1 Going towards the Light
"A Course in Astral Travel and Dreams" by Belzebuub is a hands-on approach to spiritual awakening. In an extremely clear and concise fashion, the author lays out definitions of the various spiritual dimensions and encourages every reader with step-by-step exercises to consciously leave their bodies at night.
The book is broken down into nine week sessions. In each chapter, Belzebuub explains the topic (such as what astral travel and dreams actually are), then includes a question and answer section from actual students in previous courses. The Q&A adds an interactive component to the book, giving the reader the answer to his own questions without actually having to ask them. I found this part particularly useful as it answered questions raised in my mind throughout the chapter. There is some repetition in the author's answers, but the patient reader will forgive him for that. It serves to reinforce the simplicity of the exercise. An additional section follows the Q&A which outlines the exercise of the week. The author offers practical Web link references such as the sound of the mantra the reader should repeat, thereby enhancing the entire reading experience.
"A Course in Astral Travel and Dreams" should be taken as an augmentation to the free online course offered at http://www.gnosticweb.com. I imagine most readers would lose confidence without the interaction of a group setting as it is extremely difficult to follow through with the exercises without guided support. The book offers novice astral travellers a chance to taste a new dimension and raise their awareness to a level they never knew existed before reading the book.
This is not your typical out-of-body experience book. It challenges the reader to probe the spiritual realm in a methodical and purposeful way. It is in no way threatening, despite the pen name of the author who, unfortunately, chose nomenclature too reminiscent of Beelzebub to be overlooked. The discerning reader will comprehend that this book goes to the Light and rejects the darker side within minutes of reading this fine work.

2 A Course in Astral Travel and Dreams
A Course in Astral Travel and Dreams is a detailed 9 lesson (9 week) course for those individuals wanting to learn about astral projection. This series of lessons gives basic background information about astral projection and dreaming as well as step by step training exercises to increase concentration, focus, and awareness. Also contained within each lesson are questions from previous students of the author and the author's responses to these queries. Questions from these students range from clarification on techniques to the sharing of personal astral experiences. The Astral Travel Course as well as three other related courses (Searching Within, The Journey to Enlightenment , and Advanced Investigation ) are also available online free of charge at the Gnosticweb website www.gnosticweb.com.
A Course in Astral Travel and Dreams is a very well set out easy to understand course. All material is written for the beginner. Therefore, the reader need not have any previous experience with astral projection or the theories behind astral projection. This book takes the reader through a series of purposeful exercises to increase concentration, focus, and awareness. As the reader becomes more adept at these exercises, more information and more difficult exercises are added. This book even teaches several different astral projection techniques in detail. Thus, the reader gradually learns how to have an astral experience assuring that the experience can be successfully replicated and that such experiences will not be negative or frightening.
3 a practical down-to-earth guide
I had tried many times with many different techniques to project and failed again and again. I could barely even remember my dreams and I was about to give up when I found this guide and thought I had nothing left to lose. I was very skeptical because I thought that astral projection was just a figment of people's imaginations, and so I was surprised and excited to find that after trying these practices I started to get success and experience the astral for myself!
This guide gave me what other websites and books about astral travel did not. It gave me down-to-earth, practical and very effective techniques to explore astral travel and lucid dreaming. Through allowing me to get experiences, it also showed me that there is so much more there is to life than what we can experience through our five senses; so much information and potential that can really enhance your existence.
One of the best things I found about this book is that you're not just expected to believe what is written, but you're encouraged to go out and investigate for yourself, and then shown how to do this. And then it's just up to you to follow the course and do the exercises and experience Astral Travel for yourself!
Highly recommended to anyone who wants practical techniques rather than lots of theory. And don't give up if you've never managed to experience the astral, I hadn't no matter how many times I tried until I found this guide. And the second edition is even better than the first!
To many amazing experiences!
4 Profoundly Simple!
If you are looking for something that will totally open your eyes to experiencing the multi-dimensionality of life, Astral Projection is what you need. And to learn to do it, this book is a must! I've read a ton of literature on Astral Projection and was getting exhausted by all of the useless theories that seems to surround subjects like this. When I came across the online courses, I was pleasantly surprised by how simple it was explained. With practice, I was able to finally experience it for myself.
If you want to project, all you have to do is follow the authors directions to the t. It's as simple as that!
5 These techniques work!
I came across the techniques in this book in the form of a free on-line course at www.mysticweb.org. I subsequently purchased this book as a handy reference to go back to.
This book is very different from any of the other books I have looked at. It leaves the theory at a minimum and cuts straight to the chase, which is how to actually experience the astral plane! What is great about this book is that it doesn't just teach you techniques for astral projection. Rather, if you follow it like it suggests, it helps you understand how to develop the discipline and concentration needed to consistently experience the astral, which believe it or not, is something anyone can do if they actually apply them self to it.
Using the techniques in this book and practicing in a disciplined way, in only three or so years I have been able to have literally hundreds of out of body experiences, and experience the astral on a very regular basis, whereas before I came across this information I had never experienced anything like that in my entire life.
What is given in this book can truly change your life if you are willing to put in the effort to unlock it.

7 Life changing!
To find something that you can say has changed your life, and the way you view existence is rare indeed.
I found one such thing the day I stumbled across the astral travel techniques covered in this book, and on the free online courses at www.mysticweb.org
The book offers a comprehensive coverage of all the tools you need,to learn to project on a consistent basis, with it in your hands, success is guaranteed, IF you put in the sincere efforts it requires.
What I got from this book is invaluable, not only the ability to astral project and explore wondrous realms and learn things I would never have been able to here, bound as I am by my body and the limitations of the physical dimension, but also a strengthened focus and determination, and the faith that I am not merely my body, and that there is far more to life than what I can see and feel, and that there is a lot hidden which is well worth striving for..
It is a wonderful opportunity to explore a whole new side of existence, and uncover mysteries that we did not even know existed!
8 Learning to Astral Travel
A very interesting and informative book - I don't think I could have learned to Astral project without these methods. The step-by-step approach did a lot to de-mystify the process, and made Astral projection seem very possible to experience. There's also a lot of useful advice and Q&A in the book that has inspired me to keep trying to improve my abilities.
The steps are quite straightforward and explained in plain English - making the techniques work is an individual thing, but I've found they do work very well with effort. It has been quite incredible to experience being out of my physical body, and to explore another dimension. The experience out there is really magical - it's the kind of thing that changes your whole worldview. There's a lot more to life than I once imagined.
If you're looking to gain some experience in the Astral, you'd be hard pressed to find a better book.

This book, which is the perfect compliment to the online course at Gnosticweb.com, is a most practical and efficient guide that one could ask for. In it, Belzebuub explains the step-by-step process that has taught me and so many others learn how to Astral travel.

10 Worth the dedication it takes
This course on Astral Travel and Dreams has been the best thing I've found to date. After searching the net frantically looking for information on how to consciously leave my body, I found this course. Although I managed to get out and have a rather hazy experience prior to doing it, it wasn't till I applied myself to the techniques on it - and specifically on -it- - that I began to have clear and amazing Astral experiences. It is very good, clear and down-to-earth, with techniques that work. And a book that comes with a free interactive online course too? It has my vote!
11 Prefer practical to theoretical? This is all you need.
I learnt to astral travel thanks to the methods in this book, so I can tell you that they work (if you apply yourself to them).
It's life-changing stuff, to leave your body and fly about exploring the world from that perspective - it's like a behind-the-scenes look at life. You can learn so many incredible things, which is why I want to share my feedback in this review. If you read the book, and want to experience it, practice it methodically is my advice: week by week. It must be the ultimate How-To guide to Astral Travel.
