Soul Traveler

A concise, easy-to-understand introduction to out-of-body experiences
Former NASA aeronautical engineer and space researcher Albert Taylor believes that there is much we can learn from out-of-body experiences. In Soul Traveler, he shines a light into the tunnel of the unconscious mind, offers an account of his own out-of-body experiences, and shows us how we too can develop this life-changing ability.

From the deathlike night paralysis and lucid dreams of his childhood—dubbed "witch rides" by his grandmother—to his later quest to explain these extraordinary episodes, Taylor learned how to identify the early signs of his facility for out-of-body experiences, also known as astral projection.

Through extensive research and experimentation, Taylor learned to control his incredible flights of "soul travel," enabling him to move beyond our physical plane, go to distant places, communicate with the dead, and gain psychic insights and miraculous healing power. Ultimately, he came to a deeper understanding of his own role on Earth, the meaning of life and death, and striking proof of dimensions beyond our own.
