A Divided Self in Line with Nietzsche: 19th Century Theory Intersects with 21st Century Consciousness Studies

Nineteenth Century German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) had a pet theory:  That although Christianity and its morality were bankrupt,  and its promise of heaven empty,  there could yet  be a new morality which would rise from the ashes,  based on the body and science,  and which would be keeping with the modern theories and advances.  The problem:  What of heaven?  Then it came to him,  in a flash of theoretical genius:  We might live a life exactly like this human and flesh bound one we know and cherich,  through a series of "recurrences".  Thus was his "Eternal Return" theory born.  He defended it and treasured it, and fussed over it like a new born infant.  Over a century after his death,  Mr. Anthony Peake just may have proven it.

Through his theoretical essay,  "Cheating the Ferryman",  published by the Journal of Near Death studies in 2005,  Anthony Peake (b. April 1954,  Wirral,  England)  gained entry throught the portals where science and academic humanities disciplines converge to create new alchemical entities.  Now,  in 2009,  with 2 globally well-received books under his belt,  Peake is something of a Nietzschean philospher's dream:  He has crafted a philosophically and scientifically sound theory,  using neurology,  brain studies,  quantum  physcis, the Implicate Oder of David Bohm,  and cognitive psychology,  which supports Nietzsche better than anyone else's work has done to date.

Acedemics or laymen who find this fascintating should seek out his texts,  which are discussed on his website:  http://www.anthonypeake.com/.  Or better yet,  come hear him lecture.  His next appearance in the U.S. is in a free public lecture and recption at the Roosevelt Hotel in Midtown,  on Monday August 3 @ 6 p.m.  Open to press and public, admission is free.
