"NAD Vol. 2: A Psychic Study of the Music of the Spheres" by D. Scott Rogo

"In his Foreword, Raymond Bayless says: "This book, as well as its predecessor and companion work, NAD: A Study of Some Unusual 'Other-World' Experiences, is an extremely valuable pioneering study of a most extraordinary psychical phenomenon — paranormal music.

"The subject, prior to Rogo's investigations, has been neglected, in spite of its obvious importance to psychic science. It is of particular importance to research into survival of death and 'astral projection', or OOBE (out-of-the-body experiences) phenomena. Scott Rogo has dealt masterfully with this field and has ably brought it into the clear light of scientific examination".

Applying the technique known to science as "pattern analysis", Rogo presents his findings on fifty-eight new cases involving paranormal music. These include such music perceived as a separate phenomenon unrelated to other factors; as associated with "astral projection", or out-of-the-body experiences; as related to the act of dying; as occurring during cases of haunting.

Scott Rogo provides some fascinating theoretical discussions of how paranormal music is "heard", as well as its role in the survival problem. There is also a section of pseudo and doubtful cases of music claimed to be paranormal, with the author's perceptive analysis of the evidence for their lack of validity.

Of Rogo's previous work on this subject, Fate Magazine said his "scholarly book deserves the attention of every serious student of the psychic field". This sequel offers, if anything, an even more stimulating intellectual adventure. From Rogo's early chapter on "Psychic Music: Its Various Manifestations" to his conclusion — "NAD, Death, and the Ecstasy of Experience" — the reader may take an exciting new path to fuller exploration of a mystery that has intrigued humankind for centuries."
