WHAT EXACTLY ARE HALLUCINATIONS? ARE THEY ACTUALLY DOORS TO ANOTHER REALITY? Anthony Peake thinks so. In this stunning new book Peake takes the work of Aldous Huxley and updates it using the latest information from such seemingly unrelated fields as quantum mechanics, neurochemistry and consciousness studies. This work follows on from Peake's groundbreaking books The Out-of-Body Experience and The Infinite Mindfield.
Anthony Peake is rapidly developing a reputation for being one of the world's most original thinkers in the study of altered states of consciousness. His work focuses on finding scientifically based answers to the great mysteries of human consciousness.

Anthony Peake's fascinating book explores the underlying nature of consciousness as it is revealed through various syndromes and disorders. The book combines scientific evidence with philosophical inquiry in an elegant way, posing deep questions about what we experience as reality. A great read!
-Daniel Pinchbeck, author of How Soon is Now? and Breaking Open the Head
In this deeply insightful book, Peake discusses the neurological, neurochemical, physiological and psychological correlations between pathological conditions and anomalous states of consciousness that are often associated with these conditions. Peake draws attention to commonalities between some of these conditions in regards to how they are linked on the spectrum of consciousness and highlights that a renewed perspective on consciousness could remove the seemingly 'paranormal' labels given to anomalous states. More importantly, it gives us a deeper understanding of pathological conditions such as epilepsy, migraine and schizophrenia and provides us with insight into how to develop potential therapeutic strategies for those who live with these conditions.
-Dr Penny Sartori, author of The Wisdom of Near-Death Experiences
Anthony Peake is engaged in one of the most important strands of ontological inquiry of modern times, unravelling the Gordian Knot that is the mystery of our existence. Boldly researched, patiently detailed and with clearly explained examples of 'experience anomalies', this book underpins his non-mystical model of immortality, showing how our bi-cameral brains might interface with the universal Pleroma.
