book is all about. This is the moment to lay beliefs aside and to do—to find out for yourself who you truly are and what this reality is all about. This is the time to not just read about it, not just hear people talk about it, but know it and do it. I am talking about the survival of the soul. Are we more than these fragile, fleshy shells? The exercises and techniques in this book work. I’ve always been interested in astral travel, and since high school have tried dozens of methods for fueling an out-of-body experience. At first I experimented with hypnosis recordings, but received little more than pleasant relaxation sessions for my efforts. A powerful dream I had one summer in college led me to explore lucid dream–induced OBEs, but I was discouraged by this method’s hit-and-miss results and how often dream elements imposed themselves on the experience. Since then I have explored dozens of books and recordings promising an out-of-body experience, yet I’d only advanced a few steps toward a true understanding of larger realities. After all this, I achieved noticeable results the first time I tried the techniques in Robert Bruce’s book about out-of-body experiences, Astral Dynamics. The aspect I loved most about the program was that, from the beginning, I received daily validation that there is something to astral travel. I learned very quickly that one does not need to have a full-blown out-of-body experience to develop a profound understanding that we are spiritual beings inhabiting physical bodies. When I finished Astral Dynamics I immediately organized a comprehensive, progressive program that I could more easily learn and implement. I e-mailed what I’d done to Robert Bruce and, with suggestions from him and his friends, I created an electronic version of the program, which was an amalgamation of a day planner, journal, and Astral Dynamics reference manual. Robert posted the program on his website, which allowed me to receive even more feedback. Before long, Robert and I recognized that a guidebook was evolving, something that might help many other people experience the out-of-body state. This book is the result. This book is the guide I wish I had had when my interest in out-of-body exploration started all those years ago. The amazing journey that awaits you is something you must experience to understand. I promise, if you follow the blueprint laid out in these pages, you will know a great deal more about yourself than when you started—but like any great journey, it all begins with that first step.
