Insights to the Spiritual World & Interactions with the Physical
Published 2022 by AMC Publishers · ISBN 978-1-7776719-1-4
Part I of the Physi-Tual research series by Austin M. Collings — a guided map of how the spiritual world interacts with the physical.
About this book
Insights to the Spiritual World & Interactions with the Physical is the foundational research title in the Physi-Tual series. Where The Spiritual Capture explores the territory through fiction, Insights documents it directly: a guided map of how spiritual experience and physical reality interact in everyday life.
The book draws on metaphysical traditions, contemporary consciousness research, supernatural accounts, and personal experience to build a coherent framework for readers who refuse to treat the body and the spirit as separate categories. It is structured as a series of insights — each one short enough to read in a sitting, each one connected to the next.
Readers find this book most useful at one of two moments: at the beginning of a serious spiritual practice, when they want a working framework before diving into specific traditions; and after years of practice, when they want a vocabulary for experiences they have already had but never named.
