PART TWO: A MULTIDIMENSIONAL MODEL OF THE RELEASED STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS

Christian J Hallman, Ph.D.

ABSTRACT

Astral proj(;'ction and ollf-of-body (;'xperiencc are two phenomena that vcry few researchers of conscious­ ness have ancmptcd to really understand. Although numerous people of multiple cuirures from all over the world have reported these phenomena, epistemologists have yet to formulate any satisfactory theories or models that map out rhese experiences. This paper provides a working model of these experiences by urilizing multiple dimensions of motion, space and rime. Besides sensation and imagination, a vital ability of perceprion that is highly emphasized in this multidimensional model is emotion.
