Amazon.com Review

Everything you always wanted to know about astral travel is explored in Astral Voyages by ex-dentist and hypnotist Bruce Goldberg. Discussing the four types of out-of-body experiences, he answers such wide-ranging questions as, "Why do some people leave their physical body while simply talking or walking? How do you meet kindred souls on the astral plane? What is lucid dreaming? What other dimensions are out there? What is your karmic purpose?" This clearly written, no-fluff book is full of helpful checklists, definitions, scientific explanations, detailed descriptions of various states (for example, how to know when you're dead), contemplation exercises, visualization techniques, how-to instructions, and, excuse the phrase, much, much more. If you're an aspiring astral traveler, don't leave home without it. --Randall Cohan

From the Publisher

I'm sure you've heard the old saying that everybody talks about the weather but nobody does anything about it. You may have noticed in a similar fashion that a lot of people talk about the astral plane without ever having visited it. Now is your chance to be one of the real travelers in the spiritual realms with the help of Dr. Bruce Goldberg's Astral Voyages.

This is one of the most complete guides to the universe of astral projection ever published. It answers all the questions you have and shows you sixty-five techniques that will get you into the astral plane.

The truth is, you experience astral travel when you sleep, during physical or emotional trauma, and at times when you are intensely focused or preoccupied with something. It is as natural as breathing. The instructions in this book simply enable you to safely astral travel at will.

And when you project an entirely new universe will open to you. You will be able to explore other dimensions (Dr. Goldberg lists thirteen), other entities and other people. You will also find freedom from physical, mental, emotional, psychic, and spiritual entanglements. You will discover the secrets of your past lives and your future lives in the akashic records. And you will be able to heal yourself and others while on the astral plane.

Along the way you will also learn about other aspects of being out of your body including near-death experiences and lucid dreaming. You'll also find out about scientific studies which have been done over the past century. Even the U.S. Department of Defense has used a form of astral travel for information gathering.

Get the evidence. Discover the theory. Learn the techniques. Get this book and take a quantum leap into the astral plane so you can finally achieve your potential.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book makes so much sense that it changed my life., September 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Astral Voyages: Mastering the Art of Soul Travel (Paperback)

Dr. Goldberg seems to have nailed it right on the button. If the content in this book is not true, then Dr. Goldberg deserves a medal for creativity. This book (to the open minded inividual), indirectly answers almost every question ever asked by man. With reference to the upper and lower planes or dimensions he explanes what hell really is, where ghosts come from, where we are headed, and how close we come to this knowlege every night in our sleep. I follow the excersizes in the lucid dreaming section of this book and if this was a fraud, then my dreams would not become more vivid every night like they have. I don't mean to discredit myself and my opinion but an occasional drunken stooper and a couple hits from the .... used to be a great way to expand the mind or just have fun, but Dr. Goldbergs suggestions not to have any intoxicants in the body has helped me imensely. Not to sound repetative but it all makes sense. The answers are within us, we just need a little guidense sometimes on how to access them. People can do hundreds of different things to improve the quality of life on this planet, but nothing compares to complete knowlege and inner peace that can be obtained through complete submission and patience to the knowlege presented in this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Interesting but..., February 16, 2000

This review is from: Astral Voyages: Mastering the Art of Soul Travel (Paperback)

Some interesting thoughts, but not at all like real astral travel, and don't get this if you expect to learn astral travel, or progress already existing projection talent. look into adventures beyond the body by william buhlman (spelling may be wrong) if you want to begin astral travel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Astral Voyages, May 18, 2002

This review is from: Astral Voyages: Mastering the Art of Soul Travel (Paperback)

Bruce Goldberg, D.D.S., M.S. is well-known in the metaphysical world. A hypnotherapist, he has authored numerous books, appeared on television programs, and been the subject of newscasts, radio broadcasts, and magazine articles. He has conducted more than 33,000 past life regressions and future life progressions.
Dr. Goldberg maintains "it is certain that we have a second body that can safely leave and return to our physical body." In Astral Voyages: Mastering the Art of Soul Travel, he explains how everyone can learn to leave their body behind and travel wherever they want to go. He emphasizes that the purpose of astral travel is to encourage the spiritual growth of the soul.
He explains how travelers can protect themselves with white light, and maintains that there is no danger in leaving the body. He also says that everyone has the ability to leave their bodies, that, in fact, we all do so when we dream at night. His intention is to help people develop their abilities so that they may travel at will.
Some techniques for astral travel work well for some people, while other people need different methods. Dr. Goldberg presents detailed instructions for a variety of ways on achieving out-of-body experiences, including using crystals, herbs, or oils, visualization, contemplation, and hypnosis. Readers are encouraged to experiment with them all, and then choose the technique that works best for them.
One chapter describes the types of beings astral travelers might meet in their voyages. While most people meet only loving masters and guides, Dr. Goldberg does provide instructions on how to recognize and protect oneself from a negative entity.
One section even explains how to have astral sex! (No, it isn't done quite the same way on astral planes as it's done on the physical plane.)
Dr. Goldberg says that "more people than ever possess the ability to soul travel and explore alternate and probable futures, move into new understandings and concepts of time, control the subconscious, and tap into the powers of their Higher Self." Astral Travel provides all the techniques and guidelines needed to achieve your own out-of-body experience.
