Editorial Review of Far Journeys
The sequel to Monroe's Journey Out Of The Body is an amazing parapsychological odyssey that reflects a decade of research into the psychic realm beyond the known dimensions of physical reality.

Review Summary: The missing part of the puzzle?
Review: Of the few books I have reviewed I feel this is probably the most difficult, and yet maybe the most required in terms of explanation and relevance to what you might be looking for. Its premise is a phenomenal story of one mans journeys during his experiences of travelling out of his body, and through his own curiosity and endeavour he is taken on a series of incredible journeys through time and space. He meets with various entities from other realities, and through the action of simulation and experience they attempt to show him the purpose of life and the world upon which it depends, from its initial creation to its ultimate completion.
It is both an incredible and immensely thought provoking book and will leave you with many sleepless nights trying to correlate and make sense of his story, and whatever your conclusion it is almost certain that life will not be quite the same as it was before you opened its pages.
Depending on where you are in your quest and the part you are still looking for it will leave you either exhilarated or despondent, and there are certainly elements in this book that will do both. Like `Journeys out of the Body' when it was originally published, I suspect `Far Journeys' is still quite a few years ahead of its time. However, if you think you are at the point where you have read all there is in your quest to fully understand the nature of existence but feel there is still something missing then this might well be the book you are looking for. I hope it resonates and you will go on to read his follow up `Ultimate Journey', if not then I suggest you put it aside and wait. I'm sure there is something here for you, maybe it's just not the piece of the puzzle you are looking for at this moment.

Review Summary: Poor editing
Review: This book is in desperate need of a careful editor. I greatly enjoyed 'Journeys Out Of The Body' but had to put this one down after a few chapters. I got to a point where you're presented with a dictionary of terms for the next part of the book, terms that have no relevance outside of the Monroe institute. Instead of presenting me with a dictionary, why not just rewrite the section in terminology everyone can understand? Reading should be a joy, not a chore.

Review Summary: For those interested in the subject: Required Reading
Review: This is an absolutely fantastic read. The stories and method of story telling are new and exciting.I'm very excited when a book can have a lasting and important impression upon my consciousness. This should be require reading if you are interested in the subject of OOBE or AP.

Review Summary: Terrible
Review: I really wanted to like this book because I loved Monroe's first book, but this one is just terrrible. I'm sorry, but unless you actually were in these studies at his laboratory decades ago, you probably won't understand what he's talking about throughout the book. I didn't get it at all after 30 or 40 pages into the book. If you're at the bookstore, flip through the book and you'll see what I'm saying. Perhaps if you're an experienced astral traveler you'll dig some of this mumbo jumbo but it's totally untelligible to me.

Review Summary: The Truth. It's there an ignored.
Review: I've been involved with Out of Body Experiences, Remote Viewing, and such "crazy" ideas for a long time. These books are fantastic. Robert Monroe is a TRUE scientist, as he put EVERYTHING on the line to admit a truth that just couldn't be explained away.
I think it says volumes that the US Army Intel, US Airforce Intel, CIA, NSA, National Security Council, and every government agency in the US sent it's best and brightest officers to train with Robert Monroe. To this day the US Intelligence community continues to use OBE, Remote Viewing, and many of the "nutty" stuff Robert Monroe learned.
It's very sad, that the general public won't understand that the techniques, can exist in everyone and can be taught to everyone. Humanity will always be poorer for it.
RIP Robert, tell Patrick your guide hello.
