The definitive work on the extraordinary phenomenon of out-of-body
experiences, by the founder of the internationally known Monroe
Institute.
Robert Monroe, a Virginia businessman, began to have experiences that
drastically altered his life. Unpredictably, and without his willing it,
Monroe found himself leaving his physical body to travel via a "second
body" to locales far removed from the physical and spiritual realities
of his life. He was inhabiting a place unbound by time or death.
Praise for Journeys Out of the Body
"Monroe's account of his travels, Journeys Out of the Body, jam-packed
with parasitic goblins and dead humans, astral sex, scary trips into
mind-boggling other dimensions, and practical tips on how to get out of
your body, all told with wry humor, quickly became a cult sensation with
its publication in 1971, and has been through many printings. Whatever
their 'real' explanation, Monroe's trips made for splendid reading."
--Michael Hutchinson, author of Megabrain
"Robert Monroe's experiences are probably the most intriguing of any
person's of our time, with the possible exception of Carlos
Castaneda's." --Joseph Chilton Pierce, author of Magical Child
"This book is by a person who's clearly a sensible man and who's trying
to tell it like it is. No ego trips. Just a solid citizen who's been
'out' a thousand times now and wants to pass his experiences to others."
--The Last Whole Earth Catalog
