Product Description: Imagine the wonder of leaving your body to travel to places and realms you have only dreamed of. Out of Body Experiences is the book to teach you how to leave your body and what to expect when you do it. A simple step-by-step manual and "flight guide" the author talks not only about his own experiences, but what you may encounter when you leave the body. For the first time, out-of-body experiences are accessible to anyone who cares to try.
Amazon.com Review: Out of Body Experiences could be summed up in Robert Peterson's own words: it's "what the books didn't tell me." Many people have tried to have out of body experiences (OBEs) and are discouraged when things don't go exactly as the books suggest they should. Peterson assures readers that anyone can have an OBE, and relates the difficulties and discoveries in his personal quest for them. His anecdotal, reassuring approach makes the whole experience seem much more accessible than do other books on the subject, which tend to read like textbooks. Peterson also addresses odd and potentially startling aspects of the OBE that the more technical books neglect to mention. Out of Body Experiences is a casual, friendly approach to astral travel that should be the first book anyone attempting an OBE reads, and should be high on the reading list of anyone who has tried unsuccessfully to leave his body.
OBE experiences Journal entries and actual descriptions of the author's many OBE experiences and numerous workbook exercises for the reader to try. Many interesting observations about OBEs. Good bibliography at end of book.
excellent this book is well written and puts alot of fears to rest. i find that your expectations highly affect what you experience and this book keeps you in a good frame of mind. this was the first book to get my friend "OUT" and she cherishes this book. i have a special attachment to another book because it was the first to get me "out", even though this robert peterson book is a better, more well rounded book. i highly reccommend this book, actually i just let a few people borrow it, they love it.
Hey! My book is FREE!! Wow! Its very cool that Bob Peterson and Charles Tart have written a book together. I feel a kinship with Bob even though I have never met him and never read his books, because both my and his books on OBE were out in cyberspace at about the same time. Charles Tart is, of course, a legend.
Anyway, if you want to learn about this stuff and not pay for it, read my book DO_OBE. If you google it you can find a copy.
Still in shock! previous beliefs blown to bits! Ha! f--king immortals who would have ever guessed? this book was written in a way by which the average human can gain valuable insight. written in simple language. The author reminds me of myself quite a bit, as far as initially being fearful and shocked by the concept of us, humans beings, possesing like a secret 3rd eye which would allows for us to see things and go to places simply by concentrating & adjusting our vibrations.
My reflections after reading:
1. I realized that alot of the things in the Bible, Koran, etc are very much valid. its just that the old scriptures are written in 2000 year old language. The idea of different religions is something like an exaggeration & lead by fanatics who dont realize that everyone is right.
2. Most fanatics are driven by one thing..."fear". Fear truly is the mind killer! my experience has helped me to embrace a more logical belief. There should be a human religion as we are all connected! We should not fear each other.
This book will bring you 1 step closer to what we really "REALLY" are....1 step closer 2 truth.
Okay.... This is an interesting book to read, BUT, Robert Monroe's books, especially the first (Journeys Out Of the Body) and third (Ultimate Journey) are better, in my opinion -- especially if you are looking for a method. Robert Monroe had more, deeper, and better-understood OOBE's. Peterson definitely got out there, but his insights were not as good. I think some of his interpretations may be just plain erroneous. Also, Peterson often had a lot of trouble getting out. It's clear from his list of exercises for developing consciousness and getting OOB that he has a particular mindset or mental type which is different from Monroe's (and from mine). It doesn't have to be that hard to "get out," so Peterson is probably experiencing doubts, fears, ambivalence. Or maybe he has a different astral er, "constitution"? That said, there are different flavors of ice cream for a reason, and for some people Peterson might be just the right one. I did like the way he included material about working, riding the bus to work, etc. which brought the whole body of material "down to earth", made it more believable, and showed the reader how Peterson fit into the everyday world. This book is available for free online.
