About the Book
Title: Revelations from Outside the Box
Author: Peter Schmedding
Genre: Mind, Body & Spirit
How often do we wish
we could say what we really feel in our guts? Do we ever feel free from
restraints that stifle our true emotions and thoughts into oblivion? How long
will we remain in denial of the effects of our evermore toxic world?
Revelations from
Outside the Box brings into our awareness the unknown traps that secretly
compromise our view of reality, undermine our conversations and ever so often
lead to disagreements and hostility.
This book questions
what we perceive and accept as reality. Relating a string of events that were
observed in real life report factors, although they are the causes of untold,
needless suffering, that we commonly ignore.
In the introduction to
Revelations from Outside the Box we already get a glance of what the book is trying
to tell us. An episode shows how a family of three people live in the same
household and, by closer examination, in the way they see each other are miles
apart. It also suggests how a simple adjustment not only prevents such
estrangement but rather fosters a sound and productive relationship, in this
case, between father and son.
Beyond the primary
purpose this book describes certain arcane happenings of the human mind. It
asks the question, could it be that there is a wellspring of wisdom that could
benefit us all? A hypothetical time travel over a couple of hundreds of years
gives us yet more food for us thinking outside the box.

Author Bio
After working in the media for 25 years, Peter
Schmedding retired and for another 25 years devoted himself to children’s preparation
for adulthood. This fulfilled his lifelong dream to give to the young the
nurture and support that he never received during his growing up years.
Paradoxically, it was Peter’s emotionally and academically impoverished
childhood that taught him, from the inside out, how such neglect damages the
personality. Later in life Peter studied different philosophies of mental
health and psychotherapy. He worked as a counsellor for many years. He lectured
and presented papers on respective topics locally and overseas. Now, in his
advancing years, he writes from personal experiences in a long and adventurous
life.

Book Excerpt
The Galileos
of our time. In
1610, Galileo Galilei, an Italian astronomer published his findings that the
earth moves around the sun. With the aid of an improved new telescope, he had
gathered the evidence by observing the phases on Venus and the moving moons of
Saturn. This supported without doubt the earlier discoveries of Polish
astronomer Copernicus.
At
that time, the idea that the sun moved around the earth, which was then
considered the centre of the universe, was an accepted fact. It crashed head-on
with Galileo’s model. Religious authorities saw this as an opposition to the
Holy Scriptures, and in 1633 called Galileo before the inquisition, and accused
him of heresy. Consequently, Galileo had to withdraw his findings and was
confined to house arrest for the remainder of his life.
History
has a habit of repeating itself.
Not
so much behind closed doors as behind closed minds a revolution is taking
place. It puts a new understanding on everything that concerns our beliefs,
consciousness and reality. Previously, rather unknown names joined the
ever-growing numbers of scientists, thinkers and innovators threatening to
upset our common worldview. This may introduce a new paradigm into the fate of
mankind altogether.
“The
universe is a symphony of vibrating strings,” declared quantum physicist D.
Michio Kaku. Professor Brian Greene, a theoretical physicist, wrote a 400-page
book on String Theory, a theory that promises to become the most prominent
theory since General Relativity. He explains how the Hadron Collider might one
day reveal that string theory with its extra dimensions is supported by
evidence. Dr John Hagelin, a particle physicist, explains how we are all
connected, reminding us of Carl Jung’s Universal Unconscious.
The
insights of this revolution lie within the subatomic field and, therefore, as a
rule most of us are not able to acquire the relevant knowledge by ourselves. We
have to trust those who have spent their lives investigating such factors. Then
it is up to us to take it on trust or discard it as nonsense. Either way this
is how we create our reality. Looking further ahead, however, this new
understanding would blaringly expose the absurdities, the tragedies—accepted
realities at this time in history—that feed headlines around the globe.
Furthermore, it would expose the irresponsible behaviour of our planet’s
self-proclaimed most intelligent beings, the human race.
We
cannot expect this new worldview—or rather consciousness view—to take a
foothold in society in the near future. It is unlikely to be accepted until
future generations take hold of it.
