Ultimate Journey

Updated review. Book itself is groundbreaking. At first I was disappointed at "Excellent" quality used book with less than pristine dust jacket & aged paper on top of closed book. But it is a First Edition of book now in 44th printing. Book is otherwise in fine condition & I'm very happy to own this copy.

If you read the other two you might as well keep going. You won't be disappointed.

Wow. Just finished reading this series. I agree that of the three books, this is the most accessible. Beautifully written and put me in mind of bardos in The Tibetan Book of the Dead. A great read. I’ll keep this book for a long time.

I have completed all of the programs at Monroe Institute and was fortunate enough to meet Bob personally. This is his description of his own adventure, intensely personal, while he himself was struggling with the process. He gave words to an experience which is barely describable at all, and his was my inspiration for my own journeys beyond the body. This is not an instructional manual. Better use Mastering Astral Projection by Robert Bruce and Brian Mercer (which includes a CD of binaural beats just like at TMI) or Bill Buhlman's several books. I love this book because I can almost hear Bob saying those things, his inspiration, and his guidance. Too bad TMI ain't what it used to be. Bob, we really need your words even today (perhaps Carol should consider reading it). "There is only The Plan."

In his second book, Robert Monroe continues to describe his personal experiences with Out-Of-Body travel. By the time he wrote this book, Mr. Monroe had traveled out-of-body so often that he is able to offer almost a "map" of the astral world and it's various levels and inhabitants. Mr. Monroe describes his fascinating encounters with a number of nonphysical beings, human and otherwise. He does not present himself as a religious person, but rather as a deeply curious individual in search of answers to questions as old as time. He attempts to make sense of what happens to us after we die and equally important, why we are here in the first place. The answers to these questions turn out to be complex and anyone looking for a simple explanation based on their own religious beliefs or upbringing may be disappointed, if not disturbed. Also, by this time, he had established much of his research techniques using hemi-sync, which he describes in some detail in the book. This book is incredibly interesting and enlightening. My only complaint with the book is that Monroe often does not offer enough explanation or detail and left me with many unanswered questions. Each of Monroe's books is riveting on its own terms. However, I found that by reading the three books in order I was better able to follow Monroe's evolving understanding of the "other side".

I wish I could have met this man. I began having OBE’s about 8 years before I read the journeys trilogy. When he talked about the out of body simulations my head nearly popped off. I’ve had a few of those and never found them described in detail anywhere else. This is the greatest book and most profound trilogy on personal spiritual exploration and out of body travel ever written. Period. Such a gem and so incredible to be experienced outside the traditional contexts of yoga and meditation. A true original work. Thank you Bob. These 3 books changed my life and made me finally enquire “what is under the hood” in an OBE. What transports the astral body or consciousness from one dimension to another?

Excelente y muy buen precio.

If you can read only one of Robert Monroe's 3 books ("Journeys Out of the Body," "Far Journeys" and "Ultimate Journey"), "Ultimate Journey" is the one to read. Monroe's books chronicle his amazing learning experiences as his ability to travel out of the body develops and his capability to remember and to put these odysseys into words increases. Without laboring over material covered in the first two books, Monroe sums up his earlier adventures and then writes about his most recent and significant discoveries on this, his spiritual journey to understanding. If you have ever wondered if there is a God, why the Bible says that God is Love and in another place, shows God to be a vengeful being who orders the killing of many people, "Ultimate Journey" and the lessons taught to Monroe in his out-of-body state will help to clear up these questions. To say that "Ultimate Journey" will give you a whole new perspective on life, death and what lies beyond is an understatement. This is a must-read for those who are seeking answers! And, if at all possible, read all 3 books in order. "Far Journeys" is definately the most difficult to read, since much of it reflects Monroe's efforts to translate non-verbal communications from non-humans into English. But the information in that book is voluminous and well worth the effort to read it. Happy reading, fellow seekers!

Ho preso 3 libri di Robert Monroe che avevo letto giá in Italiano. Sono arrivati in 2gg in confezione integra e tutto ok. Molto soddisfatto

全く新しい世界観への入り口になる本。ただし、この本の本当の価値は一回読んだだけでは決して理解できない。哲学書ではないが、著者独特の用語に悩まされる難解な書。周辺資料をかなり読み込んでおかなければ歯が立たないし、単純に信じたり、否定すべきではなく、慎重に一歩ずつ検証を積み重ねる必要がある。個人的にはこの本を何とか消化できるまでに20年近くかかったが、それだけの価値があった。

Very boring.

The three books by Robert A. Monroe — Journeys Out of the Body, Far Journeys, and Ultimate Journey — are some of the most profound works I have learned from in my life. I have no way of personally verifying their claims, as I have not yet experienced an out-of-body state myself, but I find the subject deeply compelling. The accounts feel sincere, and many others also report experiences that appear to support the process he describes. Reading them has left me with a sense of humility, as though I am an infant in spiritual terms. At the same time, they have given me a deep feeling of gratitude that I don’t think I could have reached in quite the same way through other material. Robert A. Monroe and those involved in his work, including his wife Nancy, seem to have contributed something meaningful to the wider exploration of human consciousness. I believe that readers who approach these books with an open mind may find themselves challenged and potentially enriched by them. For me, works like these offer value to those interested in spiritual questions beyond conventional frameworks. I don’t see this as being in opposition to empirical science, but rather as something that sits alongside it. There are also various studies and references that touch on similar experiences, and the Monroe Institute is often mentioned as a significant contributor in this area. I do wish I could experience it for myself, though it feels as if life may be taking me in a different direction for now. I suppose one day I'll be skipping around KT-95 like Ident BB, playing games. Until then I live out my life as this human. Even if you're not a believer in this type of stuff, you would be at a sorry loss not to read all three books. I hope I get to thank him one day. But I know he knows that now. Thanks Robert.

Kan vara svår att hänga med i, man bör läst de första böckerna innan.
