I'll be honest, while I was always fascinated with the topic of OBE or Out-of-Body Experiences, I've never really had such an experience, at least not anything that I can recollect. However I remember my father and grandmother claiming to have strange and vivid out of body experiences during different periods of their lives. For example, during World War II, my grandmother was deployed in Iran, working on a Lend-Lease program. When she was first driven around Tehran, she was amazed at how familiar the streets and buildings looked, even though she never visited that city before. She always spoke with conviction that she had vivid dreams of Tehran, shortly before she arrived to Iran, and she could only explain these strange dreams by having an out of body experience.'Out-of-Body Travel: Develop the ability to visit parallel universes and explore life after death' by Dr. Jill Ammon-Wexler, is a well organized book that provides informative answers to anybody with an open mind and describes many methods on how to try and achieve OBE state.Other topics covered are:1. Brief History of OBE.2. Classification of different types of OBEs. How for example lucid dream is different from remote viewing experience.3. How to plan your OBE.4. Training exercises to strengthen mental focus.5. A useful Q&A; chapter at the end of the book addresses some of the common issues that people new to OBE might have.I personally found interesting the descriptions of different techniques that famous inventors, scientists and artists used to achieve that state. This subject, I believe, deserves a stand alone book at some point.Recommended for anybody who has interest in this controversial yet fascinating topic.
