Here Anthony Peake reads the most important sub-chapter of his latest book “Near-Death Experiences: The Science, Psychology and Anthropology Behind the Phenomenon” (Arcturus Books. 2024)
This is an inferior recording of a section the Audible Book that can be downloaded via Amazon. In this section Anthony presents some astonishing evidence for his “Cheating the Ferryman” hypothesis sourced from a series of peer-reviewed academic papers published over the last ten years.
This is, in his opinion, the MOST IMPORTANT section of his writings and needs to be listened to (and read) by anybody seriously interested in evidence for survival after death and the implications of the Near-Death Experience. This should be checked out by academics, journalists and media people because what it contains is, quite literally, paradigm changing. Please help getting this out-there and viral ….
If you want to know more, and wish to see Anthony doing a series of live lectures, workshops and intensives on his research into the Near-Death Experience, join him at the Contact In The Desert “Event Horizon” conference which will take place between 29th of May to the 2nd June 2024 at the Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa in Indian Wells, California.
As Marcello Truzzi once stated, “extraordinary claims require extraordinary proofs”(Truzzi, M. (1978). “On the Extraordinary: An Attempt at Clarification. Zetetic Scholar Vol 1, No 1, 11) so for those of you wishing to follow up on the supporting material for this chapter, here are the references:
