Gerald Marcus Glaskin (16 December 1923 - 2000) was an Australian author of science fiction and new-age spiritual guidance related to the interpretation of dreams.
Glaskin's novel A Waltz Through the Hills was made into a 1989 film of the same title.
The Christos Experiment (or Christos Phenomenon), a phenomenon discussed by several of Glaskin's books, is an Altered State of Consciousness that can produce extraordinarily vivid and realistic Out-of-Body Experiences, Past-Life Experiences and Other-Life Experiences.
Under the pseudonym Neville Jackson, he also authored a novel about a homosexual love affair, No End To The Way (1965). Interviewed in later life about the novel, Glaskin said: "It was banned in Australia and the paperback publishers, Corgi, researched the Australian censorship laws, and discovered that the book could not be shipped to Australia. So they chartered planes and flew them in’.[1]
