Explore the Extraordinary: A Guide to Out-of-Body Travel and Beyond

Erika: This book has been one of my slowest reads ever.
Not because it is difficult or challenging to read, but because I was fully invested in what I was taking in.

There are aspects of the book that really worked for me and some that did not.
But learning to have OOB experiences is a personal path and I don’t believe there is only one way.

I have had one OOB experience since reading this book and I am going to keep practicing until I get it reliably.

Lil-Rumi: Ik heb de boek alleen tweedehands gekocht omdat ik het dan een dag eerder binnen zou krijgen inplaats van een nieuwe te bestellen en het dan maandag zou binnen hebben. Verder is het tot nu toe een interessant boek. Maar voor een boek dat in “zeer goede” staat had moeten zijn, vind ik het eerder goed tot gemiddeld.

Joseph J. Truncale: As a voracious reader well into their senior years my interests lately has drifted into the esoteric. I admit to becoming fascinated with time travel, parallel worlds and astral projection and astral travel. While browsing on line I discovered this very interesting and informative 292 page soft cover book (Adventures beyond the body: How to experience out-of-body travel by William Buhlman) on Amazon for a bargain price.

Even though this book is more than 20 years old (published in 1996); nevertheless, I found the most of the information is still relevant today in 2021. The unique and unusual experiences of the author in his personal research into astral projection and travel will intrigue you. One of the things that made this book appealing to me was the way the author combined modern day scientific discoveries and esoteric theories along with his astral travel experiences.

He relates discoveries made in cosmology, quantum physics, and Einstein’s theory of relativity in an attempt to explain how it is possible to move into other realm like astral travel. This makes for fascinating reading.

The book is organized into two parts. The first part is about the...

BSK: Excellent ouvrage! Le livre de W. Bulhman convient au grand débutant dans le domaine des sorties hors du corps, tout comme à l'explorateur avancé.
Les techniques sont à la portée de tous. L'auteur a aussi pris soins de sélectionner judicieusement les techniques pour donner un choix varié en tenant compte des acquis de chacun.
Ce guide ne fait pas qu'offrir les techniques pour arriver à faire une sortie hors du corps en pleine conscience, mais aussi comment expérimenter son sois-supérieur, comment adapter son taux vibratoire, enseigne des techniques pour des explorations en groupe, des techniques de guérisons sont aussi expliquées.
A lire et relire sans modération. Ce livre est une mine d'or pour les personnes intéressées au phénomène des sorties hors du corps.
Si je devais choisir un livre à garder pour le restant de mes jours concernant les voyages astraux, ce serait sans une once d'hésitation, Adventures Beyond the Body, de W. Bulhman.

Amazon Customer: I started reading books about OBE after a friend asked my opinion about the subject, since I wasn't very familiar with the subject I ended up picking up some books to read before giving my input. One of the first books I read was Robert Monroe's book, Journeys Out of the Body, and I have to say that I was laughing at some of the absurd stuff in there, specially the vibrational state. But since I was already taking a look at the subject I decided to try one of his techniques and after a few days I ended up on what is called the vibrational state. That to me was what still kept me interested on the subject and made me look at OBEs as at least something to look a bit further.

When it comes to Mr. Buhlman's book I have to say it was a bit of a disappointment. The beginning of the book is pretty much like many other books out there, how he heard about it, what made him try it and some of his experiences. But then he jumps into all this "scientific" stuff behind OBEs and what he BELIEVES that will happen in the future with technology and how science will change. All of sudden I feel like I'm reading a sci-fi book full of guesses and beliefs, to don't mention the amount of...

Kiran: I wouldn't want to review the book separately as it has been reviewed in depth by learned people already. I am in consensus with the existing reviews. Yes! The book is truly amazing and out of the world.

My only disappointment is that the quality of the book is very poor. For the price I paid, I was disappointed to see such low quality standards. The quality is not even half worth the price paid. Considering the popularity of the concept and also the author, the quality of the book is not at all justified. I guess the book is a fortune to the author and thousands of copies would have been sold. It would be really great if printing standards are elevated to meet the standards of the topic and the author. There are so many books (including OOBE books) available for a much lower price but excellently printed. I am giving 4 stars only because the printing quality of the book let my expectations down. Otherwise, the book is a priceless asset to all those who wish to be explorers and not mere believers.

theblackrabbitofinle: I really love this book. It was the only book on OBE's that dissipated my fears and actually made me exited and want to have an OBE. Like the other reviewers say, the author sounds really genuine and open and writes in a way that is easy to understand. I tried the techniques and after just two weeks had an OBE! At first I didn't know it was an OBE, it felt like a very vivid dream. I thought I had just imagined how it would be and had dreamed about it. But another morning a couple of weeks later it happened again! Just the same way, with the vibrations and all. Except the second time felt less like a dream, but was still hazy.

One recommendation I have that is not outlined in the book is, if you start to feel the vibrations, don't immediately try to get out. Try to relax further till they run their course and go away. Just relax further. Once they go away, THEN try to leave. If you try to leave during the vibrations you will lose a lot of energy and your experience will be more dreamlike and hazy. (I got this info off the internet.)

The reason I say this is because the second time I had the OBE I tried to leave as soon as the vibrations started and had problems...
