Starting in the early 2000s, Belzebuub authored numerous books on out-of-body experiences and dreams, consciousness, and self-discovery.

Belzebuub's last book was released in 2010, after which he was no longer active in public life.
BELZEBUUB’S BIOGRAPHY
Mark (who wrote with his pen name Belzebuub) was born in the United Kingdom. As a child he had a keen interest in spiritual things, reading spiritual books from the library and creating his own esoteric ceremony at eight years old. He experienced many supernatural phenomena including ESP and poltergeist activity in his family home.
In the early 80s he extensively studied the works of Jiddu Krishnamurti, seeing him twice in person in both 1982 and 1983 at Brockwood Park in the UK. He also read many other spiritual books and looked into other spiritual groups and traditions around this time.
In 1990 Belzebuub stated he came across a set of spiritual practices that he found very effective, and would go on to teach.
Belzebuub would later author online courses that proved very popular and grew to be the largest of their kind in the world at the time. These courses were run online and in person in eight countries across several continents until 2010. This course content also formed the basis of Belzebuub’s books.
BELZEBUUB’S BOOKS AND OTHER WORKS
Belzebuub’s work contained information on how to study oneself for inner change, use out-of-body experiences for spiritual development, and how to progress spiritually. He was able to write concisely due to his firsthand experience of the process.
His work covered a range of topics including OBEs, near-death experiences, dreams, self-discovery, spiritual exercises, esoteric knowledge and more. Belzebuub wrote that it is the development of consciousness that enables all spiritual experience.
Belzebuub always gave his work freely as he believed a person’s finances shouldn’t be an obstacle to receiving spiritual knowledge. Belzebuub’s books were sold through an independent publisher with no royalties ever going to him. His websites, the courses he authored, and all his videos and audio, were always free to access.
BELZEBUUB’S MEDIA APPEARANCES
Belzebuub was interviewed between 1997 and 2009 as an expert on out-of-body experiences and dreams internationally on TV and radio, including on the BBC and Canadian daytime TV. Belzebuub also appeared on national TV as part of a panel of experts discussing the discovery of the ancient text the Gospel of Judas.

My copy of this book is falling apart because I have used it so much!
What I find most remarkable about this book is that Belsebuub's explanations and guidelines have a depth to them that can only be gained through experience. After the first few lessons, I got the impression that I would not be wasting my time if I practiced these techniques - an intuitive hunch :)
I was able to then focus on actually doing the practices and was able to achieve success by using them. Before I found this course, I had tried to astral project without much success. After practicing the first few exercises in this book, I started to see that these techniques were worthwhile. I have experienced astral projection, waking up in dreams, clearer dreams, an increase in the amount of dreams I can remember, and spiritual experiences within my dreams using these techniques.
Belsebuub presents several different techniques for astral projection and waking up in dreams. Of these, some of my favorites includes certain mantra practices and a practice that involves concentrating on your heart. He gives the information in a clear, straightforward way, and he also gives insight into common obstacles and how to persevere.
One part of the book that I strongly value is the dream symbols guide. The symbols and meanings are really focused on spiritual development. This helps me to feel connected to the spiritual through my dreams. After using these symbols as a guide for over five years, I have come to find them reliable and accurate. Belsebuub also explains how to use the guide and the need to take into account and to develop and apply intuition when interpreting these.
A very useful practice that Belsebuub gives is a mantra to remember dreams. You can actually view a video of this on his youtube channel.
Further, the book is organized well. There is a definite, logical flow and sequence to the topics and exercises. I would recommend using it as the author suggests, taking the course a week at a time.
Great book, classic resource!

This book is fantastic! It is an 8 week course that teaches you about the astral plane and dreams, how to have concious out-of-body expereinces (astral travel) and how to start to understand your own psychology, which can lead to change and spiritual growth. 6 weeks into the course I had my first OBE! It was life-changing, I HIGHLY recommend this book!!

A Course in Astral Travel and Dreams is a detailed 9 lesson (9 week) course for those individuals wanting to learn about astral projection. This series of lessons gives basic background information about astral projection and dreaming as well as step by step training exercises to increase concentration, focus, and awareness. Also contained within each lesson are questions from previous students of the author and the author's responses to these queries. Questions from these students range from clarification on techniques to the sharing of personal astral experiences. The Astral Travel Course as well as three other related courses (Searching Within, The Journey to Enlightenment , and Advanced Investigation ) are also available online free of charge at the Gnosticweb website www.gnosticweb.com.

As the reader becomes more adept at these exercises, more information and more difficult exercises are added. This book even teaches several different astral projection techniques in detail. Thus, the reader gradually learns how to have an astral experience assuring that the experience can be successfully replicated and that such experiences will not be negative or frightening.

I first read this book when I was interested in learning about astral projection, and I was amazed at the results.
This author really knows what he's talking about. I found the book to be extremely clear and detailed, but focusing on what is essential for someone to learn to experience astral travel for themselves. It's very down to earth and practical; organized into a 9 week exercise program format aimed at preparing a person to be successful at astral travelling on a consistent basis.
It is mentioned in the book that there's something like a 67% success rate for people who followed this program - I can definitely say that it has worked for me, and continues to work as I continue to practice the techniques I learned from it.
As a perk, there are a lot of useful tips and techniques in this book that I haven't come across in other sources on astral projection and it also has a very unique dream symbol guide attached, which I keep by my bedside and find very useful.
Definitely two thumbs up!

Not only is it concisely written, but the techniques taught work, and that's the important thing right?
If anyone said to me they wanted to learn how to astral project I would say read this.

Ok, so before I bought this book, I was highly unfamiliar with the term "Astral" or even "out-of-body experiences". I had heard about them, and though never doubted the reality of out-of-body experiences, I thought you had to be someone special to have them.
I come from a family background where experience is what counts, not theory. So I absolutely loved the fact that this book is highly practical and not theory based. It's simple: there are 9 chapters, and each chapter is devoted a week of study and practice for the technique(s) given. Sometimes you are given several techniques to try and learn, other times, it is just one technique. But all-in-all, it's you and the technique.
Well by chapter/week 6, I had my first out-of-body experience! I was not very diligent with my practices for the first 4-5 weeks, but I thought that given that I really wanted to know and experience an out-of-body experience myself and that this book was giving me the keys on how to do it, that I should do a better effort at trying the techniques. So one morning, I did 2 exercises that were taught in the book: one a simple concentration, and then after that I used a relaxation exercise with a mantra. And within less than 10 minutes, I was floating outside of my body.
This was absolutely amazing. I can't even describe the feeling I had being outside of my body - I just felt closer to myself than ever. I am not sure how else to describe, I just felt closer to home. Anyway, that was the first OBE I had but not the last, thanks to this book.
So I highly recommend this book: it's down-to-earth, easy to follow, there is a dream guide at the end though it is recommended to follow your own intuition and interpretation, but the best of all is that it works!
If you actually try the techniques given and give them the attention they require, you will astral project, there is not doubt about that.

This book has the most clear and easy to understand instructions about astral projection of all the books I've read on astral projection. It has an easy to follow 9 week astral projection course format with weekly lecture and exercises sections, as well as Q/A sections with questions/feedback from students and answers from the author.
This book introduces a number of astral projection techniques, that proved to be most effective for most of the people, who have practiced them, with 67% of the people having success with the techniques, when practicing them in the framework of the 9 week course. The book also gives some tips about what to do when you've projected, how to stay longer in the astral plane and deal with common obstacles encountered there in the best way.
The author also explains about the nature of dreams, why we have them, how our psyche influences our dreams and its basic structure. Also, the book explains about the nature of nightmares and bad dreams, and focuses on how to deal with negative influence in the astral.
This book also teaches how we can use our conscious astral experiences and dreams to gain self-knowledge and type of knowledge we otherwise have no ways of getting in the physical plane. There are dream symbols and numbers/clock hours guides provided in the book.
Importantly, the book also teaches how to overcome common obstacles that prevent people from being successful in astral projection, and how to best prepare onself for night time astral projection practice during the day, so that we have clear and objective experiences of the astral plane when we project there.
The book comes with some inspiring stories of students' successful astral projection experiences, which can be a great source of inspiration for someone, who wants to achieve astral projections themselves.
Personally, I've had many regular conscious astral experiences after applying the techniques given in this book, and so I can recommend this book for any serious astral projection enthusiast, who is willing to put the required amount of efforts into practicing the techniques described in the book.

This book is a most practical and efficient guide that one could ask for. In it, Belzebuub explains the step-by-step process that has taught me and so many others learn how to astral travel.
Many techniques for the actual projection are given, as well as useful exercises that can be done during the day to increase our chances of successfully projecting. It's truly amazing when you get it right and can verify all the things said about the astral for yourself. I am very thankful personally that this course has given me the opportunity to do just that...
If you're interested in learning how to astral project, then pick up this book and get ready to succeed!

This book is actually a big surprise for any spiritually minded person. It is a 9 week course. If you follow the practices described, you have high probabilitu to have the astral experince within that period of time. And of course you can repeat that experience. Very recommendable book.

Such an incredible book! The book is a guide on how to have out-of-body experiences. Following the author's guidance, I managed to have my first astral projection, after a few months!

By far the most straight forward explanation of what Astral Travel is and how it is connected to phenomena such as dreaming and out-of-body experience. It's a great program to follow with week by week exercises and instructions to go through in order to successfully astral project or have a lucid dream. The author explains clearly the meaning and logic behind these experiences and also gives an insight into the potential spiritual benefits that may be gained from becoming proficient at astral travelling. There's also a handy question/answer section after each chapter which answers some common questions which come up as you read the book. Also included is a dream symbol guide that is clear and concise which really helps shed light on vivid dreams you may have had where the meaning can seem very obscure. Highly recommend read for any budding astral traveller or any one interested in learning more about the mechanisms of dreaming as well as out-of-body experience. This book is easily the most logical and intelligent exploration into the subject.

I can still remember when I received this book in 2005 and was so inspired by it's content. The book came with an on-line course at the time and gave me several out of body experiences through waking up in dreams. The book is very clear on the subject and the practises give results! If you are interested in out of body experiences and want to experience them for yourself, this is the book to read!

An extraordinary book that guides the reader week by week to learn and actually experience the astral plane. I have had numerous experiences from using the techniques given in this book. Very eye-opening and invaluable. Read it and try hard!! Very surprising what you may find.

After reading this book and following it with the online course I had my first conscious obes since being a child. The practices in the book work, they are safe, and well described. I highly recommend this book for anyone studying or experimenting with Out-of-body experiences.

Tomorrow night I begin my journey to consciously explore the Astral. After finishing chapter one I start the exercises in that chapter, relaxation, remembering dreams, and dream diary.
In 2006 I took this course free online and also bought this book to go along with this. I'm truely grateful for Mark Pritchard sharing his knowledge and wisdom freely to provide those that seek for greater awareness. Through the course I have experienced many profound teachings from the Divine. To be honest I seek that clarity once again.
Many Blessings
