About the Author:
Originally from Australia, Sandie Gustus has resided in several countries and currently lives and works in Surrey in the U.K. Having spent several years in pursuit of self-knowledge, in 2001 Sandie began studying at the London office of the International Academy of Consciousness, an organization associated with the work of Waldo Vieira MD (recognized by Who's Who in the 21st Century [2002] as one of the world's foremost researchers of the consciousness). The information and personal experiences that followed had such a profound effect on her life that she left Geneva where she was working with the United Nations and moved to London to volunteer and teach at the IAC. Sandie has published numerous articles on the out-of-body experience, bioenergy and related phenomena in the U.K. and internationally.
Review:
This is one of the greatest books I’ve ever been given because it is the summary of my whole process, in English . . . accessible to most people.
Waldo Vieira, MD
Consciousness Researcher and Author, Projectiology: A Panorama of Experiences of The Consciousness Outside The Human Body; and Projections of the Consciousness
This is an important book for those who are curious about the possibility of the existence of other levels of consciousness besides that of the purely physical body. It is based on the research of Waldo Vieira which includes a very large number of personal experiences, particularly out of body experiences, collected throughout his life. Sandie Gustus is excellently placed to describe Vieira’s discoveries as she has been practicing and teaching his theories for many years and has considerable personal knowledge of a range of energetic and paranormal phenomena. The book provides practical methods for inducing out of body experiences and using them to increase our understanding of the nonphysical components of our conscious experience.

If, like me, you have not had a lucid out-of-body experience, I invite you to enjoy this compelling book that credibly argues the case for life beyond the physical body with an open mind.

Author, Consciousness Beyond Life: The Science of the Near-Death Experience
Sandie Gustus has written a provocative and eloquent book focused on those aspects of exceptional human experience that are often overlooked, and even derided and pathologized by mainstream science, medicine, and media. However, these accounts are ignored at society's risk because they can not help but enlarge and enrich the boundaries of the human condition.

Any comprehensive understanding of consciousness requires incisive tools for studying the subjective aspects of human experience. The careful and systematic assessment of out-of-body experiences described in this book comprises a valuable scientific resource for approaching this complex and difficult challenge, as well as providing a potentially productive path for self-exploration and personal growth.
