Introducing Light Body Theory, an intellectual framework for scientists and academics who want to normalize expanded consciousness.
By establishing Light Body awareness as normal and valid, the book guides the reader to explore the implications of non-local intelligence for coalition building, mental health, politics, and child development. Applying this framework, it discusses the potential for cultural disruption from popular media and AI technology.
The book is organized into four parts. The first part encourages scientists, academics, and tech people who are on the fence about trusting their own experience and the science of psi phenomena. Next is an outline for applying an adaptationist perspective of evolutionary psychology and anthropology to understand how our intelligence may use non-local information. The middle sections are intended to be a reference for scientists to use in their own research. The last part applies these theories to brainstorm about what's happening in the world today, particularly the potential harm from AI and runaway technology.
The book is intended to galvanize people in the tech industry with scientists in the academic fray of consciousness research.
"Many of you practice subtle energy techniques or learn from channeled wisdom sources in secret. Some of you have tried hallucinogenics and want help incorporating new truths into your daily lives. Some of you embrace religion as a comforting, time-tested source of guidance for inner navigation, while others are "spiritual but not religious" because you've learned to trust your own knowing in private. I can provide you with a breath of fresh air that will validate your experience and support you to keep exploring." -- Light Body Human Universal excerpt from page 2

Review :
"The author offers an earnest and spirited argument over the course of the book, and his ideas will be of interest to some readers." - Kirkus Reviews
"A thought-provoking book, perfect for academics interested in humanity and expanding the mind." - The Wishing Shelf Book Awards
"Light Body Human Universal proposes an intriguing idea that will leave you wondering whether there is more to your inner experiences and connections with others than you previously thought." - Jessica Utts, PhD, Professor Emerita of Statistics, UC Irvine, evaluated remote viewing data for the CIA in 1995
"I found the last two chapters, Evolutionary Mismatch and What Could Go Wrong? to be particularly interesting. Regarding the former, we often discuss how humanity transitioned from animal skins to a suit and tie, and how we seem to have managed these transitions effectively. But it seems that our emotional intelligence has not kept up with the demands of these new interactions. And I had not thought about how our subtle bodies must figure in for this "upgraded" job. Regarding the latter, I am concerned about massively integrated AI systems with billions of "neural" network nodes learning to adjust their own inner structures as if conscious. And in particular, it is also possible that people interacting with these structures with such strong personal fields (light bodies, as you say) might jumpstart that process by "breathing life" into them to start their own ability to adjust." - Herb Mertz, author of The Selection Effect: How Consciousness Shapes Reality, former PEAR consultant, & co-founder of Psyleron Inc.
"Light Body Human Universal is a remarkable and illuminating work that brings into sharp focus many dimensions of human consciousness that are often explored in isolation across other sources. What makes this book stand out is its ability to weave these strands together into a coherent, carefully constructed narrative that feels both grounded and expansive." - Steven May, founder of Presume Competence Facebook group
"It reminds me of ways I have trained my light body over the years. While it has become mostly unconscious how and when I manipulate it, the book reminds me of how I use it for both protection when necessary and as a tool to change the environment I am in at any given time." - Mark Moser, admin of "Working With I Am the Word" Facebook group
