Product Description
After literally stumbling into orbs appearing as bright as light bulbs in photographs he was taking at a spiritual retreat, Dr. Klaus Heinemann immediately sensed that he was onto something profound. There was no choice but to convince himself that his notion was on solid grounds. Heinemann looked at thousands of pictures he had taken earlier, and thousands more would be taken to test the hypothesis that these light circles are nothing less than emanations from Spirit beings. Dr. Miceal Ledwith had a similar experience after the orb phenomenon was first made known to him through the teachings of Ramtha. He began an intense and systematic study of orbs in all sort of situations, day and night, and in all sorts of atmospheric conditions, in order to discover all he could about their nature, the situations in which their presence could be most easily detected, and what implications they might have for our understanding of our own place in the cosmos. To date, he has amassed a collection of well over 100,000 images. In The Orb Project, Ledwith and Heinemann present their fascinating discoveries, along with practical tips that amateur digital photographers can use to photograph orbs and properly distinguish them from "false" orbs that are really dust or water particles. They offer guidelines on deciphering the orbs' various patterns, features, and characteristics, based on their extensive research. As Dr. Ledwith points out, once you develop a keen and sustained interest in photographing spirit entities, some quite interesting things begin to happen: the brain stops censoring these images, and you can begin to see with orbs with the naked eye -- in more color and detail than is visible to even a digital camera. Ledwith and Heinemann also explore communication with orbs and what their existence means to our lives. The implications of a realization that we are "surrounded by a cloud of witnesses" are enormous and incredibly hopeful for the world at large.

 Fascinating June 5, 2008

I found this book utterly fascinating. I have my own collection of orb photos, and it was wonderful to read validation of their existence. I loved reading the two differing points of view about the orbs and hope that others will appreciate this phenomenon as well.
 Not sure about this topic May 17, 2008
I had read articles about orbs and thought this book would be more objective in its approach and it really wasn't. While it's possible multi-dimensional entities appear as orbs I think these photographers are creating orbs in some way. They're NOT frauds. I believe these people are sincere. I just think that somehow --- maybe in their auras -- they're producing energy that manifests as orbs. Of course, if you think the 3D world is it, you won't like this book. Serious multi-dimensional investigators, however, might be disappointed.
Great Book on Orbs March 27, 2008

I really enjoyed this book. It is the only book to date that has given some sort of scientific and spiritual explanation about orb photo's. I have been taking orb photo's since 2001 when I got my first digital camera. I think that there is much more to the story of orb's that we have only begun to figure them out. Thanks for writing a such a controversal book. I for beleive they are spiritual in nature. I will keep taking photo's of orbs as a amatuer photographer.
Enlightening March 5, 2008

For several years, I have viewed orbs as evidence of the paranormal, ghosts, in a simpler word. I am now starting to rethink this perspective. After reading this book, which I was given to by a friend who has dealt with the paranormal for almost all of her life, I can honestly say that there's much more to this phenomenon that I realized.
First off, I no longer feel that orbs are evidence of deceased individuals. The may be beings living in an entirely different dimension, and through the technology embedded in our digital cameras we are able to see this energy crossing over.
The book itself was very well written, included a multitude of evidence comparing both genuine and artificial orb photographs, and approached the topic from two very different sides. The first part of the book explores the evidence itself, focusing on the technology and possible ways in which we're experiencing/documenting the phenomenon. The second half of the book, approaches the subject from a much more spiritual approach, seeking mankind's enlightenment.
I highly recommend this book, it gave my research plenty of new directions to explore.
New frontiers February 27, 2008

It's my belief that The Orb Project, for what ever it may first appear to the skeptical scientific mind, is actually part of the early, entirely scientific, penetration of a frontier on a par with that of Magellan witnessing for the first time (in European history) the vast reaches of the central Pacific. In fact, the implications of this research stretch beyond the horizon of mere global exploration, (obviously no small claim on my part) because, what the book opens, and invites more of, is the systematic investigation of the possibility/proof of coexistent dimensions in interaction with our own, by witnessing the astounding, yet completely simple physical evidence, we ourselves confirm our own existence with constantly, photographs.
Clearly, the authors bring their own leanings and beliefs to the study; point in case, being Heinemann's insistence on the term "Spirit emanations". Apparently however, that did not dilute the rigorous scientific slice and dice they've spent collective decades scrutinizing their own and others' data with. So, although their "spirituality" fuels their investigation, as it may your own, it also provides a universe of speculation in that most scientific of probing questions - hypotheses. To quote Ledwith, however out of context "... it simply means that our understanding of "spiritual" would stand in sore need of redefinition.
And that's exactly what these two, I must say, brave man, are contributing to, by making it very clear what the difference is between a photograph of water droplets, dust, reflections, camera malfunctions, or what have you, and - an Orb. I guarantee that no matter how you respond to the information in this book, you'll never look at your digital photos the same way again. I highly recommend it.
