Description: THE PHENOMENA OF ASTRAL PROJECTION Book Details + Condition: Rider and Company (London). First Edition, 1951. Hardcover. 220 pages with Bibliography. Illustrated. The book "has two main sections. The first, consisting of eight chapters, discusses the ‘doctrine of astral projection,’ including the idea that a human being has a ‘subtle body, normally coinciding with the physical, which is the body he inhabits after death’. Such a subtle body, the authors write, can in some circumstances temporarily leave the physical body during the person’s life. Muldoon and Carrington believe ‘astral projection’ implies that the mind is independent of the physical body, something that supports the idea of an etheric brain. This, they write, ‘certainly seems but a short step to the acceptance of an etheric body, separate and apart from the physical, which body we may inhabit at death, and which constitutes the vehicle of the mind in astral projections'. The second section, consisting of nine chapters, presents over 100 cases, most of them previously published. Apart from the final chapter, which briefly describes 36 unclassified cases, the authors cover deliberately induced projections, and those that happen under the effect of drugs, suppressed desire and other emotions, during accidents, illness, sleep, and while the person is awake. The latter include examples of experiences in which the person’s physical body was active while consciousness was felt to be exteriorized."
