Adventures Beyond the Body: How To Experience Out-of-Body Travel by William Buhlman. © 1996, HarperCollins Publishers, Inc. ISBN 0-06-251371-0.
This book is neat! I have been doing OBE’s since I was a child – and honestly, it never occurred to me to “explore” as William Buhlman has – so, you all know what I will be experimenting with!
Buhlman begins his story explaining that he was very much ‘what I can see, I will believe’ type of person…until the summer of 1972, when his neighbor told Buhlman of his out-of-body experience (OBE).
Curious, Buhlman began researching OBE’s, and began experimenting with techniques. Just when he was beginning to form the conclusion that OBE’s were nothing more than “vivid dream”, it happened.
Buhlman guides the reader through his trial and error experiences of conscious OBE’s.
He shares some of his journaling; experiences in some detail; and explains (quite well for the non-linear thinking readers) a touch of physics and parallel universes.
He provides in-depth pre-OBE signals; how to leave the body; what you can do while out of body; and going back into the body; also has information for troubleshooting – such as not being able to leave the body and what can be done to overcome the block.
Buhlman also has some really neat visualization exercises to help the reader on their way.
The reader is swept up in the author’s journey from a third dimension being’s illusion to a multi-dimensional being’s reality.
Included are scripts to record your voice (or have someone else read you through it) for relaxation; techniques; experiment ideas for explorations and more.
Buhlman has put so much experience, information, and guidance in this one book – which really excites me. I recommend this book for all levels.
Something Extra:
I asked William the following question, and his answer follows:
“As one who has mastered the art of OBE’s, what message would you like to pass along to the readers today?”
Everyone has the ability to explore beyond their physical limits and obtain the answers for themselves. The key is the daily repetition of a proven induction method for an extended period of time. I provide forty different techniques for self-initiated out-of-body experiences in my books. Out-of-body exploration is an exciting and self-empowering journey of consciousness that opens vast unseen worlds for us to discover. It allows us to go beyond all beliefs and experience the truth of our existence beyond matter and form.
