 The book that changed my life February 2, 2006
12 out of 13 found this review helpful
I read this book many years ago. It was the first book of its kind I had ever read. I was in my 20's and opening to a new world, much larger and more interesting than I thought possible before. Like me, Robert Monroe was a skeptic about "all of this" and he was the perfect one to break the ice for me. He writes in a very concrete, technical way about very non-ordinary experience. This is probably the only reason I was able to read through the book. It is just the way I needed it to be presented at the time. The exercises at the end of the book were very interesting, and though no OBE was experienced, a lot of non-physical vibration and awareness was.
This was my introduction to how much more we are than our physical bodies. Far Journey and Ultimate Journey are must reads for those that liked this book and want to learn more, including the further conclusions of his research. If you still want more then go for it, get the "Gateway Experience" CDs, or go to The Monroe Institute like I did. I always use his Hemi-Sync CDs in my healing sessions.
This book helped catapult me into my deep studies of Chinese Energetic Medicine, and Traditional Chinese Medicine, proving the validity of the main conclusion of Robert Monroe's works --"I am more than my physical body..."

Bob was bewildered the first time an out of the body experience happened to him. He thought he was going crazy.
After he developed the skill to the point where he could do it at will, he eventually met Dr Charles Tart, in the early 1960's, then at the University of Virginia, Parapsychology Dept. Tart would have a computer generate a random 6 digit number, display it on a display ten feet up in the air (that no one could see). Monroe would leave his body, go up read the number, come back and tell Charlie Tart what the number was!
A real controlled experiment. Over and over. (
This is documented in Tart's groundbreaking classic book on parapsychology, "Altered States of Consciousness".
Later, Bob, with various guidance and a lot of experimentation on himself and various gifted others, discovered a technology, Hemisync, to allow people to experience this themselves. Even scoffers and skeptics.
Yes, there is the The Monroe Institute hidden in the hills of Virginia. Yes, the best way to learn this stuff is to ante up and go there. Beyond that, buying each of the Gateway series, starting with "Discovery", from TMI and a great deal of practice is the best way to learn. You get out of it what you put in. Frankly, most people are idly curious but also too fearful, superstitious or lazy to get anywhere. But for those few who persevere, it is life-altering. Practice, practice, practice.
I don't think this is his best book, he changed his mind as he went along, but you need to read this to have a clue about the later ones. I would also recommend Far Journeys and Ultimate Journey.
Bob... died in 1995, in a world of phonies, he remains an OOBE authentic, a friend and a pathfinder.

Now, I know some people who read this book and really felt relieved afterwards. These are people who had strange experiences they could not explain (like having Out-Of-Body-Experiences).
However, for everyone else, I think this book is not worth the time reading.
I recommend you get the "Gateway-Series" CDs from the Monroe Institute. They really have an interesting and positive effect on your mind.

Robert Monroe still is an authority in the out-of-body experiences. In this book he tells you exactly how to do it, step by step, and the enormous implications of the truths you'll discover, for the human way of life as we know it now. Writen in a very easy to understand style, touching difficult matters in a very exquisit manner in order to sound not gross at all, you'll find yourself not wanting to put it down until you finish it. Reading this book will definitely change your life forever, and for the better. Find out for yourself!

Read the books, buy some hemisync cd's and go for a gateway voyage .. you wont regret it. Well you might but the odds of regret are very low. hehe. Basically his books are the edited and shortened history of his crazy travels in out of body form. Enjoyable to read beginning to end.
