My hope is that with this book, you will be able to successfully perform your first out of body experience. Why learn about astral travel? • Experience lucid dreams • Increase concentration • Aid in relaxation • Increase positive thinking • Leave you more open to possibilities • Increased confidence • Decrease the effect of fear You will need astral projection not only as a leisure activity but to find out more about the different aspects of your being that have stayed hidden to you in the past. These hidden aspects could often act as deterrents in the quest for emotional stability and mental maturity. Astral projection is also a necessary tool for helping humans understand the things that science cannot explain, such as the events that happen after one’s mortal body dies, how the universe interacts, and what the role of humans is in the general concept of universe.
