“The Ultimate Time Machine: A Remote Viewer’s Perception of Time, and Predictions for the New Millenium”, Joseph McMoneagle. © 1998. Hampton Roads Pub. ISBN 1-57174-102-X.

After the Forward and Introduction (I recommend you read these), McMoneagle touches on STARGATE (remote viewing program), its protocols; the process of selecting targets and how the remote viewers worked. He also broaches myths about remote viewing.

Next he presents some very interesting remote viewings and “explorer sessions” of the past. This section really sucked me in!

For the rest of the book, McMoneagle presents detailed future viewing, including a chapter on the year 3000.

Personally, I would’ve liked McMoneagle to have expanded on past viewing/explorer sessions; I found this part fascinating.

I enjoyed this book and recommend it for all levels.

“Adventures Beyond the Body: How To Experience Out-of-Body Travel”, 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.

Biography of William Buhlman

William Buhlman is one of America’s leading experts on out-of-body experiences and astral projection.

The author’s thirty five years of extensive personal out-of-body explorations give him a unique and thought provoking insight into this subject. His first book, Adventures beyond the Body chronicles his personal journey of self-discovery through out-of-body travel, and provides the reader with the preparation and techniques that can be used for their own adventure.

During the last ten years he has conducted an international out-of-body experience survey that includes over 18,000 participants from 32 countries. The provocative results of this survey are presented in his book, The Secret of the Soul. This cutting edge book explores the unique opportunities for personal growth and profound spiritual awakenings that are experienced during out-of-body travel.

Over the past two decades William has developed a proven, effective system to experience safe, self initiated out-of-body adventures. He conducts an in-depth three-day workshop titled, Out-of-Body Exploration: Stepping beyond Time and Space.

As a certified hypnotherapist, William incorporates various methods, including hypnosis, visualization and meditation techniques in his workshops to explore the profound nature of out-of-body experiences and the benefits of accelerated personal development. Through lectures, workshops and his books the author teaches the preparation and techniques of authentic spiritual exploration.

The author brings a refreshing look to how we can use astral travel and out-of-body experiences to explore our spiritual identity and enhance our intellectual and physical lives. William is best known for his ability to teach people how to have profound spiritual adventures through the use of out-of-body experiences. In addition, he has developed an extensive series of audio programs that are designed to expand awareness and assist in the exploration of consciousness.

Thank you William!

“Aaron’s Crossing: An Inspiring True Ghost Story”, by Linda Alice Dewey. (c) 2006, Hampton Roads Publishing Company. ISBN 1-57174-512-2.

Linda, after visiting a cemetery, comes home with a ghost; his name, Aaron Burke.

This is Aaron’s story – his life, his death, and his after death.

The book opens with the author and a friend visiting a cemetery then switches to Aaron’s death.

From here we move through Aaron’s life (at age four, he is kidnapped by his father, and taken from Ireland to America), his encounters at the cemetery and his search for “the light” so he can cross over.

I enjoyed this book, and it brought new questions into my reality.

“Change Your Thoughts – Change Your Life: Living the Wisdom of the Tao”, by Wayne Dyer. (C) 2007, Hay House Inc. ISBN 978-1-4019-1184-3.

Dyer gives 81 verses, his interpretation, some examples, and exercises for each for the reader to experience.

I had always wanted to get learn more about the Tao, but – like most in today’s society – didn’t have the time to sit and figure out the interpretation of the Tao. Dyer does gives his view on it, and explains it wonderfully – and his exercises are great for anyone.

In all fairness, I have to let you know that I have not finished reading this book – and have been reading it now for about three months. This does not mean it will take you that long to read it.

So, why am I offering it up when I’ve not finished it? Because I think the book is great; and I haven’t finished it yet because I am taking my time with the exercises – I really am working on experiencing them.

As a side note: Dyer sometimes on PBS, and if you’ve the chance to see him – I think you will enjoy hearing him speak.

“Tracks in the Psychic Wilderness – An Exploration of ESP, Remote Viewing, Precognitive Dreaming and Synchronocity”, by Dale E. Graff. (C) 1998. Element Books. ISBN 1-86204-203-9.

Well, the title pretty much tells a lot! The author was the director of Project Stargate (Govt’s Remote Viewing Project).

This is his story about his experiences with the remote viewing program and experiments. He also had taught a course called “The Psychic Realm” – and includes some experiences with his students in the course.

Graff was also confronted with his students as well as remote viewing participants that he needed to experience this for himself – so he also did some of the exercises, with results that surprised him.

A little dry for my taste, but he does have an interesting story.

“Beyond the Ashes – Cases of Reincarnation from the Holocaust”, by Rabbi Yonassan Gershom. (C) 1992. A.R.E. Press. ISBN 0-87604-293-0.

Warning: Some people may find parts of this book disturbing – or may be offended (concerning possibly WWII concentration camp memories). I was not, and still recommend it for others.

Rabbi Gershom, a spiritual counselor, was contacted by many people who had been having memories related to World War Two, specifically relating to the Holocaust – memories that they were too young to have.

This book is about some of those people; their stories as well as Rabbi Gershom’s journey into new territory – Reincarnation.

After this book came out – Rabbi Gershom was inundated with many more stories of Holocaust reincarnation memories.

This is a wonderful book for those who a) have memories of a previous life b) and those like me, who grew up with memories of concentration camps.

“Beyond the Ashes” was received so well, it prompted his next (and final) book on this topic, “From Ashes to Healing – Mystical Encounters with the Holocaust”, (C) 1996, A.R.E. Press, ISBN 087604340-6.

In the second book, he basically allows the individuals (fifteen) to tell their own story.

He writes well, and I found he kept me captivated.
