Journeys Out of the Body: The Classic Work on Out-Of-Body Experience (Journeys Trilogy)

Product Information

If you have any curiosity about OBEs or astral travel and would like to take a look at the subject matter in a non-new-age way, this is definitely the book to do it with.

One thing that has stumped me since finishing the book which hopefully will be answered in the second two in the series is, why did this not catch and take off as Monroe laid out a very definitive course of study? As a result, his actual prose is "scientific" sounding: detached, neutral, and with a fair amount written in the passive voice. In spite of the lack of “hard” scientific data, there are still a number of definite conclusions one can make from reading what material there is. He presents many accounts of specific "trips" he made from his body, taken directly from the notes he made right afterwards each time. As He passes, there is “a roaring, musical sound and a feeling of radiant, irresistible living force of ultimate power”.

I could go into the circumstances of the crime, but suffice it to say that it was little more then a few dumb teenagers doing dumb teenager stuff and getting in serious trouble for it. Por más de que fuera real, en mi mente siempre me decía que este tipo de situaciones solo les pasarían a un determinado grupo de personas, las cuales poseen un don. His record of these explorations has comforted millions of people who have experienced paranormal incidents.

Robert Monroe has a humorous and understandable way of describing something unusual and otherworldly. He tries to take a scientific approach but the only scientific experiment done in the book is a failure. If you are interested in more information about OBEs, you may want to read Soul Traveler: A Guide to Out-of-Body Experiences and the Wonders Beyond or Multidimensional Man. After several tries, he managed to come up with some techniques and made the event more "controllable".

The book is seriously flawed insofar as it intends to provide any sort of proof, it being constituted primarily by a bunch of personal anecdotes and stories. Robert Monroe's experiences are probably the most intriguing of any person's of our time, with the possible exception of Carlos Castaneda's. Otra cosa que me gusta es que el autor, Robert Monroe, hoy en día conocido como el gurú de los viajes astrales y con centro de especialización propio, empezó su camino místico casualmente un día cualquiera, desdoblándose sin querer. Occasionally He will select someone from this living bridge, and this person is never seen or heard from again.

PSDT: Actualmente me encuentro muy segura de que todos (TODOS) somos capaces de realizar estos viajes. Sentí una especie de ruido que nacía en la parte de mis sienes hasta mi frente y después esa sensación de vibrar literalmente. Aunque parece que el universo entero existe también dentro de cada uno de nosotros, muy loco y más que loco otra vez MUCHO MUY AMPLIO. As I read the accounts of people who had died and then revived, and the profound emotional effect it had on them, notably in changing their values to be much more concerned with the welfare of others, I felt sure that their experiences were authentic, and I wanted to let their experience change my life as it had changed theirs. Fifth, in some instances of OOBEs the description of what was happening at a distant place is correct and more accurate than we would expect by coincidence.

If you are truly interested in OOBE this is the book for you, from the detailed encounters to instructions on how to initiate this experience for yourself. 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. In many cases, it simply happens during sleep without our having any idea of what might have caused it. One of these similarities was the sense of floating away from the physical body and witnessing events going on around and near their corpse.
