Daemon

Anthony Peake's first book, Is There Life After Death?: The Extraordinary Science of What Happens When We Die, cause a considerable stir. In The Daemon: A Guide to Your Extraordinary Secret Self, Peake expands on one of the most enigmatic areas of his previous book, the proposition that all consciously aware beings consist of not one but two separate consciousnesses - everyday consciousness and that of The Daemon, a higher being that seems to possess knowledge of future events. Integral to this book are the stories of many famous artists, poets, politicians, musicians and scientists who have felt 'a force outside themselves', including Winston Churchill, Byron, Geothe, Jean Cocteau and many others. 'In Harry Potter there is a witch who owns a magic book you can't stop reading Anthony Peake apparently had met this witch and tickled her secret out of her - a brilliant and mind-boggling book.' MICHAEL MAAR, visiting professor of Comparative Literature at Stanford University, in praise of Anthony Peake's Is There Life After Death?
