Far Journeys

Reads more like a novel than the first one. I didn't like the style as much but still an excellent book. If you're going to read the series you won't be disappointed.

A hard book to put down once you start reading it. The experiences of Robert Monroe in an out-of-body state made for a fascinating story. I found myself hungry for more information that The Monroe Institute has discovered. I recently I went on their website and discovered a vast offering of free audio downloads. See their Resources section, Free Audio Downloads, and the Explorers section. There are ~32 Explorer downloads - selected from their research archives of sessions with people in their OBE state reporting verbally what they are seeing/doing/experiencing. There is also interaction with entities or groups. But, my favorite is #23, which I've listened to 3 times now and learn more each time. In #23 Robert Monroe is with a group of people, looking back at his experiences and sharing what he currently does OBE. He also summarizes some of the findings of TMI after years of working with many people. In this recording Mr. Monroe shares that they have found that approximately 8% of people they have worked with (or does this extend to the human population?) are incarnated for the very first time as a human, some for the very first time as a physical being. His reflection (theory?) of life as waveforms is fascinating. There are some real gems in these recordings, and if you've read the books, you'll recognize some of the recordings as stories/incidents in the books.

Robert Monroe's story is such a remarkable one that for me it took a few years of pondering and re-reading various accounts of his "journeys" to come to grips with it as a legitimate reality. Since the early 1960's, Monroe carefully logged many hundreds or thousands of out of body experiences and over the years mastered exit techniques and went on to teach them to many students at his institute in Virginia. Far Journeys is a wild ride and was at times difficult to follow due to the many terms RM coined to describe the completely unknown entities and experiences that became routine for him. Once you get accustomed to the vocabulary, the narrative becomes more intelligible. The book is really something of a travelogue to non-physical reality. He is not stopping along the way to explain things to us readers, but leaving the experiences to speak for themselves. In the end, one is left to grapple with the implications of all he is laying out. Is he just completely insane? I don't think that is the case. Monroe was, in my view, a true modern mystic, born into a highly academic and rational Western world. He brought all of his pragmatism and mechanistic views on the world to bear as he wrestled with his remarkable gifts. He is really the heir to Edgar Casey, and in turn any number of mystics from antiquity.

Robert Monroe is the ultimate explorer. His self-honesty, rigorous documentation of his OBEs, and his insatiable curiosity are beyond the beyond.

I loved Monroe's first book. *This* book is entertaining, although annoying at times trying to figure out who's talking. I'm silent on whether I believe Monroe's fantastic stories. But if you're okay with that risk, I'd recommend this for both entertainment & perhaps to help unleash some creativity in your self.

Bob Monroe is an OG OBE G. Love this trilogy. If you can read, read this

Excelente,recibido y buen precio.

We become so mired in our subjective “reality”. I find it truly beneficial to have a different, perhaps more objective perspective. I hope this enables me to make necessary changes to my journey before its conclusion.

Same publisher prints this book with terrible print quality but good in the other two? Doesn’t make sense.

Part of a trilogy read in order.This is a scientific journal of discovery.Nonfiction and everyone would benefit from it .Should read in order .

Odyssée à la rencontre de soi-même: le dernier tome de la trilogie écrite par Robert A. Monroe nous emmène aux confins de la conscience, aux portes de la source de l'Univers. Big Bang! La dimension scientifique de l'auteur donne beaucoup de crédit à son récit. Et c'est un voyage palpitant, qui décoiffera les lecteurs ancrés dans le quotidien et réjouira les voyageurs astraux à la recherche du véritable sens de leur existence. Cap sur le 35e siècle!

My favorite book.

Life changing. A must read for anyone interested in how or why we exist as humans and what the road map of life is.
