Astral Dynamics: The Complete Book of Out-of-Body Experiences

Synopsis: Robert Bruce’s book, Astral Dynamics: The Complete Book Of Out-Of-Body Experience, is the second edition of his groundbreaking book, Astral Dynamics published in 1999. Both books are veritable bibles of out-of-body experience and cover the subject in incredible detail. Bruce’s book is about how to visit the astral planes and what one will find there, if “there” is the correct term. Astral Dynamics is a step by step guide on how to achieve a controlled out-of-body experience (OBE) that according to Bruce is achievable by virtually everyone. He not only tells you how to get there, Bruce guides you over the pitfalls and describes the wondrous sights ahead. Basic Themes: Bruce begins by describing the anatomy of consciousness and why OBE’s are even possible. He describes the various zones that make up the other dimensions starting with the “real-time zone” which exists just next to the physical world and shares some physical traits with it. He goes on to the deepest planes in the Astral zones. The “projectable double” is Bruce’s term for the part of us that actually does the OBE. Bruce provides a thorough anatomy of the human energy body and why we can have an OBE. His detailed description includes the three basic aspects of the projectable double. He goes on to explain that children and animals project regularly and naturally and that some people are forcefully projected in near death experiences. Bruce covers the mind split phenomena that occurs during an OBE and the difficulty of retaining a memory of the experience upon awakening. Astral sight is discussed in detail along with methods to control this sometimes difficult phenomenon. The issue of waking paralysis is covered. At the end of part one Bruce writes of the Higher Self and how affirmations can be used to elicit an OBE. The second part of the book concerns the energy body, its anatomy and how to enhance one's energy body. Bruce provides detailed instructions on exercises that enhance one's ability to do energy work through tactile imaging. This section is unique to Bruce and he elucidates the development of energy work to a fine degree reminiscent of the ancient Chinese masters and their descriptions of Qigong energy development. Bruce covers possible problems one may encounter during energy work and how to fix them. The third section of this work covers core skills used in the attainment of an OBE. Bruce speaks of relaxation techniques, controlling the ever chaotic mind and achieving the altered state. His detail makes it easy for anyone to have this interesting experience. The fourth section covers how to prepare for the OBE experience and what one will actually experience when going into the OBE. Exercises that enhance the ability to have an OBE and detailed techniques are discussed. Bruce also talks about the problem of suddenly exiting the OBE without intending to do so. Another difficulty he discusses is the issue of the mind-split. The mind-split makes it difficult to remember the shadow memories of the OBE. We all have OBEs but do not remember them because of the difficulty of retaining the shadow memory. Bruce goes on to describe the astral form when it is in motion. This presents some interesting phenomena when compared to physical motion. It is as though one has to relearn how to move in the astral form. Along with learning how to walk, one must learn how to fly and pass through solid matter. Distance is not an issue and can be traversed at will. Even going to other planets is possible. The fifth part of Bruce's book talks about the Akashic connection. Since the astral planes are unknown to our conscious minds, navigating while in the OBE is confusing and sometimes scary. The structure of the astral planes and their relationship to universal consciousness are discussed in detail. This gives the OBE traveler some sign posts to navigate by. The concept of energy cords and how the projected body is connected to the physical body are discussed. The Akashic records appear to be a recording of all information past, present and future. They can be accessed in an OBE as well as by persons with clairvoyant and psychic abilities. Bruce discusses how to access these records and how to find what you are looking for. Part six covers strange astral phenomena. Bruce talks about reality fluctuations, confusing effects, melting body parts and vision reversal. Higher dimensional levels and their aspects are discussed along with astral beings and wildlife. The issue of fear during an OBE is discussed as well as how to handle it. Writing Style: Robert Bruce has a gift in his ability to take nebulous ideas and express them in a manner anyone can understand. His task is especially difficult with this subject matter. Bruce takes concepts that exist beyond the average person’s experience and expresses them in a way that makes us want to experience the astral realms through an OBE. Who Should Read This Book: This book should be read by several groups of people. Healers will find the information especially useful to expand their understanding of the energetic levels and how to expand their sensitivity. The person interested in out of body experiences will find it an absolute necessity. Psychologists and others interested in altered perception will find valuable information from someone who has experienced altered states of perception first hand. Anyone who is interested in the spiritual nature of humankind should read this book. This book is enlightening and encouraging. It expands one’s concept of reality and opens the door to spiritual expansion. We are all part of a single reality, and Bruce’s illumination on the subject makes one feel connected to the universe and the warmth and promise it has to offer. I love the fact that Bruce takes the spiritual and gives concrete instructions on how to enhance one’s ability to perceive the spiritual. The illustrations are very informative and clarify concepts that are difficult to envision. The illustrations themselves are works of art by anyone’s estimation. What I like most is the step by step manner Bruce presents his material to make it simple to understand and follow. Astral Dynamics: The Complete Book Of Out-Of-Body Experience lives up to its title. It is definitely a complete and thorough guide to developing one’s energy and perception in order to experience an out of body experience. It is also a wonderful guide through the spiritual realm. I highly recommend this book to everyone. If even the strictest skeptic would follow the instructions provided in this book, they would become believers in mankind’s infinite nature.

I had purchased the earlier version of Astral Dynamics from Robert Bruce and considered it to be the best guide on achieving the out-of-body (OBE) projection state ever written. That being said, the new, revised addition is even BETTER. The format of the book is gentler on the eyes, with a larger copy and less words crammed onto each page, making the information a little easier to take in IMHO. The material and images have all been updated, and made easier to grasp. Robert Bruce has pulled out all the stops here, intricately explaining from top to bottom how the nature of reality is much broader than most realize, and how we are truly multi-dimensional beings, capable of complete awareness and survival beyond the confines of our "physical" vehicles, and how we are able to seperate consciousness and awareness beyond the confines of the matter-based world and universe into other realms of reality. He breaks down fantastically how these processes work and how to manipulate them for maximum effect and REMEMBRENCE of the experience, which is often times the difference between success and failure of the OBE process...A brief overview of chapters and materials covered: Part 1: ELEMENTS OF PROJECTION Chapter 1-Dimensional Theory Chapter 2-The Projectible Double Chapter 3-The Incredible "Mind-Split" Effect Chapter 4-Astral Sight Chapter 5-Waking Paralysis Chapter 6-OBE and Perception Chapter 7-Your Higher Self and You Part 2: NEW ENERGY WAYS Chapter 8-You and Your Energy Body Chapter 9-Running Energy Chapter 10-Primary Energy Center Work Chapter 11-Energy Work Issues Part 3: CORE SKILLS Chapter 12-Deep Physical Relaxation Chapter 13-Taming the Mind Chapter 14-Achieving The Altered State Part 4: PROJECTION EXIT AND TECHNIQUE Chapter 15-Preperations for Projection Chapter 16-OBE Exercises and Techniques Chapter 17-More OBE Techniques and Variations Chapter 18-Projection Exit Problems Chapter 19-Overcoming the Mind-Split Chapter 20-Lucid Dreaming and OBES Chapter 21-The Astral Form in Motion Part 5: THE AKASHIC CONNECTION Chapter 22-The Astral Planes Chapter 23-Connecting the Chords Chapter 24-The Akashic Records Chapter 25-The "Astral Wind" Part 6: STRANGE ASTRAL PHENOMENA Chapter 26-OBE and "Reality Fluctuations" Chapter 27-Higher Dimensional Levels Chapter 28-Astral Beings and Wildlife Chapter 29-Fear-Based Issues and Solutions Chapter 30-Astral Noise and Things That Go Bump in The Night Chapter 31-Working with your "Higher Self" Followed by a detailed Index for easy looking up of particular subject matter. This book has been tremendously written and updated, and is sure to be a classic in the library of all interested in altered and expanded states of awareness and consciousness, the OBE and Lucid experiences, and the very nature of reality and our Multi-dimensional capabilities. Exceptional work. 5 + stars!

The 99% I do like: This is a serious book on out of body experiences and energetics (which are complimentary, by the way). Think of the energetic work he describes as being a way to tune yourself up and keep yourself in good shape for your out of body experiences. One of the exercises in particular works for me in triggering separation. In fact, I had two OBEs last night using his techniques. He describes what you may encounter in detail which is very helpful. If you're looking for a pamphlet to magically send you on your way on peter pan adventures in 24 hours, look somewhere else because this is for serious students who understand that it's a process, a journey. This book is a thorough and engaging description. I haven't experienced every single thing he describes, but I can vouch for a fair enough percentage to make me inclined to entertain his descriptions of things I haven't seen first hand. On the detailed descriptions, there was one, Astral wind, which he describes and I had not experienced until recently. The first time, I was scared by it but the second time it happened I joyfully went with it, remembering what he'd written about it. So I have directly benefitted from his writing. The one thing I don't like: One energetic description he writes about, "tearing" the chakras, I couldn't get behind - I can do that as massage, but not a tearing. His description is fair enough though - you might like it. Other than that, I liked the energetics as well as the OBE descriptions - that means I liked everything with the exception of one paragraph, so it definitely gets five stars from me. Kindle Specific Notes: Another reviewer mentioned there was no table of contents on kindle but mine has one and the book is easily navigable. Maybe they updated it. I also use the Text-to-Speech feature on all my books and it worked just fine on this one.

So my fiancé and I have bought this book something like 3x each now. It keeps growing legs and disappears. Lol but the author is on point af, I’m an American Indian Healer, my great grandpa was the last medicine man for the entire Kickapoo nation, so to find something written the details an applied science to something so important to me is the greatest gift ever. Most people think it’s all a big mystery or something that is beyond the comprehension of the average person but it’s not. Spirit science like in this book is something easy to understand and should be taught early in life along with learning to read and write add and subtract we too should teach manners and etiquette, science should include a full breakdown of anatomy physiology of the male and female body as well as the spirit and meridians, chakric centers and their corresponding colors and musical notes, shapes and vibrational impressions and emotional tendencies as well as a practice of their healthy maintenance. Just my own little bit I’d thought I’d leave here... anyways I say if you’re a collector of alchemical text then do urself a favor and buy two copies.

Quality, worth reading the content of this book regarding OBE

I used to be into astral projection 5 years ago. I've had a handful of out of body experiences. I bought this book a few weeks ago because I've wanted to get back into it. This book is very interesting, it's long and full of astral theory. It's really not good as a step to step guide to projecting. It serves more as an information source. If you're new to astral projection, I would go for the author's other book, "Mastering Astral Projection: a 90 Day.." I haven't read it personally but I've heard it's more straightforward. This book has tons of substance, but if I was new to projection I would find it intimidating. But not to take anything away, if you're a beginner this book would serve as a great information source. I would use it as supplementary material, but not the main step by step guide you're using to achieve an out of body experience.

Thank you for such a descriptive book on something so special. I look forward to growing in this journey. Happy Travels!

i seriously love this book. it’s quite long and is full off information but it is definitely addictive. it covers OBE (out of body experiences), the astral realm, astral projection, and the science behind it. the book shipped quickly and came in perfect condition. this book is definitely legit, all the information is correct. this is great if you want to learn how to astral project or start your astral journey! thank you!

Very interesting read. I bought this after I actually experienced an OBE. So I simply wanted to learn more.

muy buenas explicaciones, muy detallado, buena estructura

Probablement un des meilleurs livres que j’ai lu jusqu’à présent sur l’énergétique et les méthodes de voyage astral. Les explications données sur notre fonctionnement énergétique sont très claires et parfois même plus claires que des livres dont l’énergétique est le sujet principal. L’expérience de l’auteur apporte une dimension et une vision différente sur les différents corps énergétiques et la façon dont nous les utilisons durant notre sommeil et durant les OBE. A lire sans hésitation !

I would just like to say what a wonderful book this is I just can't say how much it has changed my peace of mind!! It covers many other important subjects as well as OBEs such as spiritual and common sense topics. I owe this author so very much the way this book has helped me you just have to read it to know. Dont miss this fantastic book you wont regret buying it and I got mine on Kindle. Thank you again dear author.

Lohnenswerte Lektüre!
