Journeys Out of the Body

Bought this because I accidentally astral projected and wanted clarity around the whole thing. Extremely knowledgeable and no bs. Everything is backed up and clear to understand. Amazing descriptive voyages into the astral plane. Also aligned perfectly with my perspective of the things I perceived whilst projecting.

“Journeys out of the Body” by Robert Monroe"Robert Monroe's book is an easy, informative and interesting read compared to William Buhlman’s “Adventures beyond the Body” which is rather technical. It is a must read for those interested in or who wish to explore out of body experience.Monroe’ discovery, experiments and records of his second body engaged in astral projections and viewing out of the body experience are, indeed, a phenomenon. Some may be consider them as dreams or hallucinations that appear real but are actually created by the mind.Robert Monroe hopes that someday “our life sciences will unravel this knowledge and a new era will be born for mankind"Astral travelling is not new. In theosophy we learn of the astral body or double permeates the physical body. At the great Vesak Festival held once a year in Lord Maitreya's residence in the Himalayas, the brotherhood travels to the meeting via astral projection.Experiments in out of body journeys are not for the weak-hearted. The greatest fear is whether one will be able to return to the physical body. The interesting part is one can see what happens to people in various time frames and situations. Surprisingly sexual desires are heightened during the second body state. It varies in intensity with the opposite sex but the act itself is "not an act at all but an immobile, rigid state of shock where the two truly intermingle”With so much power in the out of body experience one wonders if one can meet up with dead parents and relatives. It is not considered in the book although the author states that he finds no "evidence to substantiate the biblical notions of God and afterlife in a place called heaven".In conclusion one may ask what is the personal benefit of all these out of the body experience? It seems it is more of a personal experience.

This kindlebook that is Journeys Out of the Body; The Classic Work On Out of Body Experience by Robert A Monroe features the author’s experiences of juggling his career life and spiritual mystical life. I admit that I purchased this book over 16 months ago (May 5, 2017) and I do derive some benefit from this kindlebook while I admit to needing more time to reconcile some of the references made to what could be earth plane parallel realities. Monroe’s mystical experiences in this book sometimes touch upon sleeptime dreams relating to other planes of existence that would need to be looked at with an open mind. One of the experiences that I did find heartfelt in his kindlebook was when he recalled why he wishes he would have went to Europe with one of his friends when the chance was offered to him. Still, I am glad to have obtained this book for some of the out of body mystical experiences that the author shared for further intuitive and spiritual understanding and I’m aware that the way I feel about this book can possibly change more over time which is why I intend to keep this kindlebook.

I don't know what to make of this book. I read it because Dr. Eben Alexander cited it in his book.From my reading, the author Robert Monroe, a very educated, accomplished, and obviously functional member of society, with candor and apparent sincerity, describes decidedly otherworldly experiences. And he does so in detail and with the same sort of random narration of people, places, and events that somebody might write into their personal journal during a trip to, say, Europe or the Far East. I've never quite read anything like it before, regarding its scope and breadth. This puts Dr. Alexander's brief account into much broader perspective, to say the least. It's so interesting and inspires intense curiosity, but I'm afraid that I've absolutely no basis to fairly evaluate the larger question that many reading this book surely must ask: did this really happen? I don't know how to begin to answer that without making the journey for myself, and I'm not sure if I can even do that. This is all new to me. The thought that somebody might actually leave their body shocks my admittedly pedestrian notions of reality.The book receives 5 stars for making me sincerely wonder what happen to him, the how and why. This doesn't read like fiction or somebody's dream journal. He's not crazy, and he had no apparent, ulterior motive to write this book, either. So what happened to him? The questions it raises and possible answers obviously carry great weight and importance.

Whether you believe in AP or not, this is a very good read. Highly recommend

Very good read for this interested in this genre and would like further information on this topic. The author expresses themselves very well throughout this literature. I would recommend this book to those who like to have a better understanding or those who already have an appreciation of this and would like to immerse themselves more on this topic. Highly recommend this book / author and seller. Shipping and handling arrived new and without defects and well presented packaging.

This book will keep you interested throughout, the type of book you simply can't put down.Robert Monroe's personal account of his out of body experiences are incredibly clear and objective, a very methodical reporter too!.His out of body experiences started spontaneously in the 50's, scared and confused at first, he thought he was possibly loosing the plot. After several physical examinations and in view that everything was fine, he asked a psychiatrist friend to honestly give him an opinion, luckily for Monroe, his friend encouraged him to 'explore' more. This lead to several encounters with other scientists who were interested in making experiments as part of his personal research. All of this provided sufficient proof of a second body and its ability to move independently from his physical body.Although I don't need confirmation, after having had some experiences myself, his reports are fascinating. There are 2 other books that he wrote after this, not to be missed!.Enjoy :-)

I’m quite interested in OOBE’s, since I have had the beginning stages happen to me many times, but I’ve blocked them out of fear of the unknown. I can’t say this book was comforting in any way or even instill in me the desire to actually have an OOBE now. Just very strange “journal” type writing that didn’t seem to add up to much to be honest. Quite disappointed and am 3/4 through and am not really keen on picking it up and finishing it even.Quite disappointing, but buy it if you’re into the subject and see how you feel about it. I personally wasn’t a fan.

A fascinating honest account of a man finding his way through reoccurring out of body experiences in the 1960s & 70s, a time when the subject was seen as taboo.Robert Monroe didn’t have the knowledge we are able tap into today and had to make his journey alone for fear of being labelled for talking about his discoveries.Robert later went on to found the Monroe Institute, one of the the leading authorities of out of body experiences in the world today.Definitely a great read for anyone interested in this subject

I like the clear way Robert documented his OOB experiences. It's a subject which interests me greatly - If it's something that interests you too, this book is a great way to deepen and clarify your interest.Robert says it how it is and doesn't clutter it with either spiritual or occultist jargon, or exaggerated sensationalism, common to writings about this subject.He speaks warmly of other people too,A pleasant and easy read really & a real mind opener, if you are new to OOB experiences!

If you suffer from health anxiety, anxiety of dying this book might help you. In general, it helps to have something to believe in and the thought that life is not over and the fact that there's more but we don't see is its amazing.
