Using information from the cutting edge of modern science, Peake presents startling evidence that the inner worlds of our mystics and shamans are as real, or possibly even more real, than the reality we experience in waking life. As his starting point, Peake examines the widespread historical belief that the mid-brain's pine-cone shaped pineal gland activates the third eye described by mystics and seers. Through careful analysis of ancient religious texts and artifacts, he gives evidence that the spiritual properties of the pineal gland have been embedded in myths and cultures across the globe. (Why else would the Buddha so often be found wearing a pine cone hat?) Peake then shows that it is through this small organ that we experience lucid dreaming, out-of-body experiences, hypnagogic imagery, near-death experiences, astral travel and the kundalini experience. The book ends with the mind-blowing conclusion that all living beings are one unitary consciousness experiencing itself subjectively.

The Healing Power of Angels is a major and highly original addition to an increasingly popular publishing genre. The book will help readers heal themselves of every kind of stress and dysfunction by tapping into the healing powers of angels. Uniquely, the author presents angels in terms of an inner realm with a distinct spiritual hierarchy: nine levels of angels residing in the three levels of heaven. While based on traditional theology, this system offers a thoroughly effective way for the human mind to grasp the benevolent powers that angels can make available to all of us. The book explains how angelic forces work in the human energy system, especially the chakras, to benefit our personal development and spiritual evolution, and is aimed at everyone who is fascinated and moved by the notion of angels, or is interested in making new discoveries in the realm of the spirit.The Healing Power of Angels is immensely helpful to all healers and all those interested in understanding energy fields.The medititations, affirmations and prayers that punctuate the text provide a practical dimension for interactive work. There are also profound reflections that will change the way we think about ourselves and thus move us much closer to spiritual understanding.
