About this ebook
"Anthony Peake is engaged in one of the most important strands of ontological inquiry of modern times, nothing less than unravelling the Gordian knot that is the mystery of our existence." - Bob Rickard, founder editor of Fortean Times
Appearing in Greek mythology and popularised by Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy, the Daemon is broadly understood as a guiding spirit which exists as one half of your split self.
In The Daemon: A Guide to Your Extraordinary Secret Self, Anthony Peake proposes that people consist of not one but two separate consciousnesses - everyday consciousness and that of The Daemon, a higher being that seems to possess knowledge of future events. Drawing upon phenomena such as déjà vu and Near-Death Experiences, he explores the ways that our Daemon breaks through into our consciousness and can subconsciously impact upon our decisions.
From the author of Is There Life After Death?, this endlessly fascinating book draws upon the neurology, metaphysics and theology. It also follows the stories of famous figures, including Byron, Geothe, Jean Cocteau and many others, who have 'felt a force outside themselves'. This radical book will change the way you perceive reality, time and ultimately yourself.

I was already into the concept of the mythological daemon, but this book really makes you ponder if it is more than simply myth. More books like this deserve to be written.

It's like when you do something that you normally never would do like forget your billfold or your keys and you have to go back and you didn't realize that that little nick of time actually changed your whole life or saved it but why did you forget that's the clue to look at, or why did you do something different that time when it made all the difference? If your a meditator you'll definitely understand what this book is about, if you've already experienced that part of the self also known as The observer.
