The Vibrational State
Summary
About the author Maverick Vardøger, at the age of 30, began spontaneously experiencing out-of-body experiences more commonly known as astral projections. For three years, he has developed and tested numerous techniques, corroborated various features of astral projection, and has meticulously provided debriefs from each experience in The Astral Log. About the book The Vibrational State: Three Years of Out of Body Experiences, provides an in-depth study of Vardøger's extensive experiences and observations of astral travel. The Vibrational State contains a detailed entry point for anyone new to astral projection as well as extensive observations and methods for the benefit of intermediate to advanced astral travelers. Vardøger presents unique philosophical ideas regarding the possible structure of non-physical awareness and the human condition. Related topics under examination include astral projection, near-death experiences, out-of-body experiences, cosmic consciousness, religious phenomena, philosophy, and deep meditative states. Is astral projection a true out-of-body experience or some type of vivid hallucination? Vardøger asks and explores these same questions throughout his incredibly detailed account of more than 52 documented experiences spanning over more than three years. From the back cover: My first astral experience randomly occurred on February 29, 2016. Before this experience, I had never heard of astral projection or out-of-body experiences. On this occasion, I awoke in the middle of the night with intense feelings of vibrations surging like electricity through my body. It sounded like a generator was rumbling inside my head. I had no idea what was happening. I had never experienced anything like it before. After the sensation ended, I immediately wrote down what happened so I would never forget. I never expected it would happen again.... The vibrational state is a sensation of vibrations or energy that is experienced in the head and body. It is painless and not physically audible. This occurs in the state between asleep and awake, where conscious awareness is present. These vibrations are the common precursor to the out of body experience called astral projection. What is astral projection? Is it a lucid, hyper-realistic dream? Is it an actual out of body experience? These are the ultimate questions that are explored and investigated in The Vibrational State. Included are over 52 experiences spanning from 2016 through 2019. Each experience has been meticulously detailed along with related methods, tips, and extended analysis of the phenomenon known as The Vibrational State. “With over 50 precisely documented personal examples noted in his Astral Log, Maverick Vardøger both confirms the familiar details reported by frequent travelers and calms the apprehensions of those that are new to the experience. Through detailed descriptions attesting to the power and diversity of the vibrational state, the author continues with instructions that will show the reader how to use the vibrations as an effective tool to achieve out-of-body goals. Also included are practical tips and simple methods to enhance the entire non-physical experience.” (William Buhlman, author of Adventures Beyond the Body) MaverickVardoger.com

This book also discusses the problem of conversion to Judaism and the case of apostasy. Both of these issues have far reaching impact for American Jews as well as Jewish communities throughout the world.

Enoch Rising
Summary
Few Biblical figures are as intriguing and mysterious as Enoch. He is mentioned only a few times in the canonical Hebrew Bible, but the impact of his story went on to affect the theology of many books written during the Second Temple Era. It also set the foundation for the development of many of the ideas found in the early Christian movement. Enoch’s importance continued beyond the destruction of the Temple and survived in a new form in later rabbinic tradition. Anyone familiar with classical Judaism, the religion of the Bible and the Talmud, who has read the New Testament might experience a disconnect between it and the Hebrew Bible. Something is missing so to speak. Understanding the literature of the Second Temple period is critical to providing the missing links to understanding and appreciating the complex environment of evolving Jewish thought and the emergence of the early Christian movement from its sources. Discover the mystery of Enoch, and the fascinating impact it had on the development of Judaism and Christianity.
