Muddy Tracks
Exploring an Unsuspected Reality
by: Frank DeMarco
Introduction by Colin Wilson

     What is reality? For millennia, human beings have slowly gathered pieces of the puzzle. During that time, many religious and scientific institutions have arisen as we tried to make a single piece here or there become the whole puzzle, creating a huge network of belief systems to fill in the gaps. Now, some are becoming convinced that “belief,” and “knowledge”—something that comes from first-hand experience—are not the same, and that reality is much greater than anything we have previously accepted as truth. Frank DeMarco is one of those convinced and, in his new book Muddy Tracks, he explains why.

     Frank DeMarco—author and co-founder, co-owner, and Editor-in-Chief of Hampton Roads Publishing Company is also an early explorer of the uncharted territory that lies beyond this known reality. In Muddy Tracks, DeMarco relates his personal search for “what is real” in his life and his need for putting meaning back into it. He shows how selected reading, dream analysis, and interaction with friends and so-called strangers have enriched his life. He also describes some of the unusual resources he has discovered and used, particularly in connection with out-of-body explorer Robert Monroe and The Monroe Institute. Most importantly, he tells of some of the nearly unbelievable things he has learned to do—things, he points out that are natural human abilities, available to all. By sharing his personal explorations, DeMarco hopes to provide others with the tools and incentive to discover first hand that we, individually and collectively, are more than we have ever believed possible.

     As noted British author Colin Wilson says in his Introduction, “Frank’s experience has been in many ways remarkable, and he has a natural gift for making it come alive.”  Muddy Tracks is an honest and engaging account of a man who has challenged traditional beliefs and mores to find meaning in his life.
