Cosmic Journeys: My Out-Of-Body Explorations with Robert A. Monroe

I'd like to comment on Bookaholic girl's review, "You can't be in two places at once." I too would have found it hard to believe, except I've had the experience of being in two places at once being in an OBE state using a Monroe CD. It's absolutely weird, wonderful, and a great lesson. Try not to let fear or beliefs block your ability to explore. For those using Monroe CD's or having been to the Institute, you'll gain insight on how some techniques were developed. I highly recommend reading and learning from this book. Enjoy!

If anyone likes Far Journeys (by Robert Monroe), or is interested in gathering wisdom and knowledge from higher intelligences, this book will certainly do a great job for you. Some parts in the first third of the book were a bit slow to get through, but thereafter it's all excellent stuff, reminiscent of Monroe's adventures in Far Journeys and Ultimate Journey.This book does not teach you how to do OBEs. What this book does is:- gives you a different perspective and more info on the Monroe Institute and Bob Monroe.- provides a lot of cosmic wisdom and info from dialogues between Monroe and higher intelligences (through the author)

I really liked this book. The reader gets more personal information on Robert Monroe and also the work being done at the Monroe Institute and what it was like in the beginning. What I liked more is that most of the book is material from higher beings who spoke through Rosie. And as I have found the worlds of Robert Monroe and Seth coincide perfectly.

Rosalind McKnight is one of Robert A. Monroe's explorers, people who report on their encounters in out-of-the-body experiences. Anyone interested in the pioneer work of Monroe and in his Monroe Institute should find "Cosmic Journeys" fascinating. Monroe himself is a central character,monitoring his explorers with care and concern, asking the right questions at the right times. No wonder he inspired such affection in his followers.But McKnight is interesting in her own right. She describes her experiences enthusiastically, intelligently, with self-effacing humor. The first time she tries Monroe's hemi-sync device for leaving her body, she simiply falls asleep. But when she does leave her body, the joyful adventures start. Here are some sample chapters: "Invisible Helpers," "More Than Physical Matter," "Experience; The Afterlife and the Animal Dimension," "Control: the Foods You Eat," "Out of the Body Energies," "Alien Energy Systems," and --for my money the most astounding chapter--"The Patrick Event."There is no "scientific" proof that her adventures are real, but to this reader they have the ring of truth.

First of all I believe it important that you know who is writing this review. I want those who read this to know I am just as open and just as skeptic as the average truth seeker. I am the guy next store with a wife, children, a church I attend and many questions about what God means. While pursuing my search I read a lot and research topics of interest that may help me on my journey. I have read Ms McKnight's book twice and often refer back to it when I need to refresh my memory. The author and the words in the book are not just some wild fantasic creation from the mind of a Steven King type. I (Mr. Skeptic) have attended the Gateway program at the Monroe institute. I have been to Focus 10 and beyond, how?, The science is there to get you there, what happens once you are there is not yet measurable in the eyes of science. I listen, I follow the directions, it happens. Did I have the same experiences at Ms McKnight, no I didn't, but others did, my time will come. Your time can come too here on earth. Read this book, read it again, read other books, and the truth will come. This book talks about energy and energy vibrations a lot. For some this conveys a New Age Band wagon attempt. This could not be farther from the truth. Look at your hand, what you see is only skin, while it looks solid, what we have is solid matter that has molecules and atoms. And physics tells us that every atom is more than 99%empty space and all those sub-atomic particles are moving at extreme speeds through this space, hence -vibrating enery. The void in every atom has this vibrating intelligence. I am not a physicist but this quantum soup is always vibrating, and at the quantum level the space between sub-atomic particles is like the space between galaxies. There is so much we take for granted for which we can not see. I know we can vibrate our own energies to other conscious levels while here on earth. Whether you call them Focus levels or something else is not important. As my journey continues I know I will reach some of those places Ms. McKnight has gone. I just keep my patience under rap and continue on my journey, helping those who need a hand along the way. Enjoy the book and have Joy in knowing you ARE more than your Physical body! Peace-Rick
