Beyond Dreaming - A Guide on How to Astral Project & Have Out of Body Experiences: How the Awakening of Consciousness Is Synonymous With Lucid Dreaming & Astral Projection

Rate this book
~ REVISED EDITION, 2024 ~Are you having no luck with Astral projection? Discover the spiritual and wholesome approach to attaining out-of-body states of awareness which leads to more vivid and profound experiences.The approach in this book is on the practical understanding of out-of-body consciousness, rather than on intellectual debate or speculation. It aims to address frequently asked questions that Gene has received from hundreds of people struggling to achieve Astral projection. As explained in the "Through practical understanding alone, we get rid of the need for ineffective methods and complex practices which harbour self-doubt, often seen in books which promise quick results through techniques backed by little explanation. When we instinctively comprehend the mechanics behind out-of-body experiences, we adopt our own intuitive practice."Furthermore, the book explores the difference between lucid dreaming and out-of-body experiences and how both these phenomena serve a significant purpose towards our spiritual progress. One way to understand this is through realising that most of us are in a continuous dream-like state that often has a firm grip over our awareness while we're awake and also while we're asleep; this is key in understanding how to go beyond layers of subconscious perception in order to reach higher objective states of consciousness. If we wake up out of our dreams during the day, then we also have more chance of becoming conscious during our dreams at night too; "As Above, So Below". Learn about how following the path of Astral projection enhances our mental, emotional and physical health and overall quality of waking life; the practice does not just apply to our non-physical experiences during sleep.Gene's knowledge is based on over a decade of deep meditation, hundreds of out-of-body experiences, and several years spent being part of a Gnostic group. He has only one wish; for you to experience conscious out-of-body travel with all of your senses in-tact, just as you are here and now, reading this.Below are just some of the things you will learn in this fear of 'the other side'How to rely on intent rather than methodsSeveral step-by-step methods and exercisesHow meditation greatly benefits Astral projectionAnalysing and understanding your failed attemptsHow to stay grounded and present once out of bodyHow dreaming at night is no different than when we 'daydream'How Astral projection is a deeply spiritual practice of self-realisationGene is dedicated to helping others achieve Astral projection and has provided contact details and extra resources at the end of the book.Good luck on your journey friend!

I usually like information-dense, practical books, and this is one of those. I think the author used a good mixture of personal stories and practical tips and exercises for the reader.
I liked the overall message of the book that although we need to know the techniques, many other aspects of our life, mainly our belief system and habits will be a very important components for having out-of-body experiences (and lucid dreams). This matches my own experience: letting go of limiting beliefs, mindful daily habits, and consistency are all key.
Everybody is able to astral travel, we just need to study the subject, read, watch videos, get inspired, meditate and practice. This book is an excellent material to tick some of these boxes!
I will definitely recommend it to others who are interested in these exceptionally wonderful adventures.

Its a book on astral projection. But it goes beyond that, explaining about the importance of meditation, being present in the now, dreams. And of course it has listed techniques that you could follow to improve your success rate in astral projection.
My understanding of astral projection expanded a lot more thanks to this book.

I hope the author one days writes a book about their personal experience and adventure in the astral world.
I would definitely read it !

A well-written, concise, and practical book on the subject.

The author’s Reddit posts on the AP subreddit led me to read the book, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I resonated with the spiritual and philosophical ideas presented. While there are some methods and pieces of practical advice included, it ultimately comes down to the beauty of the unknown and the subconscious. It’s a personal journey and adventure well worth taking.

this book is exactly as described

I had a somewhat lucid dream just after reading this book. I now recognize my thought patterns in the dream to be identical to the thought patterns in waking life: focused on the past, a movie I watched, worried about what others thought of me. I credit it to the author’s writing about mindfulness. I took twenty minutes each day for a couple days doing meditation where I simply didn’t daydream. The author explains so well why meditation and mindfulness work for lucid dreaming. I had one out of body experience two years ago, which led me to seek out answers, and eventually to this book. It’s the best book for me that I’ve read so far on this subject.

A sincere and honest book

I purchased this book because I had a honest desire and hoped to have a real astral projection experience on my own. Gene brought the whole thing to down-to-earth style that would calm down my worries and he helped me to understand that there was nothing to be fearful of. Gene was very thoughtful and sincere in his purpose of writing his book for us. He had a way to help me understand what astral projection was really like. I finally understood. I did have a real first direct experience after reading this book that I had none to fear of, except to observe what was real and BE not afraid. Gene will guide you if you will have an open-minded willingness in yourself.

Overall quite good for those interested in the subject.

My only issue which he does not talk about is that people have certain talents and so for your average person this may be impossible. Astral Projection is hard. It really depends on the individual. Also, it takes time to develop 'personal power,' which is a term used in the Carlos Castaneda books. If you have not taken time to develop and build a proper foundation then this will likely not be possible.

Masterful Teacher

I’ve read just about everything I’ve been able to access on astral projection and this is one of my favorites. The wealth of knowledge he possesses coupled with humility and heartfelt desire to help others makes this guy a superstar imo. He continues to share from his vast experience and understanding on his YouTube channel. I’m so very grateful I found him and his work. Thank you!!!

This book takes readers on a fascinating journey into the world of astral projection and self-discovery. Besides being packed with practical tips and explanations; what I liked more about this book was how accessible it is for readers of all levels of familiarity with the subject matter. Hart's writing is clear and engaging, and I appreciated the inclusion of real-life examples to illustrate his points.

Wonderful book, excellent astral projection and lucid dreaming guide. Many techniques listen all very practical and helpful! Many which I’ve applied myself. Overall, this book was also very inspirational not just an astral projection guide but a spiritual guide. I highly recommend it to any spiritual aspirant seeking comprehendible practical knowledge on astral projection and the spiritual path.

"If I were to teach a class of children and a class of adults about how to come out of body, the children would most likely have double the adults' success rate. Children are far less likely to be cut off from their Being due to excessive thinking that adults usually adopt as we grow in modern society."

This may also be why the general population is fooled into thinking that children learn faster than adults. Many of their notions seem to have the same boxed in theme. Why create that ceiling in the first place?

The authors ideas are aligned on the same plane of Rick Rubins book, The Creative Act. He also mentions that science is a limitation to the freedom of art.
