Sight Beyond Light: Achieving Better Personal Relationships Communications and Dialogue

By Mel Meckler

Author begins by explaining the key elements of Professor Bohm's own interpretation of quantum theory as applied to the human condition. It includes a discussion on memory, perception, emotion, personal relationships and dialogue experienced by some individuals under extraordinary circumstances e.g. telepathy or an out-of-body near-death experience, For example, during World War I, Ernest Hemingway was wounded by shrapnel while fighting on the banks of the river Piave, near Fossalta, Italy. He convalesced in Milan. In a letter from there to his family, he made the following cryptic statement: "Dying is a very simple thing. I've looked at death and really I know." Years later, Hemingway was reported to have told a friend that he vividly recalled what had occurred on that fateful night in 1918: "A big Austrian trench mortar bomb, of the type that used to be called ash cans, exploded in the darkness. I died then. I felt my soul or something coming right out of my body, like you'd pull a silk handkerchief out of a pocket by one corner. It flew around and then came back and went in again and I wasn't dead anymore". Hemingway was understood to have remained deeply affected by this out-of-body near-death experience throughout his life, and was never quite the same again. In his novel entitled "Farewell To Arms his Frederic Henry undergoes the same confrontation with death that Hemingway experienced and remarks: "I tried to breathe but my breath would not come and I felt myself rush bodily out of myself and out and out and out and all the time bodily in the wind. I went out swiftly, all of myself, and I knew I was dead. Then I floated, and instead of going on I felt myself slide back. I breathed and I was back."
