This book is essentially a guidebook for anybody who is ready to begin out of body exploration on their own. If you’ve read enough about the “astral plane”, or “other dimensions”, or “other modes of existence” and are ready to actually experience it for yourself, then you’ll want to pick this book up and begin following its instructions right away.

Many techniques are presented for your use, along with descriptions of what to expect along the way. The author also helps us understand what sort of mindset is most conducive to successful out-of-body experiences (OBEs). Hint: control of your thoughts is key.

He includes several journal entries from his early days of OBEs which really brought the reality of the possibility of out of body travel clearly into my mind. This was really exciting and motivating.

One critique is that, in the middle of the book, the author goes into his own theories and speculations on the nature of physics and reality that he has derived from his 20 years of OBEs quite extensively. While the ideas are compelling, provocative, and even quite convincing, I think that it might have been more effective to cut all that in half and instead provide more of his personal journal entries from his early OBEs, like the ones he copied for the reader in the first 2 chapters.

I also would have liked to learn more about how meditation helps one to achieve OBEs. The author did not go into any depth around this.

I am currently using his techniques and will update this book review once I have achieved success! He says to give it 30 days at least.
