The Vehram Energy System: Proof of Life After Death

by
Vessen E. Hopkins

Introduction

Is there life after death?

A growing number of people, perhaps yourself among them, have already answered this timeless
question for themselves. Your own life's experiences may have confirmed this truth in ways that,
although not necessarily provable to someone else, needn't require independent confirmation for the sake
of your own knowing.
For many people, however, unequivocal proof that the soul lives beyond the life-span of the physical
body has thus far eluded unequivocal confirmation. The challenges presented by this age-old enigma
would require us to see beyond our visible horizons, beyond the physical realm, to unveil the mysteries
we once viewed as supernatural and somehow render them in a framework consistent with natural laws
governing scientifically measurable phenomena.
This book was written specifically to address the questions surrounding an emerging science behind
the bio-external ethereal array, the Vehram Energy System, and to explain the concepts behind what
could well be the key to unlocking mankind's ultimate capabilities. The established principles governing
this energy system represent the first scientific based proof that, not only is consciousness independent of
the brain and survives bodily death, but is an immortal entity with power over creation itself.
Much more scientific research needs to be done in order for this to be accepted among mainstream
scientific circles, and hopefully the publication of this information will help promote that process.
Based on more than 15 years of private research into the behavior of this universal ethereal power, I
have attempted to express the principles as observed through personal interactions as well as those
reported by others who have experienced and/or used the Vehram Array to achieve the out-of-body
experience, as well as to incorporate the latest scientific research into various related fields of science,
including physics, quantum physics and neuroscience.
It would appear that even though this energy system has a spiritual purpose, it is intimately tied to
physical reality, or more likely, physical reality is intimately tied to the ethereal.
The Vehram Energy System may well represent the dawn of a new era in human history. If this power
truly exists for all of us, no longer can we deny that spiritual reality is a part of our existence. No longer
can science dismiss the existence of the soul, nor can we hide behind the excuse that such things are
“unmeasurable.” Anyone can access this incredible ethereal power, and science has already defined
many of the laws governing it.
 The Beginning

In the summer of 1991, I had just finished my sophomore year in high school. I was enjoying a much
needed break and took a trip to the bookstore to see if I could find a good adventure novel to whittle away
the hours on a hot July afternoon.
Inside the book-store I came across my first how-to guide on out-of-body experiences, a brilliant little
tome titled, “Out-of-Body Adventures: 30 Days to the Most Exciting Experiences of Your Life,” by Rick
Stack. The title was immediately captivating. I had read a book in English class that, although a purely
fictional account, was nonetheless a mesmerizing tale centered around out-of-body experiences. And
here was a book professing to actually teach a person how to leave their body in 30 days or less!
I took it home, read it cover to cover in the first day, and at least four times more in the next week. I
could hardly believe that such a thing was really possible. You wonder if these experiences are simply
the product of dreams, or worse, psychosomatic symptoms.
I wasn't easily convinced. Fear of being duped, allowing myself to actually get caught up in a fantasy,
caused me to keep a rather skeptical outlook, but I was willing to give it a chance. I figured if my first
experience was less than compelling, at least I gave it a shot and could walk away knowing there was
nothing to it.
On the other hand, people from all walks of life had reported such events, most commonly Native
American Indian shamans and mystics from eastern cultures. I had a girlfriend who once told me that she
used to astral project and did so in a group. After each person had come back to their body, they could
accurately describe one another's experience.
I was still a bit skeptical, though - not close-minded, but not quite willing to accept it without at least
trying to see for myself. So, I set about learning the techniques offered in the guide and practiced every
day and night for the next few weeks.
Each time I would practice entering a state of deep relaxation, waiting for the vibrations. The guide
talked about the “hypnagogic-state,” described as “mind awake - body asleep,” and I would often begin to
feel a sense of “pins and needles,” but each time I would attempt to project, nothing would happen.
I was approaching four weeks, had practiced every night, but after so many unsuccessful attempts,
was beginning to feel like I was wasting my time. In fact, I had pretty much given up on the idea
altogether, concluding that if such things do happen, they happen to other people – those “gifted” with
either special abilities, or maybe those who are easily persuaded. I noticed, for example, that I could not
be hypnotized, despite the fact that other people, including therapists, would swear by the process.
I guess you could say my first out-of-body experience happened almost by chance. I had gone to a
friend's house and spent the night. It was August the 18th, 1991 – coincidentally, almost exactly 30 days
after picking up the book from the bookstore. My friend and I had stayed up until 4 o'clock in the morning,
talking about everything under the sun, and I needed to be up and going by 6 am to catch a ride home.
Two hours of sleep was hardly worth going to sleep for. My mind was telling me to stay awake, but
my body was telling me otherwise. I almost had drifted off to sleep when my sub-conscious reminded me
that I needed to be up soon.
My mind never lost consciousness, but my body was so tired that it just slipped right on into the sleep
state. I knew then for the first time what it truly meant to be in the hypnagogic-state.
Just as I slipped across, I began to feel the vibrations. The book had mentioned that this particular
time of morning - a couple of hours before sunrise - was indeed the perfect time to catch the vibrations.
I realized, of course, that I was in the exact condition needed in order to leave my body, so I just willed
myself to kind of “sit up.” I could feel myself move, and was unsure whether my physical body was
moving or my astral body, but I just went with it and soon found myself floating up above my body. I
turned around and could see my physical self still laying in bed. It was apparent that “I” was not my body.
Like many people's first out-of-body experience, I was hardly in control of what was going on. My
body began to rotate in mid-air, swinging from head to toe horizontally. I began to spin so fast that I
quickly decided to return to my body just to get a hold of myself.
The vibrations were still strong and I decided to slip out again, this time to try to leave the room.
I floated up and out with ease and started to drift up toward the ceiling. I wanted to go through it, but
thought for a brief moment that such a thing would be impossible. Sure enough, I bounced off the ceiling
and instead just hovered there a moment.
 As I was hovering in mid-air, I noticed an interesting pattern of tiles on the ceiling, but I began to lose
control over my positioning again and so returned once more to the safety of my physical body.
The vibrations were still present, but had weakened substantially, and although I tried a few more
times to separate, was only able to partially pull out.
The next thing I knew, I was waking up to go home.
As soon as I came to, I was so excited about having my first out-of-body experience that I sprang out
of bed and, despite only a couple hours of sleep, was filled with energy the entire day.
The last thing I noticed before I left the room that morning was the tiled ceiling. Since I had never
been in the room during the daytime, and the lights were off the night before, I thought it was interesting
that the tiles matched precisely the pattern I had seen while out of my body. However, knowing how the
sub-conscious mind can perceive things we are consciously unaware of, I dismissed the apparent
accuracy as insubstantial evidence to prove that I had actually left my body.
That first experience, indeed, was the beginning of an absolutely incredible adventure, the start of an
exploratory process from which there would be no turning back. I was bound and determined to answer
the age-old question of whether there is life after death, not for anyone else, necessarily, but just to know.
That single event was so incredible, so real, I was certain that whatever it was, whether I could prove it
or not, it was more than just a dream.
I had experienced lucid dreaming on occasion and this was much more real than that. I had found
myself in real world surroundings that appeared to perfectly reflect the actual room I was in. Also, I had
never lost consciousness. I knew exactly where I was the whole time, what time it was, and was fully
cognizant of myself and the events transpiring.
But there was also that nagging voice in my head, the skeptic in me telling myself that I must be
delusional if I actually believed it was more than just a vivid dream. It seemed much more reasonable,
from a logical point of view, that the brain, being the source of awareness, could accurately re-create all
the inputs necessary for perception, thereby generating a convincing hallucination, no matter how “real” it
may have seemed.
Nonetheless, I began researching everything I could get my hands on relating to astral projection, out-
of-body experiences, etc., and even paranormal phenomenon, as well. If there was proof of ghosts and
the like, then perhaps we do have a soul, or spirit, that could transcend the physical.
One of the books I came across in my search was the first book published by Robert Monroe,
“Journeys Out-of-the Body,” originally published in 1971. I was an immediate fan, mostly because of his
wonderful story-telling ability, but also because of the depth and breadth of the information he conveyed
on a subject for which few others seemed to have any knowledge about. His first novel was the product
of more than 12 years of first-hand experience, and Monroe told it as it had happened. He never told
anyone what to believe, only what he had encountered in his many years of out-of-body exploration.
His technique was also helpful, even if it was a rather complicated way of explaining how to obtain the
vibrations from a point located six feet above the head. Monroe later recanted on this method in “Far
Journeys,” his second novel, published in 1987, saying that it didn't always work and that the Monroe
Institute was heading in a new direction, involving a newly patented technology utilizing sound-waves to
generate alternate states of consciousness.
I happened upon “Far Journeys” in1992, and even though I had successfully used his technique on
one previous occasion, I also had given up on it. There were so many techniques coming available
during the early 90's due to an explosion of interest in the out-of-body phenomenon that I was using a
combination of whatever would work. Having lost Monroe's endorsement, I abandoned the method in
pursuit of other processes and almost never looked back.
I was still looking for proof, and one of the most compelling experiences I had for proving my own out-
of-body experiences were real occurred one night when I floated out from my upstairs window to the
ground in my backyard.
In those early days, opportunities for having an out-of-body experience was so far and few in between,
anytime I actually found myself “out,” I was just overwhelmed with joy. This occasion was no exception,
and as I touched the ground, out of sheer excitement, I reached down and pulled a hand-full of grass up
by the roots and threw it up in the air. Without another thought, I jumped up in the air and flew off.
I realized upon waking the next morning, however, that if I had actually left my body, there should be
some evidence of my experience in the backyard.
 Perhaps, I could go check the spot where I landed for the missing grass?
At first I was afraid to even go, fearful that I would find nothing at all, as this would be a devastating
blow against validation. Nonetheless, I got dressed, went out into the backyard and checked the spot I
landed in.
Sure enough, there was a small hole in the ground with loose dirt that had settled into it. It had all the
appearances of the grass having been pulled up by the roots. I think I might have been more excited
about the validation than I was when I was having the oobe itself. Here, I finally had the proof that I had
been out of my body!
But such confidence in the reality of the phenomenon did not last. The more I researched the
literature, I began to realize that, in spite of such seemingly convincing experiences - and anecdotal
evidence - in actuality, the burden of proof was much more substantial than what I had found.
The biggest obstacle to proving the reality of the out-of-body experience was extra-sensory
perception, or “esp,” a myriad of phenomena, including clairvoyance, precognition, telekinesis, etc., that
had been scientifically and statistically established in the late 1950's at Stanford University, largely due to
the work of Dr. Charles Tart.
Esp. could account for a whole host of issues related to the out-of-body experience and could explain
most, if not all, of the events people often claimed were of a spiritual nature. In this vein, the out-of-body
experience might be nothing more than a extreme version of “remote viewing,” the ability to see things
beyond the perspective of the human body while the subject is in a state of heightened relaxation.
Even the out-of-body experience in which I pulled the grass up by the roots, allowing a great deal of
lenience toward the idea that I had actually pulled the grass up by the roots, and that the hole in the yard
wasn't the result of an animal, etc., it could just as easily be explained by aspects of esp. In this case, I
may simply have exercised telekinesis in conjunction with remote-viewing – no proof I had actually left my
body.
Ghosts and the like, well this sort of phenomena could simply be cases of vivid hallucination or, in
instances where more than one person perceived the supposed entity, group hallucination, likely, or at
best, explainable by a combination of clairvoyance and/or “physical manifestations caused by imprints
within the time-space continuum from events that occurred within the past.”
Even in cases of trans-mediums, or people who talk to the dead, scientist would quickly dismiss such
events as the work of frauds, regardless of the validity of the information or inexplicable nature of how
such information could otherwise have been obtained.
After a period of almost three years, during which I committed to an exhaustive and near fruitless
search for information that would shed light on whether my own experiences were real, I finally relegated
myself to the conclusion that I would simply never know.
There was no proof that consciousness could exist apart from the brain, and I would simply have to
accept the conclusion that these events were most probably the result of the brain playing a rather
convincing mind-trick. After all, everything we see, hear, taste, feel, smell, etc., must all be processed
through the brain. The fact that our everyday reality appears so convincing was proof enough that the
brain could trick itself into accepting its own input/output as “reality,” and nowhere is this more true than
while one is in an altered state of consciousness.
As this truth began to sink in, I admit, I felt it was a rather disappointing conclusion, nonetheless, the
most logical one.
I still enjoyed trying to leave my body, just like people enjoy lucid dreaming. These events are
absolutely exhilarating, and the experience of being able to fly is just too much fun to be had. But I had
given up on trying to prove my experience was real.
Then, on a beautiful spring morning in 1994, it happened...an event that would change everything.
 Discovery of the Vehram Energy System

In the spring of 1994, nearly three years after my first out-of-body experience, a pivotal event occurred
that would not only revolutionize my own out-of-body induction process, it would offer the critical scientific
proof that the out-of-body experience was a real event. In time, as I began to understand the
fundamental aspects of how this energy system manifests, I also began to realize this discovery
contained the very principles that prove consciousness is independent of the brain and survives bodily
death.
What happened on this fateful morning was the beginning of a process that would take more than 13
years to fully understand. So complex was the implications, and the science behind it, that as an
untrained layman, I originally had no idea of the significance of the scientific principles being exhibited. It
was startling, but I had no clue as to why it was so important.
What follows is the event, as it happened, and an explanation for why this is the vital proof that the
out-of-body experience occurs in real 3-dimensional space and time beyond the physical body, concluded
by an explanation for how this discovery, in conjunction with advances in neuroscience and quantum
physics, unequivocally proves life after death, and defines consciousness as a truly immortal entity.
It was about 10 am on this particular morning, and I had been up since around 4 am. This was
becoming customary in my out-of-body induction process. Having slept only about 4 hours the night
before, I often found myself able to easily slip into the hypnagogic-state.
After a few minutes, I was able to reach the hypnagogic-state and immediately attempted to separate
from my body. The vibrations were not present, however, as was too often the case around this time of
day, but I figured if I pulled hard enough maybe I could force the separation.
I tried and tried, pulling in every direction imaginable, managing at long last to separate just my left
arm.
I thought about trying to reach toward the wall, knowing it was out of reach from my physical body, just
to see if I could stretch my astral limb. However, as I began to reach out, just beyond arms length, I
began to feel a tingle of vibrations at the edge of my fingertips.
This was quite surprising to me and I assumed that there must be a wall of energy around the body,
similar to Monroe's described “rebal,” which was an acronym for resonant energy balloon.
However, I quickly realized that this was not a wall of energy, but rather was emanating from a distinct
source, as I could feel all around left and right of it, above and below it. Clearly it was strongest near a
specific location and as I approached that particular location, it would intensify and begin to disperse
down into my ethereal hand and arm.
After figuring out where the central location was, I decided to press my hand into the center of it. I was
simply expecting to feel a vibrational current of energy similar to what I had felt on previous occasions,
when the vibrations were present within the body. What happened instead was completely above and
beyond all expectation.
As I placed my ethereal hand in the center of where I perceived the energy to be emanating, an
immediate and powerful surge of energy entered my hand with such extreme intensity that it was beyond
my ability to sustain the flow of energy. It was so powerful that the closest thing I can relate it to is
electrocution.
I immediately pulled my ethereal hand away from the vicinity of the power source as the energy began
dispersing into my body. I could push the vibrations into my extremities, or direct it where I wanted, just
as I could in other pre-separation instances, simply controlling the energy by thought.
I willed the energy to intensify and equalize throughout and then briefly separated out of my body,
flying up and out into the room. I was so intrigued by the events that had just happened, however, that I
returned to my body, sat up in bed, bewildered, and suddenly realized that this was another source to the
vibrations that Monroe had written about in “Journeys Out-of-the Body.”
It occurred to me at this point that if there were two sources, one to the left as I had just discovered,
and another above the head, perhaps there were other points, one to the right and another below the
feet?
To test this theory, I quickly slipped back into the hypnagogic-state and attempted to pull the energy
from these other locations. Sure enough, I could also obtain the vibrational surge from each of those
locations, as well.
 Again, I lifted out, but only briefly before returning to my body to reflect on what was going on.
I grew so excited about what had happened that I couldn't get back into the hypnagogic-state to test
immediately. Rather I began to try to reflect on the significance of the idea that the vibrational surge
actually has a source!
This was one of the great mysteries of the out-of-body induction process, “Where does the vibrations
come from?”
To have an answer for this was simply a huge breakthrough for me. No longer would I have to worry
about hitting the hypnagogic-state at the “right time,” or end up in the hypnagogic-state only to find the
vibrations were not present at all. I can hardly begin to tell you the number of times the latter had
happened to me, how frustrating it was to miss so many opportunities to leave my body.
I wasn't very good at getting into the hypnagogic-state in the first place, and it was often weeks or
months in between. Most of the time, the vibrations simply were not present, and I would wake up the
next morning disappointed that once again I had not been able to get out of my body.
Those days were over. Never again would I have to worry about whether the vibrations were there or
not, I could simply pull them in from the four locations as described and, immediately, I would feel the
onset of the surge, will myself out, and be off exploring!
One day, as I was contemplating the arrangement, it occurred to me that there was something wrong.
The symmetry didn't feel right. Why would there be four points: one above the head, one below the feet,
one to the left and one to the right? Why not one in front of the body, and if so, why not another behind
the body?
I had never tried to pull energy from these points, so I didn't know if these locations contained a power
source or not. I went back to the drawing board, so to speak, and carried out an experiment to see if I
could pull energy from these points, as well. Sure enough, as I pulled the energy from these distinct
locations, the energy entered and the vibrations began to disperse into my body.
Over the next few years I had spent many hours contemplating what this source was, but mostly was
at a loss to explain it. Why did the energy exist? Why was I so severely shocked upon making contact
with the inner core?
It turns out, there was already a science behind the madness... I decided that if I was going to share
this information with others I needed to understand what it was I was dealing with.
 The Laws of Thermodynamics - Proof Positive of the Vehram Energy System

It had felt quite harmless as I first approached it, just a gentle vibrational sensation entering through
my fingertips. But then, each time as I approached closer to it with my ethereal appendage, the
vibrational surge quickly intensified. Once I got too close, the jolt of energy was overwhelmingly powerful.
Contact with this ethereal power source was absolutely unsustainable, even for a second.
Initially, having no previous experience to draw upon relating to this energy system, the shock was
completely unexpected. Even more surprising was the extreme intensity with which it surged into my
ethereal hand. It was so powerful that I absolutely could not keep my hand inside the central core. I had
no choice but to withdraw my ethereal hand from the vicinity of the power source.
The vibrational surge of energy entered so quickly that in just the short period of time it took to realize
the jolt was way beyond an intensity I could stand, in the instant it took to simply have that “knee-jerk”
response to withdraw my hand, the energy had surged into my entire upper torso and began dispersing
throughout my body.
Later, I came upon an old college physics book, from around the late 60's. I realized that many of this
energy system's properties could actually be explained by established laws of thermodynamics.
Thermodynamics are the bedrock of modern science, and as Albert Einstein famously said, are “the
only laws of universal content which I am certain will never be overthrown...”
These laws govern all forms of electromagnetic waveforms and in the case of this new found ethereal
energy system, play a pivotal role in proving its existence.
The first law of thermodynamics is the law of conservation of energy, which states that within a closed
system, energy may change form, but is always conserved.
One of the consequences of the first law is that radiant energy, or energy which emanates from a
source, must diminish with strict accordance to the “inverse-square law.” This mathematical formula can
be used in a wide array of applications, but basically states that half the distance closer to any ambient
source of energy will result in an increase of intensity equal to four times the relative strength.
This simple principle explains why heat generated by a fire gets hotter the closer you are to it, and this
same principle is also used in astronomy to calculate the distances to the stars. Beyond that, even
gravity behaves according to the inverse-square principle, as well as electromagnetic fields.
The radiance of energy emanating from the Vehram System also abides by this law as demonstrated
by the exponential intensification of vibrational energy that occurs as your ethereal body gets closer to it.
Having found a concrete explanation for the observed behavior of the ambient energy that is
generated by these power centers, I was still looking for an explanation of why I was shocked.
I figured the best place to look, in light of the fact that the behavior of this emanation of energy
correlated to known laws of physics, was to look back into the science of physics, in this case,
electrodynamics. Electrodynamics are another set of principles governed by thermodynamics, but relate
to charged particles and are used to explain, among other things, why electricity flows.
Electricity is the flow of electrons through a conduit. Electrons are negatively charged particles that
normally orbit the nucleus of an atom and there are two types of electrons that determine a material's
conductivity - valence electrons and planetary electrons.
Valence electrons are contained in the outer orbits of an atom and are easily lost and gained, as
opposed to planetary electrons, which are more closely bound to the nucleus and are difficult to dislodge.
Metals, and all forms of highly conductive matter, have a higher number of valence electrons and will
therefore easily conduct a flow of electricity. Plastics, and other insulating materials, contain atoms that
have few or no valence electrons, but rather contain mostly planetary electrons orbiting the nucleus of the
atoms.
Electricity must flow through a conduit, even if that conduit is the air itself, as occurs in lightning. This
is very important for understanding the role of the ethereal body as a conductor of the Vehram energy, as
well as in the distinct behavior observed in the form of the “electrothereal-static discharge,” or jolt, that
takes place when the ethereal body makes contact with the Vehram chakra's central core.
It first allows us to establish that the ethereal body is a real body, not some in-material, figment of the
imagination. The electrothereal-static discharge would not occur unless the ethereal body completed
some sort of circuit upon contact with the Vehram chakra, and in order to do so, it must have a material,
geometric, manifestation – even if it manifests on an ethereal wavelength.
 In researching the laws of electrodynamics, I also realized for the first time this energy system was not
some abstract manifestation of spirit, but that it had to be an actual form of matter, as well – not physical
matter, as it doesn't interact with physical particles or physical energies, at least not in any measurable
way by physical instruments. It does, however, interact with ethereal matter, such as the ethereal body,
and therefore must also exist on an ethereal wavelength. Consciousness is able to perceive this power
by tuning into the ethereal body and does so by entering the hypnagogic-state.
Why must the Vehram System be composed of matter, as opposed to energy. Well, in fact energy
and matter are the same things, just in different forms, as indicated by Einstein's famous e=mc2 equation,
which allows us to calculate the relationship of matter to energy. The critical difference between matter
and energy is that energy is the ability to do work, while matter is a specific state of particles.
However, the best explanation currently for how the core of a Vehram chakra behaves may be to
compare it to a plasma.
A plasma is a state of matter in which the material is so hot that the electrons are free-roaming. This
results in ions, which is another name for charged particles. The unique thing about a plasma is that in
addition to it having a polarity, plasma also generates an ambient field of radiant energy in the form heat,
radio waves, as well as an electromagnetic field. In the case of the Vehram Array, the ethereal plasma
generates a field of electrothereal radiation – the vibrational energy that causes the onset of the
vibrational surge.
The central core is polarized, as evident by the electrothereal-static discharge – the jolt of energy that
discharges into the ethereal body – that occurs upon contact between the central power source and the
ethereal body.
This is one of the areas where technologies must develop that are capable of measuring on this
wavelength in order for science to gain a full understanding. I use the word plasma loosely because its
exact makeup can only be theorized, and specifically because there are certain behaviors that are
inconsistent with physical plasmas.
For example, there is no heat generated by, or involved in the generation of, this ethereal plasma, and
the polarity of a traditional plasma would force the plasma apart because similar charges repel one
another.
So, one of the questions we still seek to answer is why the ethereal energy is focused at distinct
centralized locations.
I would surmise that it has to do with an as yet undiscovered ethereal force that is stronger than the
repulsive force of the ethereal nuclear force. This alternate force binds these charged ethereal particles
together, while the flow of ethereal energy that occurs in the case of the electrothereal-static discharge
results from the completion of a circuit, similar to that which occurs in electrical discharges. The internal
chakras, located along the spine, give the ethereal body its own opposing polarity compared to the
Vehram chakras. The combined force of the repulsive ethereal nuclear force in conjunction with the
attractive force between opposing polarities allows the ethereal energy to discharge into the ethereal body
as the circuit is completed.
The final point I wish to make in regards to the Vehram System's adherence to the laws of
thermodynamics is related to the second law, known as the law of entropy. The law of entropy states that
within a closed system, order always gives way to chaos.
One of the ways in which scientists measure the level of entropy within a closed system is to measure
the temperature. Since temperature is a measurement of the disorder of a system, one of the
consequences of the second law, or the law of entropy, is that heat must always move toward cold and
not the other way around.
It doesn't matter how big of an ice-cube you get, if you place it next to even a tiny flame, the heat of
the flame will always melt the ice-cube. The ice-cube will never freeze, or extinguish, the flame. This is
because of the law of entropy. The heat, or radiant energy, hits the ice-cube's particles, imparting energy
and causes the ice to melt. There is no “cold” radiant energy emanating from the ice-cube, that would act
to stop the radiant energy emanating from the fire, as this would violate the law of entropy.
In a purely fantasy environment, the mind could dream up any scenario imaginable. Indeed, there
would be no basis for a universal response to an unknown power source. However, the unique and
specific response the ethereal body has to the Vehram System obeys the laws of thermodynamics in
such a universal way that we must consider that it would only be possible if the energy system is in fact a
real phenomenon. It is the second law, the law of entropy, that is responsible for the onset of the
vibrational surge that occurs when individuals enter hypnagogic and unsuspectingly find the vibrations
already present. Millions of people have used the natural presence of the vibrations, which is known to
occur at specific “high-energy periods” to achieve the out-of-body experience, unaware that natural onset
of the vibrational surge was, in fact, the result of the Vehram Energy System's radiant energy engulfing
the physical body.
Just as the radiant heat from a fire will melt the ice-cube, the radiant energy from the Vehram chakras,
encountering the ethereal body, causes the natural onset of the vibrational surge. The steady state of the
ethereal body, initially devoid of the vibrational energy, gives way to the onset of this vital escape energy
as the radiant energy emanating from the Vehram Array contacts the ethereal body.
It would be very easy, if the Vehram System were purely a figment of the imagination, for it to break
the second law of thermodynamics. People would not be able to rely on specific high-energy periods to
achieve the vibrational surge and, indeed, would not experience this specific sensation in such a universal
manner at all.
Some might argue that the presence of this energy is the result of pre-suggestion. However, many
people have experienced this energy whom never knew such a sensation existed. One of the earliest
accounts of the spontaneous onset of the vibrations happened to Robert Monroe in his early days of out-
of-body activity when he had no books to read on the subject, and the event occurred without any
previous knowledge of this energy or its vital role in enabling the ethereal body to separate.
Another characteristic is the behavior of the Vehram energy upon entry into the ethereal body, where-
upon it naturally begins to disperse and spread toward the areas where the vibrations are not present.
In other words, if you pull this energy into the head, the energy begins to disperse down into the neck
and shoulders. If you pull the energy from a Vehram chakra located in front of the body, the energy will
enter the front of the torso and begin to disperse outward from the point of entry, filling throughout the
ethereal body toward a state of equilibrium.
In cases where the energy is localized, say contained in a specific area of the body such as the head,
one would still note that the energy dissipates from that location in a gradient. This behavior is the
product of the first and second laws of thermodynamics.
Consciousness does have the ability to direct the energy and can concentrate it toward a specific
area. However, in cases where the onset is spontaneous, such as during the electrothereal-static
discharge, the energy is so powerful and intense that it will quickly disperse from the point of entry.
 The Vehram Energy System – Proof of the Out-of-Body Experience

After beginning to see the wide array of specific scientific principles exhibited by the Vehram System, I
realized that this external universal energy system could uniquely answer the question of whether the out-
of-body experience was a real occurrence. The external location of the chakras meant that if the system
actually exists, then the ability to separate from the physical body, in which one is able to interact with the
chakras, must be occurring 3-dimensionally outside the physical body.
It also occurred to me that its universal manifestation, governed by established laws of physics,
precluded not only hallucination, but even pre-suggestion, from being able to account for the unique
principles exhibited by this energy system. Many people had experienced specific principles, such as the
vibrational surge, who had no idea such a power existed in the first place. Too many principles were at
work in perfect collaboration, generating a universal set of interactions that people were independently
experiencing.
Robert Monroe had actually discovered the first source located above the head. Although he never
described it as a radiant energy source, most likely due to the fact that he never had a direct contact with
it, this fact allowed for my own independent discovery of the power source located to the left of the body.
I realized that the surge of vibrations could only occur if the energy was the same in both instances.
The energy that entered my body upon contact with this power center was the very same that he
described, was the same as I had experienced while using his method originally. What I had
unsuspectingly stumbled upon, in an unexpected location, was simply an independent confirmation of
Monroe's discovery. The key, however, in this case, was that I was able to feel the radiant energy and
also, quite unexpectedly, felt the tremendous shock.
In addition, millions of people had used his method to obtain the vibrational surge, and I could not
assume that the experience I had could possibly be unique to myself if others were able to draw energy
from the same location.
I decided to call it the “VEHRAM” system as an anagram of mine and Robert Monroe's initials. I
considered RAMVEH, originally, because of his initial discovery, but the pronunciation just didn't quite
have the same ring to it.
The electrothereal-static discharge was of critical importance for proving the existence of the ethereal
body, but it didn't prove anything more than the fact that the ethereal body could separate.
In this way, the Vehram System proved the out-of-body experience was a real case of separation –
that the experience itself was a real phenomenon, occurring in 3-dimensional reality, and yet removed
from the physical body. Alone, however, it didn't prove consciousness separated from the body. I realized
that it may mean nothing more than the fact that the brain was somehow utilizing the ethereal vehicle as a
relay to perceive beyond the physical body.
Unless consciousness could be demonstrated as a separate entity, the Vehram System was simply an
ethereal phenomenon that only proved we have the ability to perceive beyond the physical body via an
alternate energy body. It proved the out-of-body experience, but didn't prove we would necessarily live
beyond the cessation of the body's chemical functions.
It was some time later that I happened upon the breakthrough work being undertaken by leading
neuroscientists in the fields of quantum-mechanics, and whom were uncovering the quantum principles
and neurological structures that give rise to an interface between consciousness and the brain. The
result was a beautiful explanation for how the brain serves to relay the information from a higher
governing authority, suggesting consciousness was never in the brain to begin with, but was critically
unable to determine what the actual nature of that authority might be.
The Vehram Energy System, however, unlocks the mystery in a most spectacular fashion...The
secrets to proving life after death would require, once again, going to the basics of established science. It
would have to include a marriage of the secrets being revealed through neuroscience – an understanding
of what was actually occurring within the brain – with the newly discovered aspects of this external
ethereal energy system.
 Proving Life After Death

As Carl Sagan once said, “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence to back them up.”
Nowhere is this more true than in the claim of having found proof of life after death.
With that in mind, I knew that this was not a claim I could make lightly. The existence of an external
ethereal energy system, indeed, would meet the criteria of being extraordinary evidence. However, in
addition to being extraordinary, it must also demonstrate the specific principles that determine the nature
of consciousness as being separate from the physical body, an entity unto itself, and capable of existing
beyond death of the human body and brain.
This is one of the most difficult challenges for science because, as many scientists would argue, until
the body and brain ceases to function, until you are biologically dead, how can one say they have found
proof of life after death?
Astral projection offers an individual the ability to explore beyond the human body, yet we always
return to physicality when the experience is over, despite apparent dimensional shifts. This does not
prove that consciousness is dependent on the physical body for its existence, but what it does tell us is
that consciousness, so long as our bran is viable and functioning, is intimately linked to the physical body.
To begin any attempt to prove life after death, we must first lay the foundation for understanding the
functions and roles the brain and consciousness each play.
If we truly understand these roles, then it may be possible to draw conclusions as to whether
consciousness would be able to sustain its existence without the benefit of the human body, but only if in
defining the nature of consciousness and the role it plays in conjunction with the brain, we are able to
pinpoint the exact principles within that process that would enable consciousness to exist beyond the
physical body's termination.
In other words, consciousness requires basic abilities inherent within its own nature in order to be
sustainable beyond death of the physical body. If it possesses these traits inherently, within its own
nature, death of the physical body would have no impact on the continuation of consciousness.
In order for this to be the case, the brain must have no essential function to sustain consciousness as
a functioning entity. This simple concept would define consciousness as an entity rather than the end-
result of a process.
If the brain does serve an essential role, then consciousness would not survive without it.
So the question is, what is the nature of consciousness? Is consciousness the end-result of a
process, functionally dependent on the processes occurring inside the brain, or is consciousness an entity
unto itself?

Understanding How the Brain Works -

The human brain is the single most complex organ in the human body and uses 70% of the oxygen
we take in. Capable of more than 20 trillion calculations per second, it is faster than any super-computer
on earth and regulates every other organ in the body. It also allows us to formulate complex ideas and
emotions, while processing the myriad senses of taste, touch, sight, hearing and smell.
The brain comprises 5 main regions: the cerebrum, which is the largest part of the brain, is divided
into two hemispheres and is essential to memory function and directs voluntary muscular functions; the
cerebellum, which is located at the back of the brain, controls balance and the five senses; the pituitary
gland, which is most largely responsible for regulating growth hormones; the hypothalamus, which
regulates body temperature; and the brain-stem, which governs the body's autonomous functions such
as breathing and heart-beat, and connects the brain to the spinal column.
While we know that the brain would appear to play a vital role in cognitive function, scientist have
found that no single part of the brain can account for our ability to actually make decisions, or for such
aspects of thought as intuition – what scientists refer to as the “hard-problem” of neuroscience. The
problem is that, despite the tremendous computational capability of the brain to process information, no
amount of computation can give rise to self-awareness and the ability to intelligently and purposefully
make choices.
In addition, as advances in medical imaging technologies developed, scientists also began to see that
the brain operates much faster than chemical relay would allow, faster even than the speed of light.
Drs. Stuart Hameroff and Sir Roger Penrose introduced the Orch-Or, or Orchestrated-Objective
Reduction, model of consciousness in a paper published in the peer-reviewed journal Biosystems 1996,
which specifically addresses the functional components and structures within the brain that in turn allow
for an interface between a higher governing authority from a quantum level, in a process that has become
known as “quantum-consciousness.”
Having identified the best suited structures for the correlates of consciousness within the brain, known
as microtubules, which are a nano-scale cytoskeletal structures located on the surface of neurons, the
Orch-Or model suggests that the brain works as both a mechanical computer and a quantum computer,
enabling the decision making process, and the relay of that information through the brain's neural
network, to occur beyond the boundaries of physical space and time.
The core components of the model require that the driving mechanism behind the process exists on a
quantum level, not in the physical, not within the brain, but rather interfaced with it. The part of us that
makes decisions, and which then give rise to awareness within the brain, must be operating from a
“superposition” beyond time and space.
From this superposition, the governing authority, the mechanism that gives rise to the decision making
aspect of ourselves, is able to measure outputs from the brain through quantum entanglement, to process
this information, and then generate its own input back into the brain through manipulations of the
quantum-space time geometry, through quantum entanglement with the microtubules located on the
brain's neurons.
One of the unique things about the quantum relay is that it allows for algorithms that have a non-
computable aspect. This is the specific area where consciousness, as an entity, rather than an end-
product, could play the vital role of supplying the non-computable injection of information – free will.
Through the quantum relay, consciousness then injects a processed output into the brain's neural
network via “dendritic webs,” which is the name given to the web of specific neurons that fire in perfect
synchronicity within the brain during a single “moment of awareness.” Scientists refer to this as gamma-
wave synchronization, and it happens about 40 times a second. Because the firing of neurons occurs in
perfect synchronization, chemical relay is impossible, as it requires speeds faster than light would allow.
The Orch-Or model is considered by many leading neuroscientists to be a virtually complete and
accurate representation for what may give rise to awareness within the brain, but comes up short in one
critical area – it only describes the processes by which the brain may serve as an interface with a higher
governing authority, but cannot describe that authority as an entity unto itself. Rather, the model
postulates that the governing authority, indeed consciousness, may involve “self-perturbations” of the
quantum-space/time geometry.
The reason is that research has not, until now, been able to address the separation of consciousness
from the structural confines of the brain, in conjunction with its ability to manipulate the fundamental
geometry of time and space.
What the Vehram System allows us to do is first prove awareness is able to manifest outside the
brain's structural integrity. This is only possible if the fundamental processes thought to be involved in the
brain's quantum processes are in fact not limited to the brain, but rather can stand alone, or at least
outside the structural confines of the physical body.
The Vehram Energy System plays a vital role in demonstrating the separation of awareness in a
concrete and material way, through the ethereal body, but while the physical body is simply a relay
device, or perceptual body, as postulated by the Orch-Or model, the ethereal body must also serve simply
as a relay device. The unique role of the ethereal body, as demonstrated by the external positioning of
the Vehram System, allows us to completely remove the brain from the equation, thereby proving life after
physical death. However, the basic question, what is the nature of consciousness, still remains.
So the next question really comes down to this – is the governing authority, the part of us that makes
decisions, definable as the “self-perturbations of quantum-time/space geometry,” or is it actually defined
as that which perturbs the quantum-time/space geometry?
This question can be answered by a brilliant aspect of the Vehram System and the demonstrated
ability we possess to actually manipulate this energy. To prove that the governing authority is not “self-
perturbations of the time/space geometry” requires that we demonstrate the fundamental nature of
consciousness, itself, to be capable of manipulating the fabric of reality.
Consciousness would thus require the power of creation.
The answer is far more important than may be initially apparent because, if consciousness is “the self-
perturbation of quantum-time/space” then it truly is the end-result of a quantum process and,
unfortunately, is also limited to quantum space/time, resulting in an uncertainty of immortality.
However, if it is capable of directing this perturbation, then it is an entity that must fundamentally exist
even beyond quantum reality – in other words from a “super-position” beyond quantum-space/time. This
is the vital aspect which is key to not only proving life after death, but truly proving immortality.
In order to pull the Vehram energy into the body, resulting in the onset of the vibrational surge, the
mind must fundamentally be able to manipulate the most basic level of reality, not physical reality, but
quantum reality, the governing level from which physical reality is derived.
Because this ability is inherent within each of us, the quantum-space/time geometry cannot be simply
“self-perturbing,” but rather consciousness is perturbing the quantum-space/time. Consequently, neither
the physical brain, nor the ethereal body, has any role in the fundamental processes that are responsible
for the existence of consciousness. And because we have the ability to manipulate reality on the most
fundamental level, beyond time and space, we have a complete model for not only proving life after
death, but for defining the fundamental nature of consciousness as a truly immortal entity.
Reality is the end-product of consciousness' creative processes. Consciousness is not the end-
product of the brain's internal workings, nor is it definable purely in terms of quantum reality, but rather is
an entity unto itself, located beyond physical-space/time, as well as quantum-space/time.

Conclusion

The out-of-body experience has intrigued mankind since the dawn of our existence. Millions of people
from all walks of life have embarked on the extraordinary spiritual journey that begins with their first
excursion from the confines of the physical body. While skeptics have long questioned the validity of
such experiences, we now finally have a way to prove these events are more than simply a figment of the
imagination. The concrete laws of the Vehram System not only abide by laws that govern our reality, but
provide a way to reach beyond physical reality, altogether.
One day, perhaps, technologies will develop that leave no question about the reality of such alternate
energies, and energy systems, as that found in the Vehram Array. Certainly, consciousness is unique in
its ability to explore in ways for which the constraints of physical reality have long concealed the mysteries
of our true existence.
It is of critical importance, however, that before such technologies do develop, consciousness
discovered this power first. This is essential in proving consciousness does have the ability to separate
from the physical body and that the human realization of this power was never the product of established
technological breakthroughs, but rather the product of consciousness' own inherent abilities.
I want to extend my deepest appreciation to the many people who have contributed to the advances in
understanding of this extraordinary power, individuals who have shared their own experiences, and others
who, although unaware of the contributions they have made, were nonetheless essential to the revelation
of the Vehram Energy System's secrets. This was not the breakthrough of a single person, but a
culmination that resulted from reconstructing a complex puzzle, the pieces of which were given by so
many who came before, including the likes of Robert Monroe, as well as scientists from every field of
study from physics to neuroscience.
I also want to extend my sincerest thanks to you, dear reader, for taking the time to explore this. My
greatest hope is that you find at least some small measure of comfort in knowing that you are not alone if
you believe in life after death, not alone if your own experiences have shown you this truth already, nor
are you without reason if you are still looking for answers, for there are an infinite number of universes to
explore, and as many more secrets to waiting to be revealed.
