In Retrocognitions , Brazilian engineer and consciousness researcher Wagner Alegretti analyzes past-life recall in a comprehensive way rarely found in other books on the subject. Many books have been written about memories of past lives, some based on case histories from hypnosis sessions, others based on painstaking research with children who report past lives. But such approaches, while invaluable, can only glimpse at the greater context for this experience. By contrast, Alegretti approaches Retrocognitions from the leading-edge branch of consciousness research called conscientiology, which he has been researching since the early 1980s, in which consciousness (the essence, soul, or ego) is studied from a multidimensional perspective. Primary premises of conscientiology are that consciousness has multiple bodies (physical, energetic, emotional, and mental), and that it has multiple physical existences interspersed with periods when it does not have a physical body. Alegretti elucidates these concepts in a rational, serious, and objective manner, with no mysticism or over-extrapolation, leaving the reader with a much expanded sense of their own nature and purpose. Alegretti's first introduces core concepts about memory and consciousness that lay a foundation for the discussions to come. He then anatomizes all aspects of the retrocognition phenomenon, beginning with an analysis of possible objects of the experience, possible subjects, possible causes, and the varying degrees of certainty that are attainable. He then details related phenomena such as clairvoyance, déjà vu, intuition, and the out-of-body experience. He also registers the states of consciousness within which the phenomenon may be experienced, including dream, nightmare, and hypnotic trance. And he sets out a number of factors that can help induce the experience, including youth; music; emotional states; historical films; scents; being in the hypnagogic state; hypnosis; energetic connection with objects, places, or people; travel; and self-analysis. Beyond the core anatomization, a number of techniques are given for inducing the experience, as well as several means of optimizing one's chances of success. These include energetic techniques that lead to increased mental, emotional, and energetic balance. One of the key themes of the book is that retrocognition's benefits transcend the therapeutic ends to which it is customarily applied. Those benefits include: increasing self-knowledge; making positive intra-personal changes; understanding and improving our relationships; expanding our sense of universalism; and identifying our life objectives (existential program). Yet Alegretti does not see accessing a life from 3000 years ago, for example, as being the optimal means of achieving this. Instead, his premise is that: [w]e grow much more by remembering our last period between lives, than by recovering the memories of several previous, repetitive and semiconscious lives. This can, and should, be the main goal of retrocognition. That is, we can gain a broad perspective on our past and nature by accessing memories of the period prior to our current life, when we were preparing for this current life. By contrast, our physical history is replete with omissions and mistakes that, taken alone, confer few benefits other than to reinforce our shortcomings. The book also offers a refreshingly sane chapter on hypnosis, in which the practice is likened to surgery: an intervention of last resort. Alegretti does not discount its benefits, but he lists several precautions that anyone considering hypnosis should take to guard against having memories that are not their own. Also included is a highly original section on factors that block or inhibit our capacity to remember our past. Alegretti conc

In this work consciousness researcher Wagner Alegretti summarizes more than a decade of research on retrocognitions (reincarnation or past-life recall) and related phenomena including clairvoyance, déjà vu, intuition, and the out-of-body experience (OBE). Extending beyond conventional research and the materialistic paradigm, this book emphasizes retrocognitions produced during OBEs. It also covers the recollection of periods between one human life and another. Alegretti elucidates these concepts in a rational and objective manner, with no mysticism or over-extrapolation. A number of techniques are given for inducing the experience, as well as several means of optimizing one’s chances of success. It is one of the most complete and up-to-date references on this topic, and is an essential reference for anyone wishing to study the phenomenon of retrocognition.

Astral Projection a primer: An introduction to out-of-body experience

Trivellato, Nanci

Occult & Paranormal

Projection allows one to replace belief with knowledge. To believe in the accounts is secondary. What is important is to accept the possibility of extraphysical events. Ideally the interested person should have his or her own experiences. With candid realism, Projections of the Consciousness recounts 60 of the author's most illuminating out-of-body experiences (OBEs, astral projections) from a six-month period in 1979. The unparalleled diversity and richness of the experiences in this volume offer a rare insight into what awaits us beyond the physical dimension. Vieira's experiences include visits to non-physical educational communities, assistance to those who have recently passed away, encounters with highly evolved consciousnesses, and even a total expansion of consciousness (cosmoconsciousness, nirvana). 
 The author's sincerity and objectivity stand out as hallmarks of this book, as does the quality of his analysis and conclusions. Each chapter is packed with invaluable tips, insights, and recommendations that will help motivated readers produce lucid, controlled experiences: indeed this is one of the book's core objectives. 
 Now in its third edition in English and its seventh in the original Portuguese, this work remains as important today as it was when first published, and is one of the classics in the genre. The book's initial publication marked a new phase in the life of the author, during which he launched two new fields to investigate consciousness beyond the physicalist worldview: projectiology and conscientiology. As a testament to the book's significance, today fourteen organizations exist globally whose purpose is centered on deepening humanity's understanding and application of those two new fields. 
 This edition features a complete revision of the translation and a new foreword by Wagner Alegretti, author of Retrocognitions. It also includes a full glossary of technical terms, to help interested readers initiate a more serious, scientific study of the subject.
