとって特に重要であるのは、彼が‌‌観察される環境における細部の不一致‌‌を指摘している点です。

  • ‌‌わずかな差異の存在:‌‌ ブルマン氏は、非物理的な家具やその他の物体と物理的な対応物との間に「わずかな差異（slight variations）」があることを認識しました。
    • 例として、非物理的な壁は物理的な壁と色が異なり、一部の家具や敷物の形やスタイルも異なっていました。
    • これらの違いは「軽微ではあるが、それにもかかわらず目につくもの」でした。
  • ‌‌並行次元との相互作用:‌‌ ブルマン氏は、OBEは多くの人が信じるように「異なる視点から物理世界を観察している」のではなく、‌‌「別個の並行するエネルギー次元（separate but parallel dimensions of energy）」と相互作用している‌‌と結論付けました。

3. ピーク氏の「模倣現実」仮説との整合性​

ブルマン氏の証言は、OBEやリモートビューイングの経験を説明しようとするピーク氏の議論の重要な柱となっています。

  • ‌‌イング・スワンやロバート・モンローとの比較:‌‌ ピーク氏は、著名なリモートビューアーであるイング・スワンも、彼が訪れる場所は「決して完全に正しくない」と述べている点、そしてロバート・モンローが友人の家を訪れた際に、約40％は正しかったものの、カーペットやカーテンの色が違っていた点 を引き合いに出しています。
  • ‌‌ファクシミリ（模倣）のアイデア:‌‌ これらの事例は、ブラジル人研究者ワルド・ヴィエイラ氏の組織（IAC）の関係者が、彼らがいる現実を「この現実の模倣（facsimile）」のようなものだと信じているという考えと一致します。

ウィリアム・ブルマン氏の「並行次元」の見解は、OBE中にアクセスされる環境が、我々の知る堅固な物理的現実ではなく、‌‌この現実と「非常に近いが、これではない現実」‌‌であり、‌‌脳内の構造（マイクロチュブールなど）‌‌ がゼロポイント場から情報を引き出し、別のレベルの現実とコミュニケーションしているという、ピーク氏のイントラマティック・モデルの根幹をなす理論的根拠を提供しています。

OBE 研究者 : Robert Monroe​

AI

OBE（幽体離脱体験）の研究者と事例のより大きな文脈において、実業家であった‌‌ロバート・モンロー（Robert Monroe）‌‌は、アンソニー・ピーク氏（Anthony Peake）の理論の検証に不可欠な‌‌「現実の性質」に関する具体的な Monroe）‌‌は、アンソニー・ピーク氏（Anthony Peake）の理論の検証に不可欠な‌‌「現実の性質」に関する具体的な事例‌‌を提供した人物として言及されています。

1. ロバート・モンローの紹介とOBEの始まり​

モンロー氏は、ピーク氏の著作でOBEに関する書籍を執筆した重要な人物の一人として紹介されています。

  • ‌‌経歴:‌‌ 彼はもともと‌‌実業家‌‌でしたが、40代後半になってから、体が外に浮き出るような‌‌非日常的な夢の連続‌‌を経験し始めました。
  • ‌‌初期の体験:‌‌ ある夜、モンロー氏はベッドから落ちたと思い、床を押そうとしました。その際、彼は床から浮き上がり、再び床に戻るという体験をしました。彼はそれが床ではなく天井であることに気づき、自分の周りを移動して、ベッドに横たわる自分自身と妻の姿を見ました。

2. 「模倣現実」の概念を裏付ける事例​

モンロー氏の体験がピーク氏の理論にとって最も重要であるのは、彼が体験した体外離脱先の現実が、‌‌この現実と「非常に近いが、完全に同じではない」‌‌という性質を示していた点です。これは、ピーク氏が提唱する‌‌イントラマティック・モデル（intramatic model）‌‌および‌‌「模倣現実（facsimile idea）」‌‌の仮説を支持するものです。

  • ‌‌別の現実の発見:‌‌ モンロー氏の体験は数回発生し、あるとき彼は天井の穴に気づき、そこを通過すると‌‌「代替現実（alternate reality）」‌‌に至りました。この代替現実で、彼は‌‌「イーサー（eiter）」‌‌と呼ぶ、自分自身の別のバージョンが存在しているのを見つけ、その別のバージョンの意識に入ることができました。
  • ‌‌検証可能な実験結果:‌‌ モンロー氏は、アメリカの超心理学者チャールズ・タート（Charles Tartt）の親友でした。タートがカリフォルニアに引っ越した後、モンロー氏は一度も訪れたことのないタートの家に、ある晩夢の中で自己を投影しようと試みました。
    • その結果、彼は家の様子を‌‌約40%は正しく‌‌言い当てることができました。
    • しかし、‌‌カーペットの色、カーテンの色、室内の人々の服装‌‌など、細部が異なっていました。
  • ‌‌結論:‌‌ この結果は、「まるで‌‌この現実であるかのようだが、そうではない‌‌。この現実と‌‌非常に近いが、この現実ではない‌‌」‌‌現実‌‌を体験していることを示しています。

このモンロー氏の事例は、OBE研究の文脈において、幽体離脱体験が単なる幻覚（hallucination）ではなく、物理世界とは異なるがそれに非常に酷似した‌‌「別個の並行するエネルギー次元（separate but parallel dimensions of energy）」‌‌と相互作用しているという考え方を裏付ける証拠として機能しています。この考え方は、他のOBE研究者（例えばウィリアム・ブルマン）の報告とも一致しています。

Lucid Light Device (Lucia)​

AI

提供された情報源は、‌‌松果体（Pineal Gland）‌‌と‌‌DMT（ジメチルトリプタミン）‌‌の広範な文脈において、‌‌Lucid Light Device (Lucia)‌‌が人間の意識状態と現実知覚に及ぼす影響について、アンソニー・ピーク氏（Anthony Peake）の個人的な体験と理論を通じて詳細に説明しています。

1. Lucid Light Device (Lucia) の概要と機能​

Lucid Light Device (Lucia) は、意識の変性状態を誘発するために設計された装置です。

  • ‌‌開発者:‌‌ 心理学者のエンゲルバート・ウィンクラー博士（Dr. Engelbert Winkler）と神経内科医のダーク・プロケル博士（Dr. Dirk Prokel）という‌‌二人のプロの科学者‌‌によって発明されました。
  • ‌‌機能:‌‌ 彼らは、‌‌フリッカー応答（flicker response）‌‌として知られる現象を自動的に生成する機械を作るために知識と経験を結集しました。フリッカー応答とは、点滅する光を見ると、意識の変性状態に入ることができるという考え方です。
  • ‌‌構成:‌‌ Luciaは、コンピュータープログラムに接続されており、利用者はその前に座って待ちます。

2. LuciaによるNDEの誘発とピーク氏の体験​

ピーク氏は、開発者の一人であるウィンクラー博士の招待でスイスを訪れ、この装置をテストしました。その結果、Luciaは‌‌古典的な臨死体験（NDE）の感覚‌‌を生成し始めたとされています。

  • ‌‌光の爆発とトンネル効果:‌‌ 装置の前に座って2〜3分後、ピーク氏は突然、右の視覚野に青い光の爆発を感じ、続いて赤い光の爆発が起こり、それらが合わさって‌‌トンネル効果‌‌を生じました。これは‌‌古典的な臨死体験‌‌で報告される感覚です。
  • ‌‌体外離脱の感覚:‌‌ 彼はまた、体が椅子から浮き上がり、手が離れていくような‌‌体外離脱の感覚‌‌を覚えました。
  • ‌‌シャーマニズム的なビジョン:‌‌ ピーク氏が目撃した最も驚くべき視覚体験は、まるで椅子が惑星の上空数マイルに浮いているかのような感覚と、‌‌「世界の線（lines of the world）」‌‌と呼ばれる、きらめく青い光の筋が流れるチャンネルでした。彼は後に、これがシャーマンによって語られるビジョンであることを知りました。オーストラリアのOBE指導者であるロバート・ブルース氏から、ピーク氏が‌‌アストラル界（astral plane）‌‌を見たのだと言われたとき、彼はこの体験の「ばかげている」側面に驚きながらも、見たものに確信を持ちました。

3. 松果体とDMTへの直接的な関連付け​

ピーク氏は、自身の体験から、Luciaが‌‌松果体を刺激‌‌し、それによって‌‌内在性のDMT（ジメチルトリプタミン）を放出させた‌‌と結論付けています。

  • ‌‌DMTの放出:‌‌ ピーク氏は、Luciaの光が‌‌松果体を刺激し、内因性（体内で生成される）のDMTを放出させた‌‌のだと信じています。
  • ‌‌DMTと幻覚:‌‌ DMTは、‌‌人間が知る中で最も強力な幻覚誘発薬‌‌であり、植物や血液、脳内で自然に生成されます。
  • ‌‌幻覚のリアリティ:‌‌ DMTを摂取した人々は‌‌「合意された夢」（consensual dreams）‌‌を共有し、その体験は一貫しており、訪れた場所が‌‌この現実よりもさらに現実的である‌‌と報告します。ピーク氏がLuciaで体験した強力でリアルなビジョンは、このDMTによって誘発された意識状態の特徴と一致します。
  • ‌‌松果体の役割:‌‌ 松果体は脳の中心に位置する唯一の複製されていない器官であり、現代科学ではその機能が完全には解明されていませんが、メラトニンを分泌することが知られています。しかし、歴史を通じて松果体は‌‌第三の目（third eye）‌‌として知られ、光を処理する能力を持つことが発見されています。ピーク氏は、‌‌松果体がこの光（電磁放射線に敏感な脳砂と呼ばれる結晶が含まれている）を処理している‌‌と考えています。

4. 訓練されたシャーマンへの効果​

LuciaのDMT誘発能力は、チベットの修行者に対するテストによって裏付けられました。

  • ‌‌チベットでの実験:‌‌ ピーク氏の協力者たちは、Luciaをチベットのラサに持ち込み、‌‌ドリームヨガ（夢ヨーガ）‌‌の伝統を持つボン教徒（Bon tradition、地域のシャーマニズムの伝統）に装置を使わせました。
  • ‌‌即時の効果:‌‌ これらの修行者は、通常は何年もの訓練を必要とするマンダラなどのビジョンを、Luciaの使用開始から‌‌3分以内‌‌に見始めました。これは、この装置が意識の変性状態を効率的に誘発する上で‌‌非常に重要な作用‌‌を持っていることを示唆しています。

したがって、Luciaは、外部の光のフリッカーを通じて松果体を刺激し、内因性のDMTを放出し、それによって‌‌体外離脱、トンネル効果、そして通常は高度な訓練や強力な幻覚剤によってのみアクセスされる別次元の現実（アストラル界や並行次元）の知覚‌‌を可能にする「松果体ポータル」を開く装置として位置づけられています。

アンソニー・ピーク氏の著書『The Out-of-Body Experience, the History and Science of Astral Travel』（幽体離脱体験、アストラルトラベルの歴史と科学）のより大きな文脈において、臨死体験（NDE）中の主要な体験（体外浮遊、光への移動、光の存在との遭遇）は、彼の提唱する‌‌イントラマティック・モデル（intramatic model）‌‌および‌‌「フェリーマンを欺く（cheating the ferryman）」‌‌仮説を検証し、意識の変性状態を科学的に説明するための中心的な要素として扱われています。

これらのソースは、これら3つのNDE体験について、それが単なる神経系の誤作動ではなく、脳の内部メカニズムによって生成される‌‌代替現実へのアクセス‌‌であるという視点を提供しています。

1. 体外浮遊 (Floating outside of their body)​

NDEで報告される体外浮遊の感覚は、肉体から離脱し、上空からの視点を持つOBEの核心的な特徴です。

  • ‌‌具体的な事例:‌‌ ピーク氏は、‌‌パム・レイノルズのケース‌‌のような有名な事例を引き合いに出し、脳機能が停止している状態でも体験が続いたという、体外浮遊が単なる幻覚ではない可能性を示す具体的なケースが存在することを指摘しています。
  • ‌‌現実知覚への問い:‌‌ 体外浮遊体験は、体験者が手術室の上や外科医の肩越しに物事を‌‌目撃した‌‌と主張することから、これらの体験が「本物の体験」なのか「幻覚」なのかという根本的な問いを投げかけます。
  • ‌‌並行次元との関連:‌‌ ピーク氏のイントラマティック・モデルの文脈では、この体外浮遊中に観察される環境は、物理世界そのものではなく、OBEの専門家であるウィリアム・ブルマン氏が提唱するように、「異なる視点から物理世界を観察している」のではなく、‌‌「別個の並行するエネルギー次元」と相互作用している‌‌可能性が示唆されています。これは、体験者が現実と「非常に近いが、これではない」‌‌模倣現実‌‌を認識しているという考え方と結びつきます。

2. 光への移動 (Moving towards a white light)​

白い光へと移動する感覚は、古典的なNDEにおいて繰り返し報告される特徴的な体験です。ピーク氏は、この現象を彼の‌‌松果体とDMT‌‌に関する理論を通じて、神経科学的に解釈しようと試みています。

  • ‌‌Lucid Light Device (Lucia) による誘発:‌‌ ピーク氏が自ら体験したところによると、Lucid Light Device（Lucia）は、‌‌青と赤の光の爆発‌‌を引き起こし、それが組み合わさって‌‌トンネル効果‌‌を生み出しました。このトンネル効果は、‌‌古典的な臨死体験の感覚‌‌を生成するものとして認識されています。
  • ‌‌DMTによる説明:‌‌ ピーク氏は、Luciaの光が‌‌松果体（Pineal Gland）を刺激‌‌し、‌‌内因性のジメチルトリプタミン（DMT）‌‌を放出させた結果、この光の現象と体外離脱の感覚が誘発されたと信じています。DMTは人間が知る中で最も強力な幻覚誘発薬であり、これを摂取した人々は、訪問した場所が「この場所よりもさらに現実的である」と述べる‌‌合意された夢（consensual dreams）‌‌を共有すると報告されています。
  • ‌‌光の知覚の起源:‌‌ 彼は、松果体が光を処理する能力（「第三の目」としての歴史的な役割や、電磁放射線に敏感な脳砂の存在）を持っていることから、この光は外部からではなく、脳内の微細管構造（マイクロチュブール）を通じて、‌‌ゼロポイント場（Zero Point Field）‌‌から引き上げられたものであるという仮説を立てています。

3. 光の存在との遭遇 (Encountering a being of light)​

NDE研究の多くで議論される光の存在との遭遇について、ピーク氏は自身の中心的な仮説である‌‌デーモン（Daemon）‌‌の概念と結びつけて説明しています。

  • ‌‌光の存在 = デーモン:‌‌ ピーク氏は、NDE研究で言及される「光の存在」は、実際には彼の理論における‌‌デーモン‌‌であると主張しています。
  • ‌‌デーモンの役割:‌‌ デーモンとは、私たちが人生を‌‌以前に生きたことがある‌‌という事実を覚えている、脳の非優位半球に存在する「隠されたパートナー」です。
  • ‌‌警告機能:‌‌ デーモンは、人生が「自身の人生の映画を観ている」かのように展開することを知っているため、危険が差し迫っていることを予知し、‌‌警告‌‌を発することができます。
  • ‌‌結論:‌‌ したがって、死の瞬間に遭遇する光の存在は、外部の神聖な存在ではなく、‌‌人生のすべての記憶と運命を知っている自己の拡張された側面‌‌、すなわち「デーモン」との再会であると解釈されます。これは、デジャヴュ現象（すでに生きたという感覚）を核とする「フェリーマンを欺く」仮説の中核をなす要素です。

デーモンはこれまでの人生を記憶している​

1. 「デーモン」の定義と居場所​

ピーク氏は、「デーモン」を、私たちの人生に存在する‌‌「隠されたパートナー（hidden partner）」‌‌であると定義しています。

  • ‌‌脳内の居場所:‌‌ ピーク氏は、デーモンは‌‌脳の非優位半球（non-dominant hemisphere of the brain）‌‌に存在すると考えています。
  • ‌‌機能:‌‌ デーモンは、私たちが感じる‌‌直感や警告‌‌の源であるとされます。聴衆のほとんどの人が、物事が「非常に正しい」または「非常に間違っている」という感覚や、危険が差し迫っているという‌‌予知的な感覚‌‌を持ったことがあるだろうと氏は述べています。例えば、車の衝突事故に関わった人々が、突然「ハンドルを切れ」という声を聞くといった現象も、デーモンによる警告であるとしています。

2. 「フェリーマンを欺く」仮説との核心的な関連性​

デーモンの最も中心的な役割は、‌‌「フェリーマンを欺く」仮説‌‌の基盤をなす情報、すなわち‌‌「人生を以前に生きた」という記憶‌‌を保持していることです。

  • ‌‌人生を繰り返す記憶:‌‌ デーモンは、私たちが‌‌この人生を以前に生きたことがあるという事実‌‌を覚えている部分です。これは「フェリーマンを欺く」仮説の‌‌中心的な部分‌‌です。
  • ‌‌デジャヴュの説明:‌‌ デジャヴュ（技術的には「すでに生きた」を意味するdéjà vécu）の感覚は、このデーモンの記憶によって説明されます。
    • デジャヴュの感覚—ある場所や経験を認識する感覚—は、‌‌その人生を以前に生きた‌‌からこそ生じるものであり、「まさに感じた通りである」とピーク氏は主張します。
  • ‌‌映画の比喩:‌‌ この仮説に基づくと、人生はまるで‌‌「自身の人生の映画を観ている」‌‌かのように展開していることになります。
  • ‌‌警告のメカニズム:‌‌ デーモンはこの「映画」の内容を知っているため、‌‌危険がいつ起こるか‌‌を知っており、それによって私たちに‌‌警告‌‌を発することができるのです。

3. NDEにおける「デーモン」の役割​

ピーク氏は、このデーモンが、臨死体験（NDE）中に人々が遭遇すると報告する‌‌「光の存在（being of light）」‌‌の正体であると論じています。

したがって、『A Daemon』は、デジャヴュや予知的な感覚といった日常的な現象から、NDEのような極限的な意識状態までを統一的に説明するために、‌‌人間が人生をすでに繰り返しており、そのすべての記憶を脳内の「デーモン」が保持している‌‌という科学的かつ哲学的なモデルを提示するものです。

(以下は "Anthony Peake @ Awakened State 13th Oct 2012, Teviot Edinburgh [full length] " と題された動画の文字起こしです。語り手は Anthony Peake です。)

[host] : Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for Anthony Peake.

Right, how do I actually start the... Oh, I do it that way. Right, good. Interestingly enough, Joel Baxt, who you just saw there, the rabbi, I was actually in contact with comparatively recently. And Joel Baxt is a fascinating guy, and I'm hoping to try and help him get his book published in the UK, which could be quite intriguing, because he takes a very interesting angle on a lot of subjects, particularly the Kabbalah and DMT. So his work is very worth checking out. (00:00:41)

Right, I'm going to run through this as quickly as I can, because it's quite a large presentation, and I try to get as much information about me and my background on here as possible as well. Right, progress of a big toe. I'm not talking about that kind of big toe. I'm talking about something I call the Bohmian IMAX grand theory of everything. It will come clear as we go through exactly what I mean by that. It built up over a period of years. (00:01:09)

My first book, Is There Life After Death? The Extraordinary Science of What Happens When You Die, was published in 2006. And this was basically my attempt to understand near-death experience. Near-death experience from a neurological and a scientific point of view, but also from an experiential point of view. So in other words, understanding the fact that people do have this experience, it is reported time and time again, and it's consistent. It is also consistent across cultures. (00:01:38)

So clearly, there is a phenomenon taking place, and it is unscientific for modern science to just ignore it. Science should pursue every single angle in order for us to understand the reality we live within. Also, this book was my attempt to explain a phenomenon known as déjà vu, or actually technically déjà vécu, already lived. And what you will find in this book is I present a philosophy and a science of what might happen to human consciousness at the point of death. (00:02:05)

This I call cheating the ferryman. The Bohmian IMAX is the three-dimensional reality creation, computer program for want of a better term, that we enter at the point of death. If anybody wants further details on that, what I would suggest you do is you actually check out this book, is The Life After Death, which is popularly known as It Lad, within the circles of people that are interested in my work. My second book, A Daemon, A Guide to Your Extraordinary Secret Self, took into account one or two interesting factors that came out of the It Lad book, and particularly the idea that we all seem to have a hidden partner that exists in our lives, a hidden partner that travels through our lives with us. (00:02:49)

I guarantee you that most people in the audience have sometimes had that sensation or feeling that something is very right or very wrong. I'm sure there are other people in the audience who've actually had experiences that you have had a sensation or a precognitive feeling that you're in danger. I hear people who have had been involved in car crashes, and suddenly a voice will tell them to swerve, this kind of thing. This again is the being I call the daemon, which I think inhabits the non-dominant hemisphere of the brain. (00:03:17)

The daemon itself is the part of you that remembers the fact that you've lived this life before, which is a central part of the cheating the ferryman hypothesis, which is in effect, if you have a déjà vu sensation, and you go to a place and you recognize it, or you have an experience where you recognize it, this is because you have lived it before. Straightforward. No other reason for it. There's lots of esoteric explanations, there's lots of neurological explanations, but the actual main argument is, is I say it's exactly as it feels. (00:03:47)

You've lived it before. Now the argument is, there could be a part of you, which I call the daemon, that remembers the fact that you've lived this life before. Because in fact, it's watching the movie of its own life. So therefore it knows when the dangers are about to occur, and that's how it can warn you. Again, this book does the science of this. Many of my books are actually placed in the New Age sections of bookshops, but I'm now starting to notice it's actually being placed now more in popular science. (00:04:13)

And this is because when people are reading the books, they're finding out that what I write about is actually based in scientific knowledge. I take certain information and I run around with it, but effectively it's still based on science. Everything I say in my books is actually referenced back to original source material. So effectively, if you read something in any of my books, you can go to the back, and you can find the article, and you can actually check it out for yourself. (00:04:37)

Because my argument has always been extraordinary claims need extraordinary proofs. And in my books, I give you the background material. All my books are is my position on this, asking my audience and my readers to come back to me with their own opinions and their own thoughts as well. And today, we have episode three. And I'm going to be talking about my book, The Out-of-Body Experience, the History and Science of Astral Travel. And in this, I present a model I call the intramatic model. (00:05:06)

Right, I've discussed in detail about the near-death experience, and the idea that at the point of death, people say they experience many things. They experience the idea of floating outside of their body. They experience the idea of moving towards a white light. They also encounter a being that they call a being of light. Now, I argue the being of light that is argued within a lot of the research on near-death experience is, in fact, the daemon. (00:05:35)

But what is intriguing, what is important for this particular part of the book is exactly what happens when people feel they float outside their bodies. There have been many, many intriguing cases over the years where individuals claim that during either trauma operations or heart attacks, they have not only moved outside of their body, but they have witnessed things from a point above the operating theater or looking over the shoulder of the surgeon. For instance, one very famous case is the Pam Reynolds case, where a lady was actually... (00:06:04)

they'd actually effectively stopped her brain functioning, and she still had an experience. The question is, what are these experiences? Are they real experiences? Are they hallucinations? But in point of fact, we will return to the fact of exactly what hallucination is anyway. Remote viewing. Time and time again, you hear stories of individuals who claim they can get outside of their bodies, and they can go and travel in three-dimensional space, see things, and report back the things they see. (00:06:33)

As you probably know, Project Stargate was a very large exercise the American government did to try and find ways and means of peeping in on what the Russians were doing, because they were worried sick that the Russians were doing exactly the same things. So the question is, when you read the cases of remote viewing, are they really seeing something in this external reality? Or are they seeing something different that they interpret as being part of this reality? (00:06:58)

Lucid dreaming. Fascinating phenomenon. The idea that when you are dreaming, in a dream state, you can become conscious, and consciously aware of the fact that you're dreaming. And if you do that, you then experience your dream being self-aware of the fact of who you are, and what you are doing that you are dreaming. Now, most of us, when we dream, we seem to almost experience things not quite right, in the sense that you are aware and you're sensing the environment around you, but you are not aware necessarily that you're dreaming. (00:07:37)

You might be even aware of the fact that you're yourself. But some people can, using certain techniques, become self-aware in a dream state, and can interact with other people, and can wander around within the environment. I know of people that go back to the same dream environment regularly. Now again, this question I ask myself, and I ask in the book, is exactly where is this dream environment? What is it? Where is it coming from? (00:08:03)

You may be aware of the fact of the movie Inception, which very much takes the ideas of lucid dreaming, and actually makes it into a very, very effective film. One of my associates, Robert Waggoner, who's a member of my forum and a Facebook friend of mine, has written a fascinating book called Lucid Dreaming. And interestingly enough, he calls it Gateway to the Inner Self. And again, he puts forward various techniques you can use in order to train yourself to lucid dream. (00:08:34)

I have to admit, I've never managed to do it. So effectively, I must be a profoundly stupid lucid dreamer, because I can never, ever realize that I'm dreaming. I try so hard, but I've never managed to do it. So it'll be interesting if there's any members of the audience who have actually ever managed to do this. It'll be interesting to talk to you if you have. So, in terms of the phenomenon we're talking about here, here are some interesting individuals who have written books on the subject. (00:09:03)

Now, in terms of remote viewing, Ingo Swann was probably one of the most famous remote viewers. And Ingo Swann, if you read a lot of his work, it's quite fascinating, because he goes to places and he sees things. But they're never quite right. They're never exactly accurate. There's always something slightly wrong about them. And if you read his work, that fascinated me. The guy in the middle is Robert Monroe. And again, there might be members of your audience that know about Bob Monroe. Robert Monroe was a businessman who, in his late 40s, started to have extraordinary dream sequences where he felt he was floating outside of his body. (00:09:40)

And one day, well, one night, he thought he'd fallen out of bed. And he started to push the floor. And as he did so, he floated away from the floor and floated back towards it. And he realized that it wasn't the floor, it was the ceiling. And he managed to move himself around and saw himself and his wife lying in bed. But what was even more peculiar about Robert Monroe was that this happened to him a few times, and then he noticed a hole in the roof as he was feeling it. (00:10:14)

And he went through and ended up in an alternate reality. And in this alternate reality, he found a version of himself that was existing, which he called either. And he was able to get into the mind of this other version of himself, which is very, very intriguing. Because, again, we have the idea, is he dreaming? Is he in a real state? Or what is genuinely happening here? He did attempt at one stage, he was a good friend of Charles Tartt, an American parapsychologist. (00:10:45)

And Charles Tartt had moved to California, and Robert had never been to Charles Tartt's house. So he projected one evening in dream state, and he projected himself to the location of the house in California. Intriguingly enough, he got it about 40% right. But he got the color of the carpet wrong. He got the color of the curtains, the people in the room, what the people were wearing. It was, again, as if it's this reality, but not quite. (00:11:10)

A reality that's very close to this one, but it's not this one. The guy on the other side is not terribly well-known in the English-speaking world. It's a guy called Waldo Vieira, who is a Brazilian. And this book, Projectology, is a scientific way of training somebody to get outside of their body. The International Academy of Consciousness, which is Vieira's organization, actually have a university campus down in Portugal, where they train people to get out of their body. (00:11:39)

They have something called a projectarium. And, again, these individuals... I interface with these guys, you know, occasionally. And, you know, it's very much the idea that they believe that the reality they're in is sort of a facsimile of this one. So this facsimile idea intrigues me. So what is really happening? Are these experiences that they're having simply hallucinations? Now, for a second, the word hallucination... We bandy this around. (00:12:10)

A hallucination is considered to be an illusion. But we've got no way of knowing whether the reality you're now experiencing is a hallucination. The only reason you believe this is not a hallucination is because you share it with everybody else. In other words, it's consensual. You're in a consensual space with everybody else. So that's what you believe this reality to be. And when you go to bed at night, the reality is the same when you wake up the next morning. (00:12:36)

There are cases where individuals have had hallucinations they have shared with other people. Suddenly, the question of whether reality is consistent because we share it now... Suddenly, the question is, if people are sharing hallucinations, that means that's just as real, by the same application of logic. So we have to start thinking along different lines here. We have an interesting anomaly that doesn't fit in within the modern scientific paradigm. I think the secret lies deep within the brain. (00:13:07)

As you're probably aware, your brain consists of literally billions and billions of neurons. All the neurons in your brain, as you probably were, do not touch. They have something called a synaptic gap, which is between the neurons. And messages across the brain are actually sent through... I hope I get this right with the red light. ...are sent through by something called neurotransmitters. And what the neurotransmitters do is they modulate the message and they release a chemical, a neurotransmitter, which goes from one edge of one neuron to the next neuron. (00:13:43)

And this is how messages go across the brain. And it depends upon which neuron is released, which will depend upon your mood. This is how painkillers work. They just suppress the pain travelling across the brain. But neurons are quite interesting. Because neurons themselves, the structures within the neurons are very, very tiny things called microtubules. And there are literally billions of microtubules in every single neuron of your brain. So we're now talking about trillions and trillions of potentials. (00:14:16)

Because each of the microtubules consists of two lines of tubulin. These lines of tubulin give off light. Single photon light called bioluminescence. What you may or may not be aware of is if you take light moving in one direction and light coming in the other they cause what is called an interference pattern. Depending on the light waves is whether they interfere with each other and whether they actually stop each other's wave or they make it bigger. (00:14:55)

This kind of structure is also known as a hologram. This is how holograms function. This is how holograms work. So inside your brain are trillions and trillions of these microtubules all of which have the potential to create holographic images with light that has been drawn up from somewhere. Because the mystery is where do biophotons come from? They don't come from the outside world. They've been drawn up from somewhere else. And of course all a biophoton is and all a photon is, is a particle or a wave. (00:15:33)

We won't go there, I go there with the lectures I do in terms of particle physics. But a biophoton, a photon is just a particle of electromagnetic energy. But it's more intriguing again because one of the things I've recently found is that within the microtubules themselves there's something called the microtrabecular network. This is inside every single microtubule and it's a mesh of wires. Now what does that look like? (00:16:06)

Fibre optics. Your brain is full of things that are potential to be fibre optics. And what do fibre optics do? They actually send light down and send signals down. So suddenly your brain is suddenly this huge processor of light or electromagnetic energy. So what is happening here then? Well I suggest that here we have the brain here then you drill into the brain to the neurons the neurons we got down here into the structures within the neurons into the microtubules into the light waves within the microtubules into the microtrabecular trellis. (00:16:50)

What is this drawing up and where is it drawing this information up from? Now I've been long intrigued by internal light. For instance something called phosphenes. If you press the corner of your eye now close your eye and you press the corner of your eye you will see light. I have classic migraine. I see lights, I see images, everything else. Again the question is where is that light coming from? Because it's not coming from outside. (00:17:17)

If you trace the optic nerve back into the head it crosses into the brain and directly above it is the pineal gland. So this is something intriguing here because there is something happening peculiar in the brain. I believe the light that we perceive in dreams the light we perceive when the light is actually drawn up from the biological states is light coming up from something called the zero point field. The quantum vacuum as it's known. (00:17:58)

This again is probably a little known area of science but if you start checking up on it you'll find it quite intriguing because an associate of mine Professor Bernard Heche who is an American astrophysicist has actually got funding from the American government to find ways and means of drawing up energy from the zero point field. In fact they've started a project in Boulder, Colorado where they're actually trying to find ways and means of drawing this energy up. And I believe this is why there is the fascination for the Higgs boson as well over in CERN because the Higgs boson is a manifestation of the zero point field. (00:18:35)

What the zero point field is is a mysterious form of energy that's found just above absolute zero. I think it's 272.15 Kelvin. That's very, very cold and there should be no energy there because the very definition of absolute zero is there is no energy. The electrons stop moving. But there's something called the Casimir effect and various other effects that have been seen that even at that level there is still energy coming up from somewhere. (00:19:02)

That energy is electromagnetic energy and it's coming from the space between the particles between the particles within the atom. Most of the world is 99.99% 999 go on and on, empty space. You're empty space, I'm empty space. The only thing is we're just fluctuations in an energy field. This is what is happening here with the zero point field. Within the zero point field there's a form of energy that can be drawn up called Bose-Einstein condensates. (00:19:35)

And what these are in effect are a series of subatomic particles that act as subatomic particles do which is basically weird. And again, I haven't got time here to explain why subatomic particles are so weird but they are. They're a particle, they're a wave. They can be two places at the same time. They can communicate instantaneously across time and space. But what Bose-Einstein condensate is is a group of particles can come together and move in the same way like you see with this picture here. (00:20:06)

And what it means is effectively is that subatomic effects can actually affect the macro world that we live within. And again, Bose-Einstein condensates they've been working with them now and they find them incredibly peculiar and they think they have massive potentials. So we have Bose-Einstein condensates but there's something else that is very fascinating is that Stephen Hawking has postulated that most of empty space in the subatomic particle world is made up of trillions and trillions of mini black holes. (00:20:39)

Now this is Stephen Hawking. This is not some guy down the pub. This is Stephen Hawking. Now funnily enough, I recently discovered in my last book not this one, but the one that came out afterwards Stephen Hawking has also come forward suggesting a new alternative for some of the mysteries of quantum physics and he's worked with a guy called Thomas Hertog at CERN and he's come forward with the idea, now get this that every decision, every outcome of every decision that is possible is out there. (00:21:10)

You make a decision and you collapse what's called the wave function of that decision to make that reality come into existence. Again, Stephen Hawking. So this is serious stuff. It's just that it's not out there in the general knowledge because they think that we probably won't be able to deal with this. It's the idea, as one quantum physicist said, it's like trying to give a child an atomic bomb because we're not supposed to understand all this because if we understand that the reality that we believe is solid reality isn't what does that say about how we're going to react going forward? (00:21:40)

So we've got all these mini black holes. We also have something called Einstein-Rosen bridges. And mini black holes are effectively Einstein-Rosen bridges because for every black hole, which as you know is something that is so dense that light itself cannot escape. So in other words, the light wave leaves and gets pulled back in to the black hole. But as well, the other side of a black hole is known as a white hole. And you get something called an Einstein-Rosen bridge where space-time is twisted by the sheer power of the black hole and it opens up a wormhole in space. (00:22:18)

It's very much, I think, did Star Trek do something about this? But suffice to say, these things are happening inside your head with inside the micro-vecular structures within the brain. And there's trillions of them in your brain. Is this where the light comes from? In dreams? This is what William Bulman said, one of the most famous astral travellers. Slowly I came to understand that the environment I was observing was not the physical world as I had assumed. (00:22:48)

I realised that the structure I normally observed when out of the body were non-physical structures. Now I finally understand why there were slight variations between the non-physical and physical furniture and other objects. For example, the non-physical walls were often a different colour, and the shapes and styles of some of the furniture and rugs were different. Much of this was minor, but nevertheless noticeable. It appears that we are not observing the physical world from a different perspective, as many believe, but are interacting with separate but parallel dimensions of energy. (00:23:15)

This is one of the world's experts on this, and I'm actually in contact with William about this. I won't do that quotation because it's too long to go. So, where am I leading with this? Well, I believe that we can communicate with alternate levels of reality, and I believe we do it every night when we dream. I also believe that we do it in those liminal states, just before you're asleep. Technically known as hypnagogia. (00:23:43)

Just as you wake up, hypnopompia. You know, you'll see images, you'll see faces in profile, you'll see them moving around. Many, many people have this, and one of my associates, Dr. Andreas Mavromatis, has written a book on this, called Hypnagogia. And he does, again, a lot of the stuff I'm trying to do with this as well. This device, I believe, is going to change the world. It's called the lucid light device. (00:24:10)

We know it as Lucia. And what it is, it's invented by two professional scientists, Dr. Engelbert Winkler, who is a psychologist, and Dr. Dirk Prokel, who is a consultant neurologist. And what they've done is, they've pooled their knowledge and their experience to try and have a machine that will generate automatically something known as the flicker response. It's the idea, when you see flickering light, you can actually go into alternate states of consciousness. (00:24:42)

This generates this. You sit in front of it, and you wait, and it's attached to a computer program. Now, I tried this machine. They invited me over to Switzerland because Engelbert has read a couple of my books and was very keen for me to try this machine out. Now, this is a photograph of me testing the machine out. I sat in front of it for about two or three minutes, and nothing happened. And I thought, is this going to be one of these things that happen in my life that, because I very rarely have any kind of strange things happen to me, just synchronicities and things. (00:25:20)

I sat in front of it, and after about two or three minutes, suddenly there was an explosion of blue light across my right visual field. Then an explosion of red light from this visual field. And the two visual fields then started to move together. Tunnel effect. Tunnel effect, classic near-death experience. So whatever it was doing, it was starting to generate the classic near-death experience sensation. I had a sense of lifting out of my body. I felt that my hands were detaching themselves as if I was just rising out of the chair, which was quite disturbing. (00:25:57)

Then my eyes started vibrating in my head, which were really disturbing, but apparently I was told that was a neurological effect and a physiological effect because my eyes were encoding the light flickers. What then happened stunned me because I could see something shimmering down here in my visual field. Now, again, as I say, I'm a classical migrainer, so I know about scotomas, and I know about, if any of you are classical migrainers in the room, you know that you get these kind of castellations and fizziness, and it was like that. (00:26:28)

And I said, can I look at it? And they said yes, because your brain will have encoded the light waves. It will have encoded it all. So I looked down, and what I saw, I still find it impossible to even begin to understand. I felt a sensation. These pictures are really describing how I felt. There was a kind of a fuzzy and a kind of a real weird explosion in my chest. (00:26:53)

And then I saw this. I felt the chair was hovering two or three miles, ten miles, who knows, over a planet. As far as the eye could see were these lines. This is in black and white, but what I saw was in color. And there were shimmering blue lights going down all of these channels. And I could see the curvature of the planet. I've subsequently found out, after reading some of the work of Carlos Castaneda, that the blue lights are something called the lines of the world that are told time and time again by shamans. I didn't know any of this. (00:27:33)

I didn't even know what this was until I actually got back to the UK and I was told by a friend of mine, Robert Bruce, not your Robert Bruce, but another Robert Bruce, an Australian one, who's one of the world's leading trainers in out-of-body experiences. And this is taken from Robert's book. And he said, you saw the astral plane. And I'm thinking, my God, this is a term I've heard over the years. I've seen it. This is ridiculous. (00:27:57)

But nevertheless, I know what I saw. This is then the sensation I had, because I have to say, I lost my nerve. I said, switch the machine off. I'm too nervous about this. Then I'm talking to the other group, and as I'm talking, there is a kind of vibration starting in the centre of my head here. And it was like a very small creature moving underneath. And every time I was speaking to people, it started going like that. (00:28:23)

And I didn't comment on it, but the rest of that evening, it kept reoccurring. I went to bed that night, and I had the most amazing dreams I've ever had. They were vivid. They were colourful. But what was strange was, what was in the dreams? Snakes. I saw snakes everywhere. Normally twin snakes, twining round each other. I thought, what the hell does this mean? I then went home. Funnily enough, this picture here, we were actually talking about this over lunch. (00:28:55)

This is an Alex Grey picture. Apparently, I'm told, it's called death. But again, this was the kind of sensation I was feeling that night, when I was dreaming. What was happening to me, and what I believe was happening is, the light had stimulated my pineal gland to release endogenously, that is internally, a substance known as dimethyltryptamine, DMT. As you're probably aware, or some of you maybe aware, DMT is the most powerful hallucinogenic drug known to man. (00:29:27)

It's actually found in plants, it's found in the bloodstream, they found it in the brain. This is something generated naturally. It's inside us. Now, this substance, and if you get the opportunity, a guy called Dr. Rick Strassman has written a book about this. I'm just checking to make sure I'm not running out of time here. And I'm wasting time, trying to check whether I'm running out of time. Rick Strassman has written a book on this, an American doctor who did a lot of research on this. (00:30:01)

And what he found, when people took DMT, they had consensual dreams. They shared dreams, they shared sensations. And they were consistent. And everybody that takes DMT says that the place you go is more real than this place. A doctor friend of mine took it experimentally a few years ago. And he said when he took DMT, he said he felt like his chest had crashed open. He was flying at great speed. And he was dumped in this place. (00:30:27)

And in this place there were just clouds. And there were figures in the clouds. And something deep inside him said, oh my God, I'm back there again. And he was back in his body again. Now, I also deal with people who have abductee experiences. With UFO abduction experiences. These are identical to what people experience in dimethyltryptamine trips. There clearly is a link here. It's what the link is that intrigues me. Now, the pineal gland, I find, is probably one of the most mysterious objects in the brain. (00:31:05)

It's the only object, with the exception of some very, very small things, that is not duplicated. Everything else in your brain is duplicated. You have two amygdala, you have two hippocampi, but you only have one pineal gland, which sits in the middle of the brain. Modern science doesn't really know what it's supposed to do. But over recent years they've discovered that what it does do is it excretes something called melatonin. (00:31:26)

And melatonin is the drug that makes you go to sleep. Okay? But right through history, the pineal gland has been a great part of people's worlds. I won't go through all these, but effectively people say that the symbol of the pine is a pinecone. But the pineal code comes from pine. And they say that the largest symbol of the pinecone is in the Vatican. I don't believe that is. I believe that's the biggest one. It's Angkor Wat in Cambodia, where I visited two years ago to help some people on the TV program over there. (00:32:05)

Look at them. Hiding in plain sight. Now on top of that, you will find pinecone symbolism everywhere. In my next book I have a whole section. New York is full of pinecone symbolism. A lot of the skyscrapers in New York have got pinecones on them. And they were designed by the same guy. And the same guy was a top mason. Pinecone symbolism works with masons. I'm now in contact with one or two masons who said, yeah, you're actually getting close. They're actually very cryptic. (00:32:34)

But nevertheless, we're getting close here with something. Now, my associates in Austria took the Lucia light device over to Lhasa in Tibet. And they had guys who were part of something called the dream yoga tradition. And they had them sit in front of the light like I did. Now, these guys are part of something called the Bon tradition. Now, the Bon tradition is the original shamanic tradition of that part of the world. (00:33:04)

And although they're technically Buddhist, because Buddhism is a very syncretic religion, the belief system was brought on board with the Bon. And the Bon believe that after training you can get out of your body and you can travel in other locations. These guys, within three minutes of being under the Lucid light device, were seeing mandalas, were seeing the things that it took years of training to do. Again, clearly, whatever is happening here is significant. (00:33:31)

But what was weirder was, Dirk and Engelbert, after they'd done the work on the guys, the next day, they were wandering around Patala Palace. And they came across an isolated room, and they were allowed in it. And they went inside, and there were huge glass cases in this room, covered in dust. Inside the glass cases were these huge objects. They were ossified elephant's pineal glands that had been there, and nobody even remembered why they were there. And this brings us back to the point of the pineal gland itself and something we touched upon earlier on about the fluoridation. (00:34:10)

I've been doing work on this, and it does definitely affect the pineal gland. There is no question about this. What it does is it builds up, it becomes more bony. But on top of that, the pineal gland contains very tiny crystals called brain sand. These crystals are piezoelectric. It means they're sensitive to electromagnetic radiation. What we were talking about light before, it's the pineal gland that's processing this light. The pineal gland, as you probably know, is also known as the third eye. (00:34:41)

What I don't understand is how ancient cultures called it the third eye when it was only about 100 years ago. They discovered, in fact, that within the third eye, it's visual. It can actually process light. In fact, there's a blizzard called the Tutora in New Zealand that it is a third eye. It actually has a retina. Ours has just gone inside our brain. The other intriguing thing about the pineal gland is that as the baby, as you're an embryo, at the 49th week of gestation, the pineal gland is at the back of the throat. (00:35:14)

It then starts to move up from the back of the throat to the center of the brain. The 49th day of gestation, according to the Buddhists, is when the soul appears in the body. So there's a clear link here. But what is even weirder, and if any of you do deep meditation or know people that do, you'll know this. There's something when you go into deep meditative states called the divine nectar. (00:35:37)

It's an acidic taste that people get at the back of the throat when they start to go into altered states of consciousness. I believe that's dimethyltryptamine dripping down the duct that's been left when the pineal gland moved up. It's not my original idea on this, I have to say. There's a guy called Beach Barrett in America that showed me these ideas. So clearly, the pineal gland is doing something very, very powerful. (00:35:58)

The book, The Outer Body Experience, that I've just described, that I discuss a lot of these outer body experiences, this is what Professor Irvin Laszlo said about it. And he said, Peak brings us closer to understanding the mystery of the real world and the many ways we can apprehend it. This is what this book is all about. It's about a great deal more, much more than any book I have read. Reading it is a mind-expanding experience that must not be missed. (00:36:23)

Now, I don't know if you guys know, Irvin Laszlo, he's been nominated for the Nobel Prize twice. And for Irvin Laszlo to be saying something about my work like that is incredible. But I genuinely believe the things I'm developing now have profound significance. And I'm not being vain, I'm not being difficult. I'm just stating a fact. It does seem that this does resonate with so many people. From here, where am I going to go next? (00:36:47)

Well, the book that came out recently is my take on time. Because I'm now actually working with the idea of what is time? How does time function within the brain? What can we explain about time in terms of the scientific ideas of what time is? This book will be reviewed in 14 times next month. I'm hoping for another nine because my last two books got nines out of ten. So I'm hoping for that on that one. (00:37:12)

I also have edited a book called Making Sense of Near-Death Experience. This is a technical book for medical people for when somebody has a near-death experience so that they know what to look for. And I've worked on this one with two Australian consultant psychologists, psychiatrists I should say. And in fact, much to my amazement, considering I sometimes think I'm a persona non grata in certain areas, this was nominated for the Psychiatry Book of the Year at the British Medical Association three weeks ago. (00:37:43)

In fact, we were highly commended, which is amazing. So what's happening is now the authorities are starting to see what I'm writing and starting to react and say, well, actually what we're talking about here does have some form of validity. Now again, this book has other people who have made contributions as well. And the one I'm working on now that I have literally finished this week will be called The Gateway to Infinity, The Pioneer Portal. And this will be all the work I've been doing in recent months. (00:38:12)

Like, for instance, working with Joel Baxton, people like that. And this book will really, really pull everything together in terms of what I'm trying to do. And that, I think, is it. Now I'm sorry about rushing through that. I don't know how much time I've got left on here. But what I wanted to do was to give as much time possible for any questions that people have as well. Because what I've done is I've given you an awful lot of information. (00:38:35)

And there's a lot there. I haven't done any of the quantum physics. I've done very little of the neurology. But as an introduction to my work, at least this is giving you an opportunity to understand where I'm coming from. My philosophy is a simple one. Modern science has got itself down a cul-de-sac. Science is like it was 110 years ago. There are certain things within science they cannot explain. (00:39:01)

They cannot explain how inanimate matter brings about consciousness. It's called the hard problem. David Chalmers, an Australian philosopher, has brought this up. Because when you think about it, your brain is ultimately made of inanimate matter. How does inanimate matter bring about you with your memories, your future, your fears, your hopes, your loves, your dreams? You shouldn't be existing in a world of matter. Because the mind is not matter. It is the opposite of matter. (00:39:28)

It doesn't occupy space, does it? It occupies time, but it doesn't have extension in space. But your brain creates it. They have no idea of that. Quantum physics, they still have profound problems with something called the twin slit experiment, and the idea of matter as a particle or a wave. These things are mysteries, and these are the things I'm trying to find out. And what I say to people is, I'm actively on Facebook, I have an active reader group. I want people involved. (00:39:58)

I haven't got the answers. If you see things in my books that you think are wrong, I've got them wrong, I misunderstand them, that's fine. I'm not a guru, I'm not anything special, I'm just an ordinary guy trying to find answers. You know, I'm not going to teach you how to do astral travel. I'm not going to teach you how to have any of these things, because I don't know. But what I do want to know is your experiences, and together we can probably take science and everything else to the next paradigm. (00:40:25)

And I think that's the most important thing. Cheating the ferryman does not belong to me anymore. It's not Anthony Peake, it's everybody's. And we're working on it together, and there are thousands of people around the world involved in this. But all this is on my website. So come and join it. It's great fun. The water's fine. Right. Thank you. I think what is happening is that the hypothesis is so wide. (00:41:06)

In fact, I was invited to talk at the Edinburgh University Philosophy Society at the end of this month. In fact, here. And literally the middle of this week they pulled the rug from under me, because they decided because I didn't have the academic back... I didn't have university tenure, and therefore I couldn't speak. And it is clearly because whatever I'm saying is certainly starting to worry people. Purely and simply because I do the science. (00:41:33)

I do know what I'm talking about. If anybody wants to debate Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle with me, I'll do it all night. So effectively, this is the way of the future. Spirituality and science have to work together. And it has to. We're not enemies. We're all trying to find the same thing, which is understanding why we are here. And what it is to be inside your head. You know, isn't it the most wonderful thing? (00:41:58)

Science is amazing. But the most amazing thing is that I'm inside my head, perceiving these things. Now, there are people like Daniel Dennett and various other materialist reductionist psychologists, who will actually deny the existence of inner life altogether. You know, we're deluding ourselves. We're not conscious at all. We just think we're conscious. Who on earth Daniel Dennett thinks is taking the royalty checks for his book Consciousness Explained? I've no idea. (00:42:27)

But effectively, every single person, the one thing you know with absolute certitude is that you're inside your head and thinking. That's the only thing you know. Everything else is presented to you by your brain through brain processes, isn't it? Everything else is. I am. I'm probably just a projection of your mind, trying to help you explain why you are here. That's a thought, isn't it? I haven't, but I think that is quite intriguing, isn't it? (00:43:11)

It's the idea of somebody might be in a dream state, then you play some music to them, and then that music becomes part of their dreamscape. And then they can create a dream around that sound of music. Exactly. Yeah. Because that's intriguing. And funnily enough, what is also intriguing is people tell me that when they are lucid dreaming, there are other entities that actually are consistently within their lucid dreams that they interface with. (00:43:40)

There's one guy who tells me that he's lucid dreaming. He comes lucid, and there's a whole crowd of people. And there'll be one guy looking at him, and he'll come over to him. And then the next night, he'll be somewhere else, and there'll be a lot more people, and that same guy will be there. As if this person actually has physical existence over and above the observer of the dream, which is very intriguing. Does this say that there are entities out there? (00:44:03)

In which case, you have to be very careful. And I don't know, I have to say. Thank you. The major question about hallucinogens is exactly what they're doing in the brain and what they're bringing about. For instance, with dimethyltryptamine, they banned dimethyltryptamine, I think, in the mid-70s. I think something like that. LSD, they did something similar. And I think it's because what it's doing is it's giving people the idea that there are alternate realities that they can travel to, and that this is not the only reality. (00:44:45)

But, of course, there is the danger that there are downsides. Because, effectively, if your brain is not ready for it, or your consciousness is not ready for it, it can bring about paranoia. It can bring about a lot of things, because suddenly you're in a world that you're set adrift in. And funnily enough, one of the people... If anybody listens to Red Ice Radio in Sweden, if you go onto redice.com, there's a series of interviews I've done on Red Ice. And one of the interviews I do is with a guy called Tom Campbell, who's an American researcher who worked with Tom Campbell. And Tom is a physicist, and he has this model of alternate realities, which I say that things like dimethyltryptamine, you can actually break through into alternate realities. (00:45:29)

Now, I believe the alternate realities that you break through are the realities that maybe ghosts exist in, disincarnate spirits, whatever we want to call them. I think that this can explain an awful lot about the nature of reality. And those anomalous things that we all experience. You know, whenever I give talks like this, 80% of the audience will have either had precognitive dreams, precognitive déjà vu sensations, out-of-the-body experiences. These are phenomenally common. They have to be explained. (00:45:59)

And I think with hallucinogenic drugs, there are sometimes dangers. But I think the difference with dimethyltryptamine is it seems that it is generated by the brain. They've actually found receptor sites in the brain called TARS. T-A-R-S. And TARS seem to be designed specifically to work with dimethyltryptamine, which effectively means they are natural. And if they are natural, what do they signify? And I suggest that what they signify is when you go into a dimethyltryptamine trip, for want of a better term, you are encountering entities. (00:46:34)

And these entities, I think, are linked in some way to DNA. That's why there's the snake symbolism. That's why you see the caduceus with the twin snakes. You have the opening up of the kundalini experience. The kundalini experience goes up the spine on two sides. The pingala and the whatever it is going up the side of the spine. Again, it's the symbolism of DNA. And I believe that it's DNA that is communicating with us through these drugs. (00:47:05)

One final point on this, for instance. The shamans in Latin America were asked how it was they discovered a drug called ayahuasca. Now, ayahuasca is quite intriguing. It contains DMT. But if you take DMT and you swallow it, you can eat as much DMT as you like. It will not affect you. The only reason it can be effective, when it goes into your stomach, what happens is something called the MAO inhibitor in your stomach, which is an enzyme, stops the DMT working. (00:47:36)

The shamans in Latin America, however, when they make ayahuasca, have two plants. One of which contains the DMT. It's Banisteria capi. And there's Cycopteria viridis, I think it is. And they mix these two plants together. One of them contains an MAO inhibitor and the other one contains the DMT. Which means you have the hallucinations. There are 50,000, at least, types of plants in Latin America. The shamans found the two plants, put them together in exactly the right way to make the drug work. (00:48:11)

When they were asked how they did it, the shamans turned around and said, the plants told us. The snakes told them. Because, of course, shamans can go into these states normally. DNA is communicating with us and it's trying to communicate with us through DMT. Which is my opinion. Ladies and gentlemen, Anthony Peake. Thank you. (00:48:34)
