Astral Projection and the Nature of Reality: Exploring the Out-of-Body State
Part phenomenology, part introduction and part instruction manual, this book attempts to explain the nature of astral projection and urge readers to give it a try. Magnus, entrepreneur by day, certified Reiki master by night, confesses early on that after becoming interested in astral projection via the Internet and many initial attempts to move beyond the realm of the physical, it was sleep that opened the door to his first experience of getting "sucked into another dimension of existence." Magnus provides readers with exercises galore, personal journal entries of astral experiences and a serious dose of encouragement to join him in discovering new realms. Those readers who are eager, like Magnus, to "get [their] mind and body in shape for the big exit" and experience worlds "that may or may not resemble our physical universe" have come to the right place. Magnus is passionate about his subject, knowledgeable in personal experience and adept at describing his topic with clarity. Yet beyond his initial informational chapters, Magnus presumes that, like him, "you [too] have seen the astral," an assumption that may or may not be accurate. Ultimately, this is not a book that will persuade skeptics.(Jan.)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
