Astral Projection & Sceptical Occultism (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780615702841)

Nick Dutch is a man who has been a long standing New Age Experimental Occultist and has been increasingly more concerned with the progression in the new age movement towards the creation of new religions and cults and not any progression to an understanding of the forces that are at work in any apparently supernatural phenomena. He considers that the phenomena that occultists and magicians speak of are real in the sense that the experiences that they speak of do happen, but what they mean is still largely unknown and this makes us want to ask more questions rather then to provide answers. The more that we move away from trying to scientifically evaluate the phenomena and more towards the creation of new religions, the more that we slow down research into a field of human experience that could, in the long term, have benefits for human health, understanding and communication over a distance. Goals that are truly worth working for! Nick Dutch has been in two witchcraft covens, has been trained in various forms of magical methodologies, is well known on the internet and on various psychic websites and online blogs where he promotes his sceptical occult point of view, does psychic readings and teaches people about magick and psychic reading and has had what he calls "strange experiences" (experiences of an apparently supernatural nature) since childhood. He is probably the best spiritualist in the world today primarily due to the scientific point of view that he takes and he is actively encouraging people to be brave and have the strange experiences that Religious People, Witches, Mediums, Occultists and Magicians claim to have had since the dawn of time, but without needing to be constrained by any faith based dogma. The experiences in question happen. It is our duty as humans, to explore them and try and come closer to the truth one step at a time.
