 Poor editing July 28, 2008
This book is in desperate need of a careful editor. I greatly enjoyed 'Journeys Out Of The Body' but had to put this one down after a few chapters. I got to a point where you're presented with a dictionary of terms for the next part of the book, terms that have no relevance outside of the Monroe institute. Instead of presenting me with a dictionary, why not just rewrite the section in terminology everyone can understand? Reading should be a joy, not a chore.

This is an absolutely fantastic read. The stories and method of story telling are new and exciting.I'm very excited when a book can have a lasting and important impression upon my consciousness. This should be require reading if you are interested in the subject of OOBE or AP.

I really wanted to like this book because I loved Monroe's first book, but this one is just terrrible. I'm sorry, but unless you actually were in these studies at his laboratory decades ago, you probably won't understand what he's talking about throughout the book. I didn't get it at all after 30 or 40 pages into the book. If you're at the bookstore, flip through the book and you'll see what I'm saying. Perhaps if you're an experienced astral traveler you'll dig some of this mumbo jumbo but it's totally untelligible to me.

I've been involved with Out of Body Experiences, Remote Viewing, and such "crazy" ideas for a long time. These books are fantastic. Robert Monroe is a TRUE scientist, as he put EVERYTHING on the line to admit a truth that just couldn't be explained away.
I think it says volumes that the US Army Intel, US Airforce Intel, CIA, NSA, National Security Council, and every government agency in the US sent it's best and brightest officers to train with Robert Monroe. To this day the US Intelligence community continues to use OBE, Remote Viewing, and many of the "nutty" stuff Robert Monroe learned.
It's very sad, that the general public won't understand that the techniques, can exist in everyone and can be taught to everyone. Humanity will always be poorer for it.
RIP Robert, tell Patrick your guide hello.

If you want an insider's look at the nature of reality, then read all of Robert A. Monroe's books and take his workshops at the Monroe Institute, www.themonroeinstitute.com
He's written three books. It's important to read them in order: Journeys Out of the Body, Far Journeys, Ultimate Journey.
I've read each at least 4 times (and am still reading them)--and I never read anything twice--and am still getting huge insights and understandings about the nature of reality, our purpose here on earth, how it all works and why it is the way it is.
Additionally, Monroe's books have been the only books that have acknowledged the diversity of experiences that I've had, but that no one was/is writing about. Basically the resonance is so strong that I read and I cry.
The best there is.
