Journeys out of the Body

• Understand Monroe's account of how his spontaneous OBEs began: the specific physical sensations (vibrations, roaring sounds, the sensation of the body 'switching off') that preceded the out-of-body transition, and how he gradually learned to work with them rather than resist them
• Grasp the distinction between Locale I, Locale II, and the further dimensions Monroe eventually explored: what characterises each domain, the laws that appear to govern them, and the types of beings and experiences encountered in each
• Recognise Monroe's methodology of systematic self-investigation: how he developed protocols for testing the reality of what he was experiencing (attempting to obtain verifiable information during OBE states), what succeeded, and what the results suggested about the nature of his experiences
• Learn Monroe's understanding of the relationship between OBE and consciousness at death: what his experiences suggested about how consciousness continues after the physical body is no longer available, and how this understanding evolved across his three books
• Appreciate the historical significance of Monroe's work: how his accounts inspired the Monroe Institute's development of Hemi-Sync technology, launched a worldwide movement of serious OBE practitioners, and contributed evidence of enduring significance to the consciousness research community
