Astral Projection And the Nature of Reality: Exploring the Out-of-body State [Paperback]

John Magnus (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 1, 2005

For nearly a decade, Hampton Roads has been at the forefront of publishing books on the out-of-body exploration of the astral world. Following in that tradition comes Astral Projection and the Nature of Reality, a work that goes farther than ever before in explaining the dimensions to which the out-of-body adventurer can go. Magnus provides a brief history of astral projection and then guides the reader through a step-by-step course for reliable projection. Once out-of-body, Magnus explains how we create our own astral world and offers techniques for taming both our mind and the nature of our reality.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Part phenomenology, part introduction and part instruction manual, this book attempts to explain the nature of astral projection and urge readers to give it a try. Magnus, entrepreneur by day, certified Reiki master by night, confesses early on that after becoming interested in astral projection via the Internet and many initial attempts to move beyond the realm of the physical, it was sleep that opened the door to his first experience of getting "sucked into another dimension of existence." Magnus provides readers with exercises galore, personal journal entries of astral experiences and a serious dose of encouragement to join him in discovering new realms. Those readers who are eager, like Magnus, to "get [their] mind and body in shape for the big exit" and experience worlds "that may or may not resemble our physical universe" have come to the right place. Magnus is passionate about his subject, knowledgeable in personal experience and adept at describing his topic with clarity. Yet beyond his initial informational chapters, Magnus presumes that, like him, "you [too] have seen the astral," an assumption that may or may not be accurate. Ultimately, this is not a book that will persuade skeptics. (Jan.)

5.0 out of 5 stars The Premier Book on Astral Projection, February 14, 2006

By 

Tommy Wachter "Jennifer" (Nebraska) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Astral Projection And the Nature of Reality: Exploring the Out-of-body State (Paperback)

It took me two days to read this book because once I started I couldn't put it down.

Mr.Magnus leads us through various exercises to show us how we too can have an astral projection. The exercises are fun and interesting. He also adds entries from his journal that makes the reader feel that they too can achieve the ability to enter the astral realm.

This book is easy to read unlike many other books on the subject which make the reader feel bogged down with specificities which soon become boring.

A beautifully written, enthusiastic book about a subject that is surrounded in mystery.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow..., January 5, 2007

By 

Gorgasmic Misanthrope (Wichita, KS USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Astral Projection And the Nature of Reality: Exploring the Out-of-body State (Paperback)

I have to say that this is probably my favorite book of all time. Now, I'll tell you why. Not only does John Magnus walk you through how to astral project, but he explains in depth what astral projecting is and, even further, what life and the universe are from an astral perspective. He manages to do this all in a very clear, coherent, logical manner. And, he really strives to describe the true nature of the astral, not just a limited interpretation of it. Also, this book is a blast to read. Every section is powerfully insightful and his journal entries that are spread throughout the book are at times powerful and at other times hilarious. Some of his astral experiences are, to put it politely, interesting. Overall, I have found this book to be most helpful in finding what I am looking for.
