Waldo Vieira

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Waldo Vieira (born 1932) is a Brazilian dentist and physician who first proposed the theories of projectiology and conscientiology, two closely-related paranormal systems which concern the nature of human consciousness. According to Vieira, the consciousness has an existence independent of the body, and the consciousness can be separated from the body in an "out-of-body experience". Vieira has written more than twenty books on the subject, and claims to have personally had out-of-body experiences on numerous occasions.

[edit] Volunteer Work

Many other institutions sprung from IIPC through the last years since is was founded. All of them, including the IIPC, have been, from the start, based on volunteer work rather than paid employment system. This has allowed only people with real interest in the ideas behind the institutions come through, to work with, and help them expand.
