I read Bob Peterson's first book way back in 1998. It was great. I actually followed his method to induce a OBE and one morning I woke up, felt really peaceful, and when I thought I was drifting back to sleep, I actually became conscious of disorientation. It was as if I felt like I was on a rocky boat (my bed felt like a rocky boat), and the rocking increased more and more and I got scared and forcefully sat up to sit up. I guess I wasnt ready to explore this.

This second book by Peterson seems a little "miseleading"(?), since the cover says Spiritual Growth etc. In it, all he talks about are some ESP experiences that he noticed in his daily life. I was hoping it will talk about things similar to Robert Monroe's Far Journey, where lessons and the meaning of human existence can be gained.

In my opinion, Robert Monroe's "Far Journey" (still my all time favourite) and "Ultimate Journey" seems to be the 2 best books that explores the spiritual learnings side of human existence. Where Peterson explores the more "physical" environment and ESP learnings in daily life, Monroe's books explores more of the environments out of our physical reality - other worlds, other lifeforms and consciousness, astrally created environments, and areas out of our known space/time reality.

Get Peterson's first book, it is really good, and also Monroe's 2 other books if you are looking to learn about this subject.

I have been having OBE's since I was 26 and since then have had too many to count. This book addresses the spiritual aspects of this phenomenon and does it quite well in my opinion. Many parts of the book resonated with me and I was finding myself regularly saying in my mind "Yes, yes I agree with that, that's how I see things too, that's how it is." An excellent book and one well worth buying.

I found Peterson's first book very valuable and interesting. This one was clearly thrown together, to ride on the success of the previous one. I read it in one sitting, found myself skimming sections and finding some sections too silly to have been published. For example "Advantages of the OBE over Space Exploration: Space exploration will never tell us what lies beyond the veil of death." did he write that? "OBE costs less." now he's wasting my time and padding the book, "No special degrees.. no special equipment" and "OBE Disadvantages: With OBEs you can't collect any physical samples" ... ANYONE intelligent enough to read, that has every heard of OBE.. oh well, i'm not going on to argue this... It's unbelievable that this could get printed. Now that I reread this fluff, i'm insulted that he got my money for such stuff. Peterson, you should be embarassed. There's certainly more than one lesson you haven't learned.

Robert Peterson has written a great book on out of body experiences and what you can attain from them, like SPIRITUALITY!! In his new book he has stories and lessons from over 20 years of experiences. He also has some OBE tips at the end of the book. This is the book for you if you want to learn how to go out of body and learn the deeper reasons for what this spiritual experience can do for your life!!!

I bought this book with great anticipation because his first book was so good but was disappointed. Not as much OOBE techiques or experiences out of of the body, but he talks a lot about his life for example how he eventually met his wife and got married. Granted this book was supposed to be more on the spiritual side but I really didn't find that this book reflected that. If you have the first book, I don't think you need the 2nd book for OOBE.
