Inner Traditions Bear and Company Machine Intelligence and the Imaginal Realm:
Book SynopsisExamines the role that machines play in the struggle between “spiritual man” and “mechanical man” throughout the ages• Explores how we naturally project consciousness onto machines and how this is reflected in human culture, science, artificial intelligence, and literature • Demonstrates a direct connection between consciousness and the history of machines in American history • Looks at the contributions and influence of Grace Hopper, Richard Feynman, Philip K. Dick, Nikola Tesla, Thomas Edison, Elon Musk, David Bohm, Norbert Wiener, and Steve Jobs as well as the Nag Hammadi Gnostic gospels Humans invented and constructed machines to aid them as far back as the Stone Age. As the machines became more complex, they became extensions of the body and mind, and we naturally began projecting consciousness onto them. As Luke Lafitte shows in detail, although machines complicate the already complicated issue of identity, because they are “ours” and “of us,” they are part of our spiritual development. In this sweeping exploration of the history of the machine as a tool, as a transpersonal object to assist human activity, and as a transitional artifact between spirits and the humans who interact with them, Lafitte examines the role that machines play in the struggle between “spiritual man” and “mechanical-man” throughout history. He interprets the messages, archetypes, and language of the unconscious in the first popular stories related to mechanical-men, and he demonstrates a direct connection between consciousness and the history of machines in American history, specifically between the inventors of these machines and the awakening of our imaginations and our powers of manifestation. He examines the influence of Philip K. Dick, Nikola Tesla, Thomas Edison, Grace Hopper, Richard Feynman, Elon Musk, David Bohm, and others and shows how the Nag Hammadi gospels explain how we can take back our myth and spirit from the machine. Although the term mechanical-man is a catch-all phrase, Lafitte shows that the term is also a meeting ground where extra-dimensional communications between different forms of matter occur. Every machine, android, robot, and cyborg arose from consciousness, and these mechanical-men, whether real or fictive, offer us an opportunity to free ourselves from enslavement to materialism and awaken our imaginations to create our own realities.Trade Review"The ambition of Lafitte’s Machine Intelligence and the Imaginal Realm is massive, provocative, and essential. It is a book that traces the emergence of the American character and mythos reflected in the form of the ever-evolving mechanical man. From the steam engine and the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz to the Darth Vader and the Matrix, the book is a whirlwind blending of scholarship and pop culture portraying a vortex of ideas, influences, and expressions that portend an epochal shift in how we live, perceive reality, spirituality, and self. We are immersed in a wide array of challenges, complexity, and opportunities, and Lafitte is our navigator." * Thomas Riccio, former Creative Director at Hanson Robotics and Professor at University of Texas at D *“Machine Intelligence and the Imaginal Realm is a tour de force of mythological thinking on a reimagined hero’s journey. A brilliant insight into the potential of humanity and new mythic directions toward the ever-changing frontiers of discovery, innovation, and actualization.” * Judd H.

Inner Traditions Bear and Company Dreamtimes and Thoughtforms: Cosmogenesis from
Book Synopsis• Examines animal intelligences within a greater evolutionary context, detailing in particular the remarkable intelligence of crows and octopuses • Looks at the Australian Aborigine Dreamtime as an attempt to understand the combined geological and geomantic landscape • Investigates a range of ideas as they relate to the intersections of consciousness and reality, including reincarnation, past-life memories, ghosts, and UFOs From the origins of the cosmos to the microbiome, COVID-19 pandemic, UFOs, and the shapeshifting of octopuses and language of crows, Richard Grossinger traverses the mysteries and enigmas that defi ne our universe and personal reality.Beginning his narrative with the Big Bang, origin of the Milky Way, and birth of our solar system, Grossinger o ers a chronology of Earth’s geological, climatological, biological, and sociological evolution, leading to the current environmental and psychospiritual crisis. He explores the origin of cell life, RNA-DNA, and larger biomes, detailing in particular the remarkable intelligence of crows and octopuses. He uses the Australian Aborigine Dreamtime to understand landscapes as thoughtforms. He then o ers reimaginings, from the perspective of “dreamings,” of a wide variety of animals, including tardigrades, llamas, sea turtles, pigeons, bees, and coyotes. Examining the scientifi c dilemmas and paradoxes of consciousness, time, and quantum entanglement, Grossinger carries these into the range of issues around reincarnation, past-life memories, messages from the afterlife, and ghosts. Sharing exercises from his personal practice, Grossinger makes a distinction between the Buddhist description of reality and how Buddhist practitioners create an operating manual for the universe and an assured path of salvation. The author then examines UFOs and their connections to elementals, fairies, and cryptids in terms of psychoids, Jung’s term for transconscious processes that enter our world as autonomous entities. Taking the reader on a journey through the seen and unseen universe, from the Big Bang to the imaginal landscape of Dreamtime, Grossinger shows that matter is infused with spirit from its very beginning.Trade Review“Richard Grossinger’s great gift is his ability to explicitly state what many of us merely feel. This is a magnificent talent and also a rare blessing for humanity.” * Larry Dossey, M.D., author of One Mind and Space, Time, and Medicine *“Grossinger hurls his mastery of esoteric wisdom, a profound understanding of the cosmos, and his exquisite poetic expression at the reader like the bright light of an asteroid whizzing past Earth’s orbit. A breathtaking read!” * Patricia Cori, author, screenwriter, and former host of Beyond the Matrix *“We live in a wild cosmos, a multidimensional multiverse teeming with all sorts of intelligences and mysteries. Dreamtimes and Thoughtforms is an invitation into a bigger cosmological story that makes room for all the beauty and paradox we are enveloped in by (in)visible worlds. In these pages, Grossinger performs his trademark meta-integration magic--weaving together animal intelligence, UFOs, ghosts, and esoteric cosmologies into a wonderfully wild song of ourselves and the worlds around us, containing multitudes.” * Sean Esbjörn-Hargens, Ph.D., dean of integral education at California Institute for Human Scien *“Dreamtimes and Thoughtforms examines the inner and external landscapes of consciousness. Exploring the primordial universe and/or multiverse, primitive biological life, physics, psi, dreams, philosophy, anthropology, and ancient writings, Grossinger goes beyond surface-level discussions and embraces deep contemplation and open-mindedness. Recognizing that consciousness is the builder of all we experience, the author realizes that one may survey the greater reality more effectively through inner vision than a set of eyes. When looking out to observe the external world, we, in some way, see a reflection of ourselves.” * Mark Ireland, author of Soul Shift *“Dreamtimes and Thoughtforms takes forward, with new inputs, the project Alfred Jarry undertook in his Faustroll writings at the end of the nineteenth century. Like Jarry, Grossinger reads science through an esoteric lens and esoteric thinking through the lens of science, thus enriching our sensibilities, unmooring our imaginations. In his own terminology, perhaps Jarry was a preincarnation of Grossinger.” * Fred D’Agostino, Ph.D., retired professor of humanities at the University of Queensland *“From the Big Bang to bacteria to the microbiomes, the Cambrian explosion, and catastrophic events, Richard Grossinger outlines the universe and the limitations of materialistic science in explaining ‘all that is,’ for there is more to life than math, chemistry, and physics. A great read; highly recommended.” * John A. Rush, Ph.D., N.D., author of Jesus, Mushrooms, and the Origin of Christianity *“In Dreamtimes and Thoughtforms, the reader will learn about the spiritual concepts that date back to the Big Bang and how they relate to reincarnation, pastlife memories, ghosts, and even to the intelligence of crows and octopuses. This is a sensational investigation into how beliefs and thoughtforms create reality.” * David Barreto, author of Spiritual Evolution in the Animal Kingdom *“Like his masterpiece Deep Pool of Light, the meanings flow from the pages to our souls, creating a new language of the sacred. Richard’s work is best seen perhaps as the scripture of an expanding cosmos written for a distant age beyond our present vision. It’s as though he can observe and celebrate from a distant galaxy our own Milky Way, nucleus to nova, or slide down a cosmic wormhole and document the journey!” * Albert J. LaChance, author of Cultural Addiction and coauthor of The Third Covenant *“When I read Richard’s words I am uplifted and encouraged to fully envelop my mind in the psychospiritual, metaphysical spaces he makes so accessible. Dreamtimes and Thoughtforms is a profound treatise on the vanguard of how we cognize and ingest the super mundane and come to know the full expression of the living cosmos, all around and within.” * Joshua Reichmann, filmmaker and musician *“Reminds me of a Bob Dylan song.” * John Friedlander, author of Recentering Seth *Table of ContentsForeword by Sophie StrandAcknowledgmentsPREFACE Reading Gateway Cards ONE PlanetBig Bang Ice Climate TWO Genome Cells Microbiomes THREE Dreamings Butterfly DreamingAboriginal DreamingsOctopus and Crow DreamingsCOVID Dream Animals FOURMeta-Sciences Fields Quantum Mechanics Life Among Stars FIVE Unidentified GuidesUFOs Meeting David Wilcock at NonilandPsychoidsSIXIncarnationsAfterlives Ghosts The Scam of the Being of LightReincarnations Time SEVEN Practices Phenomena and PhenomenologyBuddhism ExercisesInitiation EPILOGUE Camouflage Cosmoses, Callings, and Codes Technocracy The God Code Bandwidths Notes Biblioraphy Index

Inner Traditions Bear and Company Psychiatry and the Spirit World: True Stories on
Book SynopsisA psychiatrist’s comprehensive examination of evidence for the survival of consciousness after death After a twenty-year break from practice, Alan Sanderson returned to clinical psychiatry at age fifty-nine and soon realized that many of his patients were plagued by troublesome earthbound spirits, some of whom had been attached across lifetimes to multiple incarnations as well as multiple hosts. By talking with these attached spirits and persuading them to leave their hosts, Dr. Sanderson found remarkable success in the treatment of his patients. Now, more than 30 years later, Dr. Sanderson shares his extensive research on the afterlife, the survival of consciousness after physical death, and paranormal phenomena related to the spirit world. He explains his practice of psychiatric spirit release, centered on the spiritual and psychic aspects of emotional disturbance, and shares case studies complete with full accounts of treatment sessions. He offers first-hand accounts of the survival of the spirit after death, from ancient times to the present day, and explores end-of-life experiences, including what is witnessed by the living people in the room, as well as profound accounts of near-death experiences, out-of-body experiences, and reincarnation. He examines evidence for mediumship, clairvoyance, telepathy, and the psychic aspects of heart transplants. He also details cases of remote healing, further proving the existence of connections beyond the material world. Presenting a wealth of evidence, as well as suggestions for new treatment possibilities for mental health problems, Dr. Sanderson offers a comprehensive examination of spirit existence and the survival of consciousness after death.Trade Review“In today’s world our understanding of the universe, and the very existence of our species, is largely dictated by the findings of physicalist science. Dr. Sanderson brings a very different vision--a spiritual science that transcends physical reality and one that joyfully affirms the healing power of the human spirit. A compelling read for all who question the fundamental meaning and purpose of life on Earth.” * DR. ANDREW POWELL, psychiatrist and author of The Ways of the Soul and Conversations with the Soul *“Beautifully written and meticulously researched, psychiatrist Alan Sanderson shares the journey to his ultimate understanding that we survive death of the physical body. He takes you by the hand and introduces you in a clear, sometimes humorous, way to various subjects proving this. This is a brilliant book by a caring physician. It is a book for everyone, no matter his or her religion, current beliefs, or even knowledge of the subject.” * Edith Fiore, Ph.D., retired clinical psychologist and author of You Have Been Here Before: A Psychol *“Fear of death and the belief that death is the end of consciousness is the greatest neurosis of humanity--a neurosis that has caused and still causes immense and unnecessary suffering. This book has one crucially important message for all of us: we survive death; the body dies but consciousness, or what used to be called the soul, survives; consciousness does not begin and end with the physical brain. The firewall erected between the visible and invisible dimensions of our experience--a firewall created by materialist or physicalist science--tells us that the universe is dead, the soul does not exist, and life has no transcendent meaning. This book offers a welcome release from our imprisonment in these limited beliefs and breaks the spell created by them. We are free to welcome and explore the many anomalous experiences dismissed for centuries by both science and religion. In this anxious time of living through a pandemic, when so many people are dying, this book will bring comfort and reassurance that there is life beyond the death of the body. We owe Alan Sanderson an immense debt of gratitude.” * Anne Baring, author of The Dream of the Cosmos: A Quest for the Soul *“I read Dr. Sanderson’s Psychiatry and the Spirit World with fascination. He has brought together the full range of paranormal psychiatric techniques for curing mental illness. He specializes in spirit release, a therapy that brings healing to the victim by sending the attached or possessing spirit to the light. Using hypnosis, he engages the enraged, confused, or vengeful spirit and frees it. Dr. Sanderson laments that these highly successful techniques are never mentioned in medical schools and are shunned by most practicing psychiatrists, with their patients suffering the loss. The book also engagingly surveys much of the best research pointing to an afterlife. All told, Psychiatry and the Spirit World is a treasure for anyone bold enough to look for a fuller, more beneficial truth beyond the suffocating boundaries of an exclusively materialist science.” * Stafford Betty, Ph.D., author of The Afterlife Therapist and The Afterlife Unveiled *“Can you imagine a psychiatrist who has discovered the spirit world--and found it so valid and so helpful--that it is now a truth used in treatment? Prepare yourself. Miracles follow!” * P.M.H. Atwater, L.H.D., researcher of near-death states for 42 years and author of The Forever Angel *"This book is filled with many thought-provoking case histories, written by a practicing psychiatrist no less. A rare thing." * Brent Raynes, Alternate Perceptions Magazine *

Here the reader will meet forgers, poets, aristocrats, politicians and some less likely residents of the county, including Spring-Heeled Jack whose spectral figure reportedly jumped over Newport Arch and the appearance of an angel in Gainsborough.

All may be found within the pages of this book, bound to delight residents and visitors alike.
