Listening to Your Secret Self: The ‘Daemon’ Spirit Who Guides Our Lives

Mesmer believed that the universe is full of ‘magnetism’. His magnetic force was similar to that of electrical magnetism, the effects and potentials of which were being discovered at the time. He considered his magnetism to be an invisible fluid that influenced all living things. To differentiate his version from ferromagnetism he termed his force

Bohm’s solution was simple and logical. We have been wrongly interpreting the nature of matter and the universe itself. The message never travelled across space and time at all because both these constructs are an illusion brought about by the brain. In fact the two particles were really one particle all the time and as such they both ‘knew’ what w

The implications of this Bohm–Pribram holographic theory of reality are simply staggering; the universe is a vast hologram that is processed by an observer’s brain which is, in itself, a hologram that contains the whole universe! Is this what the non-scientific, but profoundly perceptive, philosopher Broad was trying to explain when he made the fol

It is reasonable to conclude, and many psychologists do conclude, that the ‘person’ who is speaking during a hypnotic session is in fact the non-dominant hemisphere of the brain. Thus by hypnotising a person we can communicate directly with their hidden self.

Welcome to a secret that has been known for at least 3,000 years. A secret that is a part of all the great esoteric traditions – that the human being is a binary, not a unitary, intelligence.

We all have a right and left hippocampus, a right and left amygdala and a right and left thalamus. The exception is the pineal gland that sits in splendid and mysterious isolation.

The laws of physics tell us that the very building blocks of what we see as solid matter are, in fact, insubstantial points of energy. These are aggregated together by the act of observation into an indistinct holographic image – analogous to a three-dimensional holographic picture before it is illuminated by laser light. In this case, the illumina

Under normal circumstances the Daemon and the Eidolon sit watching the film in total darkness. They sit next to each other but only the Daemon knows what is going to happen. On top of that the Eidolon is totally unaware that its silent neighbour is even there. However, under certain circumstances the Daemon can communicate with its lower partner. T

For the ancient Greeks the Eidolon was exactly as I use it in my first book – the lower, everyday ‘self’. By implication this means that there is a Higher Self that is a reflection of the gods. This being was called the ‘Daemon’ and I have continued to use this term to describe the part of us that knows that we have lived this life before.
