INTRODUCTION
This book is about Out-of-Body Experiences, or "OBEs" for short. The OBE is also called Astral
Projection in much of the literature. I'll use these terms interchangeably in this book. Simply put, an OBE
is an experience in which you seem to be consciously apart from your physical body.
This book is not a complete detailed discourse on the OBE; there are dozens of books on out-of-body
experiences, with stories, theories, and good information. Rather, this book offers a new perspective on
the OBE, based on the author's experience and point of view. My goal is not to reiterate the old theories,
but to present new information based on what I've learned and provide tools to induce OBEs.
A good word to describe an OBE is "Escapade," which has the same root as the word "Escape."
According to the American Heritage Dictionary, an escapade is:
An adventurous action that usually violates conventional standards of behavior.
It's an escape from our bodies. It is adventurous. And it certainly violates conventional standards of
behavior!
Most OBEs have common features. For instance, the subjects often see their own physical body during
the experience, like any other object in the room. They usually report having "ghostly" bodies that can
pass through solid objects during the experience. Sometimes their ghostly bodies are even seen by others!
They also report floating or flying, and often report seeing places or events that were out of eyesight.
There are many books about Out-of-Body Experiences with many different approaches, from scientific to
the occult (see the bibliography for more information). Many of these books give the readers stern
warnings against trying it themselves, for fear of: death, disease, possession, insanity, heart attack and
even the fear of being mistaken for dead and buried alive! I'm writing this book to try to dispel some of
these myths.
Is it Scary?
Of course it's scary. Anytime we face the unknown, it is frightening. But approaching anything with fear
is harmful. Early European sailors believed the Earth was flat and they could sail off the edge. Because
of their fear of the unknown, they concluded it was dangerous to sail too far west. When they conquered
their fear and went bravely ahead, not only did they discover a whole new world, they also made the
transition from two-dimensional thinking to three-dimensional thinking about their reality. Likewise, if
we can conquer our fears, we will also discover a whole new world, and we will make the transition from
three-dimensional thinking to four-or-more-dimensional thinking about our reality.
All the great pioneers have set aside their fears, at least temporarily, and gone ahead despite the dangers.
Courage is not the ability to walk into danger without fear. Courage is the ability to walk into a
dangerous or frightening situation and think to yourself, "Yes, I'm scared--I'm scared to death--but that's
not going to stop me." The thing I liked most about the book, Dune by Frank Herbert, is the saying that
"Fear is the mind-killer."
