"The Experience of Hallucinations in Religious Practice," written by
R.S. Pearson, will be published on December 15, 2005 by Telical Books
of Seattle, Washington.

"The Experience of Hallucinations in Religious Practice" claims to be
perhaps the only book of its kind published today that deals
specifically with the so-called paranormal experiences that one can
experience in religious practice when they are coming from an internal
source. The author said that when he was younger on the path he
always looked for more information on this topic but it was impossible
to find.

The 42-year old author of this book became very mystically inclined as
a teenager,
after having a normal and athletic childhood. A reason for this
mystical inclination happening so early was perhaps the death of a
childhood best friend due to leukemia. After reading books on
levitating yogis and the miracles of the saints, he believed it really
was possible for some people to develop special abilities that very
few others shared. He had a number of spiritual teachers, ranging
from the "psychic Hindu astrologer" of New York's Studio 54, to a mild-
mannered community college teacher of electronics who was a pupil of
an arcane school for physical alchemy in the Southwest United States,
founded by someone who called himself "Frater Albertus." When the
esoteric roller coaster got too intense, he joined more traditional
Judeo-Christian churches.

Pearson began having the same experiences that he read about in books,
from bizarre experiences like he was traveling through time to
experiences of what seemed like angelic visitations. He enjoyed what
he considered at the time was a link with this unseen world, but since
it ultimately did not seem to have a beneficial effect on him, he
began to question it. Pearson came from a household that contained
some scientifically-trained members, and he knew how to be objective
about certain things, so he decided to dismiss much of the
experiences, which still maintaining his basic faith in spirituality.

"It has become more and more clear to me that what most of the
traditional religious leaders say about paranormal experiences, should
be followed. Whether it be Zen Buddhist monks, or Yogis, or
Christians or Jews, most people say not to make much of so-called
paranormal experiences. Seeing or hearing things that may only exist
in the mind is always said to be a dangerous phenomena. It has only
been in the last thirty years or so that we have been able to see
clearly by brain science that most of these things actually are taking
place in the brain. One can see the danger of believing in a
philosophical idea that makes one believe more and more in one's own
hallucinations, which are very similar in the brain to what dreams
are. I personally believe there are certain real divine experiences
that do not only take place in our mind, ones which may have a special
reason for us to experience. I think these real divine experiences
are less sensationalistic then the kind so many people seem to be
after."

Pearson has done some charitable work among the homeless of Seattle
and he recognizes that many of the homeless are mentally ill and are
experiencing hallucinations. "Most likely the homeless who are
hallucinating are believing that they are having religious experience.
Often they already feel condemned by God because they hallucinate God
condemning them." He realizes that since there was no book written
when he was younger on this subject, that a book like his fills an
important need. He says, that, on the contrary, only books were
written encouraging people to hallucinate.

Pearson states, "I tried to write this book for the biggest audience
possible. I state clearly up front that I am not a trained
psychologist. Some proofreaders were expecting me to write an
academic book that referenced every statement, but many readers are
intimidated by such books. I wrote a book that will inform most
people's understanding of psychology but one which has barely any
technical medical information on the structures of the brain and so
forth, so as to not intimidate people in the reading process."

Today, a large percentage of religious thought encourages people to
have extra-sensory experiences. Medical science has also proven both
the value of religious faith in some people via statistical studies,
and also the fact that some religious experiences fall into the same
category as hallucinations or dreams. Because of the many popular
celebrity psychics, some of whom even talk to the dead on TV, many
come to believe that whatever you experience is what you imagine it to
be. But for one who was taught by many different religious teachers,
and did a detailed study of religious literature, Pearson felt it
necessary to write about the other side of the picture. "Many are
going to have to learn by personal experience that it's often best to
not believe in these experiences," Pearson says. "The problem is,
that there are psychological studies that show the longer that you
hallucinate, the more your IQ can decrease. I hope that they can wake
up from their dreams before it's too late."
