I.A.C. (International Academy of Consciousness) is a non-profit research and education organization dedicated to investigating consciousness, placing emphasis on the rational study and development of psychic and energetic abilities, especially the
out-of-body experience (OBE). This site, www.iacworld.org is worth taking a look at if you are interested in a practical approach to astral projection, with techniques and information given in a non-religious format. Topics include human potential, personal development, self-awareness, out-of-body experiences, astral travel, psychic abilities, vital energy (bioenergy, chi, prana, orgone), non-physical dimensions, scientific paradigms, and consciousness. Most particularly though, it focuses on OBEs.

Mouth-Watering
This mouth-watering dessert of lavender pancakes topped with lavender and honey ice-cream with delicious local blueberries on the side, trickled with fresh cream andraspberry sauce, lightly dusted with icing sugar, is not only a visual delight but a
gustatory rhapsody. Served in the restaurant at Bridestowe Lavender Farm in Tasmania, Australia, with the perfume from seemingly endless rows of lavender flowers (Lavandula Angustifola) wafting in from an open window makes this dish a quasi total sensualexperience. Just looking at this dish engenders saliva flow, and to taste it is ecstasy in the mouth.
It is a far cry from Tasmania’s grisly convict past. While Australia’s indigenes have a
history in Australia of at least 40,000 years, European settlement of Tasmania only began in 1803. The ensuing clash of cultures led to the brutal treatment of Aborigines by the new settlers, virtually wiping out the entire indigenous population. Penal settlements meted out severe punishment to European convicts sent over from Britain.
Today Tasmania has been transformed into a tourist destination, and its culinary delights and stunning scenery, not to mention the abundance of fresh food from land and sea, cherries to die for, and exotic flora and fauna provide food for thought as well as the palate.
