EXPLORERS OF THE INFINITE by Maria Coffey
The Secret Lives of Extreme Athletes - and What They Reveal About Near-Death Experiences, Psychic Communication, and Touching the Beyond
Climbing Everest without oxygen; diving hundreds of feet into the ocean on a single breath; free falling from precipitous cliffs; kayaking over enormous waterfalls: what compels extreme athletes to push through the boundaries of human ability? And what do they discover on the other side?
Maria Coffey’s new book, EXPLORERS OF THE INFINITE, unveils some astonishing answers to these questions. In the life-or-death-world of extreme adventure sports, mountaineers, snowboarders, kayakers, surfers, BASE jumpers and other athletes share a common, but rarely talked about bond: their extraordinary spiritual transformations and paranormal experiences.
Since ancient times, mystics have used fear, suffering and focus in wild places as a way to expand their consciousness and open the door to the "other side." Compelling, well-researched and filled with adrenaline packed stories, EXPLORERS OF THE INFINITE reveals how extreme adventure risk-takers use the same means to push into new realms of consciousness, what they encounter there, and what we can learn from them.
