until it became larger and larger, and then move through it, the OOBE state was achieved. In slow motion, it “felt as if one were going through a tunnel to get to the light,” a classic description that has been brought forth by many who performed the OOBE inadvertently or in a near-death situation. One new development was the key that opened many things for us. We now call it the Hemi-Sync process. Science has long known that your brain is divided into two halves, or hemispheres. But only in recent years has it been discovered that these two halves are entirely different in the functions they perform. There is still controversy about the theory as to details. Most of the time, we think only with our “left brain.” When we use our “right brain,” it is primarily to support the action of the left. Otherwise, we do our best to ignore it. In function, the nerve signals from these brain halves act in an X crossover. The left brain controls the right side of the body, and the right brain controls the left. We are primarily a right-handed civilization, dominated by our left brains. Only in the last fifty years have left-handers been accepted as “equals.” In many ways, we still discriminate against left-handers. Did you know that a pair of scissors is a right-handed tool? We use the left brain to talk and read, to do mathematics, to reason deductively, to remember detail, to measure time, among many other facets—the source of logical, rational thought. It “knows” nothing else. Our right brain is the originator of ideas, spatial sense, intuition, music, emotion, and probably much more than we now realize. It is timeless, apparently with a language all its own. One of the best descriptions given to illustrate the difference is with a reel of movie film. To determine the content, the left brain will put it on a projector, show the movie on a screen, and thus be informed. The right brain will pick up the roll of film, hold it for a moment, then put it down and say, “Oh, I understand.” Ridiculous! That’s your left brain’s reaction as you use it to read these words. It simply doesn’t compute—by left-brain standards. Basically, we are a half-brained society. Virtually everything we
