Hallucinations are usually defined as percepts not based on reality. “Reality” is, of course, never defined in this context. It is merely assumed that it consists of the ‘objective’ material world, dispersed within the time-space realm. The main thesis of this book is that the time-space-matter package is not objective, and that it is a kind of hallucination itself. In particular, we (as embodied humans) are hallucinations; we hallucinate ourselves into existence. We support these claims through scientific results, and by presenting many anecdotal cases, chosen from the vast library of recorded events, many of which containing veridical elements.

Hallucinations are usually regarded by the orthodox medical science as symptoms of pathology: it is assumed that something must be amiss with your mental or physical health if you spontaneously experience a hallucination. Since it has been statistically shown that majority of people experience at least one hallucination during their lifetimes, in practice the diagnosis that there is an underlying mental deficiency that triggers the hallucination is not automatic: you will be generously proclaimed as being normal if you yourself dismiss the experience as being a pseudo-hallucination (an inconsequential emanation of your brain that failed to fool you), or a dream.

We show that in many cases it is logically impossible to dismiss the hallucinations as being sourced in the brain. There are many reasons to claim this, and we list a few that we cover in this book.

There are crisis-hallucinations; we cover them in chapters 3 and 4. A prime examples of such hallucinations are the ones experienced by dying people. The un-sedated dying people often report hallucinations. In most of these cases they perceive either previously deceased relatives or friends, or entities interpreted as angels. The consistency of their experiences is one element that does not fit the claim that their perceptions were based on random fantasies of clouded brains. More importantly, there are many veridical cases, when the dying people perceive relatives or friends who had died but whose deaths were unknown to the dying. There are also a few exceptional cases when the apparitions perceived by the dying people were also seen by other people at the same time. About the only way to explain such cases and still to adhere to the materialistic viewpoint is to proclaim that every one of these cases is apocryphal.

There are also many instances when animated holographic images of humans manifested as hallucinations to healthy people who were unaware of their deaths. In quite a few of these cases the manifesting dead people talked to the perceivers and gave information beyond the knowledge normally accessible to them.

In Chapter 4 we cover out-of-body experiences (OBE), near-death-experiences (NDE), cases of so-called reincarnation, and cases of possession. There are many such examples containing veridical elements, and so not easily dismissible as fantasies. Also, the consistency of, say, the onset of near-death experiences is mind-boggling: virtually all experiencers pass through a tunnel leading to a place of supernatural, loving bright light. For example, we have the case if a dying toddler who reported how he had crawled through the tunnel in order to reach the light, virtually proving that the experience of passing through the tunnel is not based on acquired knowledge.

Well authenticated group hallucinations, experienced simultaneously by at least two people, are especially damning to the claim that hallucinations are sourced in our brains. In some cases that we provide there were hundreds of people simultaneously perceiving the same hallucination. There are some truly fantastic anecdotes of such type, challenging just about every materialistic dogma. We devote a long chapter (Chapter 5) to group hallucinations.
In chapters 6, 7 and 8 we consider the time-space-matter package, and we give many anecdotes as well as scientifically obtained results indicating that their objectiveness is no more than a dogma based on the materialistic paradigm.

In chapter 6 we give examples showing that the standard view of time and space is illusory. This is how far we go regarding “time” in the context of hallucinations. In order to provide a positive answer to the question “What is time?” much more attention is needed. That would be my next project.

In chapter 7 and 8 we postulate that the common view of “matter”, hitherto mostly considered to be a good reference point with respect to which we define our actions, is also illusory. These two chapters are especially relevant with regard to our thesis that our perception of matter, including of our bodies, is as much hallucinatory as common apparitions. With that we claim that virtually all basic properties of matter are of dubious veridicality. In particular, we provide many examples, including scientifically obtained results, denying the so-called solidity of matter, as well as the objectiveness of gravitation. The claim that matter is malleable by the action of mind is an ancient thesis, appearing multiple times in Vedic texts.

We point out again that, throughout our narrative we support the anecdotal cases with available scientific results. In many cases these scientific experiments have been ignored or pooh-poohed by the scientific establishment acting as gatekeepers of materialistic dogmas.

In Hallucinate! I include many of my own experiences that could be interpreted as being paranormal. These include cases of action of mind over matter, apports, as well as numerous instances of hallucinating scenes, some of which had veridical elements.

One of our main theses regarding hallucinations is that in at least some of the cases they are sourced in higher plane of existence, or in the domain of pure consciousnesses. Accepting this implies that hallucinations are windows through which we can take peeks at the reality beyond the illusory world of our basic perceptions.

Ever since my first visual hallucination in 2007, when I saw a ghost in my bedroom, I tried to repeat the experience by mimicking the condition of this first hallucination. Since I accepted the thesis that at least some of hallucination are not generated solely by myself, I also invoked the help of entities from higher planes of existence; I assume they play an important role. However, in this life, one can never be certain what exactly is the mechanism that gives rise to hallucinations. What seems to be certain is that in order to perceive hallucinations, one needs to achieve some level of altered sate of consciousness, the simplest, and likely the safest, being the hypnagogic state that happens on the boundary between waking and sleeping state of mind.

In Chapter 9 I describe hundreds of hallucinating scenes that I have experienced and recorded.

My experience with hallucinations ended in 2023; the last one happened on my birthday, at the time when I was finishing this book. As if some sentient entity chose that day purposely to make the point that, having completed the writing of this book, there was no more reason for supplying hallucinations.

This book was motivated by events surrounding the loss of my first daughter.
