The Out-of-Body Experience: The History and Science of Astral Travel by Anthony Peake

Abstract

In The Out-of-Body Experience, Anthony Peake provides a history of astral travel with a focus on Bob Monroe’s documented experiences. He includes remote viewing, near-death experiences, lucid dreaming, and other psychic phenomenon as closely related to the classic OBE (out-of-body experience). Most fascinating is Peake’s theory on how to explain astral travel scientifically. He considers several models of physics combined with more recent studies in consciousness and neuroscience to extrapolate an intriguing look at how our perceptions merge with so-called reality.
