Hacking the Out of Body Experience: Leveraging Science to Induce OBEs: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Hacking the Out of Body Experience: Leveraging Science to Induce OBEs" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Where do we go when we die?Everything we know about the afterlife is based on someone elses spiritual experiences: near-death experiences (NDEs) and out-of-body experiences (OBEs) aka astral projection. Most of the information has been distorted by religious agendas, centuries of time, ancient language misinterpretations, cultural differences, and just plain lack of words for what really happened. Wouldnt it be great if you could get your own answers without coming close to death? Now you can.This book will teach you how to temporarily exit your physical body and explore the world beyond.Many books claim to teach you how to induce OBEs, but fail to deliver. Most sell you superstitious nonsense, occult rituals, or new-age mumbo-jumbo. Even the best seem to parrot the same stale techniques that dont work, and usually without any explanation of how theyre supposed to work. This book is different.Hacking the Out of Body Experience is the best and most complete collection of no-nonsense techniques to induce OBEs. There is no cruft. Its one hundred percent OBE techniques, based on Petersons 40 years of firsthand experience, solid principles of neuroscience, bio-hacking, and information gleaned from all the experts in the field. Best of all, each technique contains a detailed explanation of the principles behind it and how it works.

Introduction
I thought about titling this book 50 Ways to Leave Your Body which brings to mind the old song by Paul Simon. Slip out the back, Jack! There are actually more than 50 OBE techniques in the book, but in the end I decided it didnt quite fit. A friend suggested 50 Shades of OBE too, but that sounded too cavalier. This is a serious book about how to leverage science for OBEs. As a computer guy, the concept of hacking your way in just makes more sense to me.
The only goal of this book is to give you enough tools to self-induce out-of-body experiences (OBEs). It will provide numerous OBE techniques from a wide variety of sources, including the best recommendations from experts in the field. It will also provide a dvanced strategies, advice, tricks, tips, hacks, and secrets for inducing OBEs. Best of all, this will all be grounded in science and experience , not superstition or lore. By science, I primarily mean modern brain science (neuroscience), medicine, and psychology.
I wrote this book for one simple reason. One day in 2017, I realized it had been twenty years since my first book, Out of Body Experiences: How to Have Them and What to Expect, had been published. That hit me hard. What hit me harder was that, although it met with some success, it was not the de facto guide to inducing OBEs, as I thought it would be. The OBE groups on Facebook still got daily posts asking How can I do astral projection? I was especially dismayed to read a comment from one guy who said, I read a bunch of books: William Buhlman, Robert Monroe, Robert Bruce, Robert Peterson, and I still cant do it. Clearly my instructions werent enough. Apparently my well-defined OBE induction procedures, that worked so well for me, didnt work for others. I needed to fix that.
More frustrating was the fact that as I had become older, it had become harder for me to induce OBEs. It wasnt that I didnt know the process. It just didnt work as well for me anymore. What once seemed easy was now difficult. I had become distracted by worldly matters: my job, wife, house, dog, hobbies, and many reasons to not sleep in late like I had. I had gotten not only lazy, but rusty.
But wait. Was it that? As a hobby, I had studied the human brain for years, so I wondered: Was it something about the aging process? Did my brain produce less melatonin at night or was my pineal gland a victim of years of calcification? Had my neural pathways for OBEs been rerouted from underutilization? Had my years as a computer analyst caused my brain to become too analytic? Had I gained too much weight or become vitamin deficient? Was it my blood pressure medicine?
I began experimenting with vitamins and supplements to study their effects. I experimented with various forms of meditation, mantras, and so forth. I listened to binaural beats, hemi-sync, and other audio tracks that supposedly help with OBEs. I re-doubled my affirmations and intentions.
I started to feel like simple instructions were not enough. Inducing an OBE requires a delicate balance of a lot of factors, and if any one of those is off, it doesnt happen. But what are those factors? In my 58 years, I had amassed a collection of more than 200 books on astral projection and OBEs, and they often conflicted with one another. Some books said to get ample sleep, or even oversleep; others said sleep deprivation helps. Some said to practice in total darkness; others, a dimly lit room. Some recommended you be as comfortable as possible; others recommended slight discomfort. Some advocated a stress-free lifestyle; others said some stress helps. There are even disagreements about which direction to point your body, what to eat, and how to meditate. Why the disparity? Is there a scientific basis for this, like differences of body chemistry, brain chemistry, or hormones, or is it purely psychological? I previously spent years analyzing what worked and didnt for me. In the end, the only thing that really ever mattered for me was how much time I spent practicing , but clearly that wasnt enough. I needed to think outside the box.
I wanted to make OBEs more accessible, for me and for others. So I did more research. I started re-reading my OBE library, gleaning what I could from every book, and acquiring new books as they were published, then posting a book review on my blog to share what I found with others. Every book I read had important clues, but none of them brought it all together.
I devoured books on neuroscience and brain research, like Mapping the Mind by Rita Carter and research papers on the brains Default Mode Network (DMN) and its role in consciousness. I found a huge gap between what scientists and OBE adepts believe. Most scientists say OBEs are all inside your brain; a perfect storm of electrical activity inside your skull. Most adepts insist OBEs are experiences of a non-physical world. Seeing is believing. Experience trumps belief. Full disclosure: Ive had many hundreds of (or maybe more than a thousand) OBEs since 1980, so I count myself among this group.
Most experiencers vehemently deny the scientists: Looking for the soul inside the brain is like looking for the announcer inside the radio. Meanwhile, most scientists deny the experiencers: Where is the proof? Its all inside your head, and evidence to suggest otherwise is merely coincidence. So which is it, subjective or objective? Brain or soul? Monism or dualism? Since most experiencers dont care about proof and arent providing a lot of concrete evidence, it falls to the scientists to uncover the truth. But the key to science hinges on our ability to reproduce what we wish to study.
