Adventures beyond the body
Author: William Pullman

Explore new worlds without booking a flight! In Adventures Beyond the Body, William Buhlman recounts his fascinating experiences with astral travel, connects this phenomenon with current cosmological theories, and suggests that we all have the capability to travel to parallel universes.

Don’t worry about getting lost–Adventures is filled with well mapped methods for finding your way out of your body and into other worlds. Control is Buhlman’s mantra, specifically control over our fear of the unknown. He precisely addresses the common events that can occur during an out-of-body experience, taking the fear out of the journey, and allowing you to focus on living the adventure. –Brian Patterson

Astral Dynamics
Author: Robert Bruce

This is a basic book on Astral traveling. Robert has refined his teaching of out-of-body experiences by helping people learn over the web for almost a decade.

The book is original and the material is thought provoking. What I liked was that Robert stated how easy it is for anyone to soul travel and remember it.

I have had personal experiences with out-of-body experiences but personally felt they were something that rarely happen for me. So I have been reading this book each night before I go to sleep and practicing the exercises. Last night I flew out of my bedroom, around my farm, and to the tops of my neighbors tall poplar trees. The colors were beyond the normal spectrum of intensity and it was night time. I then crashed into a tree and instantly jumped up in bed with the vivid memory.

I believe this book is revolutionary. I think the techniques of seeing smoke rings raise up your body, relaxing it, and the image of pulling your inner body out with a spirit rope as you fall asleep are effective techniques. — Michael Peter Langevin Magical Blend–#68

Journeys Out of Body
Author: Robert Monroe

Mr. Monroe has set down and explained – and explained – some of his out of the body experiences here which are various called OOBEs, Second Body or Second State, or his “wild talent.” He’s been making these paranormal excursions here and there and up to Locales I and II for twelve years; no one has been able to give him much help so he has developed a whole scientific construct around them which involves a lot of extrapolation; he’s about to start a Mind Research Institute.

Among the more striking astral projections are those dealing with people who are dying or have just died (a doctor he knew, a young boy he didn’t know); then there’s the plane crash vision which preceded his medically unexpected heart attack. He follows up on each and every episode, tries to affirm how his Second Body looks and one witness, a R.W. he incorporeally dropped in on, confirmed that he was a “filmy piece of grey chiffon.” He attests to ongoing sexuality in the Second State which may be heartening: “In an immediate moment, there is a mind (soul?) shaking interflow of electrons one to the other, unbalanced charges become equalized, peaceful contended balance is restored, and each is revitalized.” And at the end he makes up (oops – that was our second head) some suggestions on how to parallel these experiences. Mr. Monroe is a radio writer-director but there’s a lot of scientific garblese coming over these frequencies. (Kirkus Reviews)
