I recommend Frank Demarco’s book “The Sphere and the Hologram”.
Edited: Just took a peek. Looks interesting.
Just finished reading it.
Book description
The Sphere and the Hologram recounts an extraordinary three-way partnership, that produced extraordinary results. The physical end of the collaboration involved two people: Rita Warren, a Ph.D. professor of psychology who, after her retirement, spent four years directing The Monroe Institute’s laboratory, helping volunteers to achieve and explore altered mental states under controlled conditions, and Frank DeMarco, an author, former journalist and co-founder of the Hampton Roads Publishing Co., Inc., who had learned to bring forth messages from the other side.
The nonphysical end involved what DeMarco calls “the guys upstairs,” a group whose composition changes from time to time, depending upon subject matter and other variables. Together, in the summer of 2001, they began a series of weekly sessions in which DeMarco entered an altered state and Warren asked questions that had interested her for years, questions for which the volunteers she had quizzed had been unable to provide satisfactory answers. What is the nature and purpose of life? Is there a God? Is there an afterlife, and if so, what is it like? What is the truth behind crop circles, UFOs, etc? In short, how does the world function?
As it turned out, the guys upstairs were more than willing to share what they know. Using a combination of explanation, analogy, pointed questions, jokes, and thought experiments, they set out to answer anything that could be asked–and their fascinating series of conversations may help you change your life.
I’m posting the table of contents to show the depth and variety of topics the authors present.

About Hologram Books
I haven’t read any of Demarco’s more recent books. Probably some (much?) of those books’ material can be found on his 667 page blog, still active. I’ve browsed only a few of his posts.
What sets apart “The Sphere and the Hologram” is that the conversation with “the guys upstairs” was conducted by Rita, an 80 year old psychologist with credentials, heavily into New Age spirituality, which made her an ideal incredulous questioner, who often couldn’t understand explanations, drew wrong conclusions, was reluctant that “the guys upstairs” didn’t confirm her beliefs. None of the major channels, like Roberts and Hicks, did benefit of such a framework.
Demarco’s channeled material (from “The Sphere and the Hologram”) is much less prolix, and more direct than any other I’ve seen, Seth’s included.
Looks interesting. Thanks for the copy and paste contents overview.
I must thank you for this introduction to Frank DeMarco and Rita Warren. I am very pleased by their level of discourse. Beautiful!
I’m just getting started with the material but it already feels familiar. Thank you.
You’re both welcome.
These are a few interesting entries in DeMarco’s blog channeling Rita
