Summary: A perfect Map for the Seeker !
Review: I have tested many different paths and hit a lot of dead ends.
Finally found a book that answered all of my questions and provided me with a step by step map on how to complete the final return to my Over Soul. I just wish I found this book when it first came out. This is the perfect book for the seeker who is ready to graduate and break way from the incarnation cycle. You are not bogged down with any type of religious dogma. You are very much on your on. This book picks up where the other ones have left you hanging and wondering what is going to happen next. Its the best of the Monroe Books !Bob McKelvy bobmck@cox-internet.com

Summary: The one that brings it all together
Review: I've read all three of Monroe's books. Since this is the last of the three, it makes sense that this is the one that pulls all the theories together. The concepts can be complicated to follow and they follow a very unusual line of thinking! More than once I had to remind myself that I wasn't reading "fiction". However, this is essential reading for anyone interested in using his "hemi-sync" tapes: especially the Gateway Experience. This book and it's predecesors are seriously challenging my long-held notions of reality...it's a very intelligent work. I don't think I'll ever have quite the same outlook as I did before. Essential reading for anyone curious about the OBE experience and the potential of these experiences.

Summary: Ultimate indeed
Review: Initially, I found getting into this book very difficult and was almost at the point of putting it aside when I decided to read one more chapter. I'm glad I did as off we go on an Out of Body and Inner Self experience that I found riveting - almost rushing too quickly thru the remaining chapters. I now plan to reread this book in a few months to reinforce my understandings of Mr Monroe's message - this time at a slower pace. While not being aware of any OBE on my part, I have no doubt that others can, and do feel they experience this phenomena. Whether Mr Montroe's interpretation of this world and its' Souls is how it is - reading Mr Monroe's writings would not require the reader to have a belief in OBE to really enjoy this book.

Summary: EXCELLENT! definitely Monroe's BEST!
Review: Read this book couple of years ago... and what i learned from it still guides me in my daily life, and it has reshaped my view about the Universe, about humans, about LIFE itself..
Monroe writes about his exploration in the OBE astral realm, and there are many lessons he learned from... himself! Time travelling, Space travelling in the astral world is indeed an amazing adventure. Look at life and events long ago, as if a long ago dream. An excellent exciting read!

Review: Read this book couple of years ago... and what i learned from it still guides me in my daily life, and it has reshaped my view about the Universe, about humans, about LIFE itself.. and most of all, myself.
Monroe writes about his exploration in the OBE astral realm, and there are many spiritual lessons he learned. It is recommended that you read his other 2 books Far Journeys and Journeys Out of the Body as well to get the full picture. Time travelling, Space travelling in the astral world is indeed an amazing adventure. 'Far Journeys' and this book are focused on the spiritual learnings that he accummulated on his astral travels. As he states in Far Journey, the first book "Journeys Out Of the Body" was about the mechanics of the OBE experience, about the methods and his observation of this phenomena. But after a while, he got bored with exploring his immediate physical surrounds (left brain logic), OBE had become a routine. One night, he made the conscious choice to let his unconscious(right brain) take over his options, and he was transported to another phase of his OBE - his exploration out of time-space. Here he learns about his life, makes new spirit friends and learn amazing things from them, travel to the past and future, learn about life as human. An excellent exciting read!

Summary: "The wanderer cannot wait forever."
Review: Robert Monroe achieved his masterpiece in this volume. The final missing Basic became a Known. At least it did for him, and for those who take the time to contemplate it- or better yet, experience it for themselves. As for those who aren't yet ready for the truth, well, maybe on their next trip around....
Over the years I have been fascinated with Mr. Monroe's books. Here was a thoroughly left-brain type of individual (a successful engineer and business man) with an open mind. He wasn't a "convert" to the perrenial philosophy, no, he just totally reconstructed the core of metaphysical truth FROM SCRATCH. Or rather, he remembered. Mr. Monroe was no student of religion or metaphysics yet he reached a model of existance that is fully compatible with neoplatonism. We originate from a Creator beyond space and time, we descend into the holographic dream of space-time, we gain experience (along with our kindred sparks) through a varying number of lifetimes, our more evolved "higher selves" reach back through time and space to help ourselves at crucial moments, and we finally return back to the Creator bearing our hard-won gifts. He didn't get this from Plato, Plotinus, or the Upanishads- HE FOUND IT OUT FOR HIMSELF THROUGH DIRECT EXPERIENCE.
Oh yes, he even came to an understanding of M-field energy and manipulation techniques ( most call it magic and correspondence theory.) He also realised the truth of the rare few who "can do covertly anything imaginable- and much that we cannot imagine."
Well done, wanderer, well done....

Summary: Monroe's Philosophy
Review: Robert Monroe is the 'big daddy' of the out of body experience. This book is more about his philosophy then actual out of body travels as were his first two books. Monroe gives his 'experience' on reincarnation, meaning of life, God. He also explains why he thinks the physical realm is a type of hologram. Monroe is either actually exploring the structure of the non-physical universe as he believes or the inner structures in his own brain. Either way it's fascinating stuff.

Summary: Missing Pages
Review: This book is slightly differnt from the first two of his books, as Monroe now starts to give a lot of his own theory, beliefs, etc., based upon his knowledge and experience from years of OBE. They are interesting to read, esp. since it all tallies up with the main spiritual beliefs out there. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 as it did not leave as lasting an impression on me as did the first 2 books, but nevertheless, it's also a must-read. :)

Summary: Great Book!
Review: This nonfiction book about death and some of the options you have when you die was very interesting to me. People who are hardcore about their religions might not want to read this book because it says there is no God the way we humans think there is. Robert A. Monroe created his own institute to study higher consciousness and to understand what was happening to him when he started floating out of his body. The book has stories of other people from around the world who were taught how to achieve this. Those who are open minded about this subject would probably get a lot from this book and his previous two (Journeys Out of the Body and Far Journeys) because it changed the way I think about life, death, and who I am. There is really no way for people to know for sure until you have your own OBE (out of body experience) or until you die. The book is a little hard to understand at first, but you will start to get it if you read parts of the book over or you read his other two books. This is a good book and I recommend it to anyone who is willing to read it.

Summary: Great Book!
Review: Who in the West ever heard of astral projection until Robert Monroe published his trilogy on the subject?
(Of course we know the Chinese and Hindu mystics, and the Rosicrucians have secretly practiced astral projection for thousands of years)
In his previous books, Out of the Body Travels written in 1973, and Far Journeys published in 1987 Monroe does not quite attain the level he has reached with this his third and best book.
Now he has behind him more than 30 years of experience in astral travel and practice, which is clearly reflected in this excellent, can't put it down, narration. This last book of the trilogy is the frosting of the cake in relation to his last two, which were rudimentary works of a pioneer.
Monroe is convinced there will be complete emotional and astral freedom in the 35-century for himself, and the group of souls that comprises his oversoul. Sounds like a long time assuming time has the same meaning in other realities as it does here. (Which does not, since time is an illusion created by clocks calendars, the orbit of Earth around the Sun, and human beliefs).
Seth through Jane Roberts says, "you make your own reality" and Monroe proved it while discovering reality is a hologram type of illusion one hundred percent mentally created and imagined. He does not try to mix his discoveries with religious superstitions of any sort but keeps his wonderful discoveries uncontaminated.
This magnificent volume of Monroe should impel everyone to expect something better beyond this world. Eventually we all, at our right moment, will evolve to reach a merger with our personal oversoul who as well is in a perpetual adventure of progression.
