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:
