Suggested Reading

[catmeow]

At the end of Robert Bruce and Brian Mercer's new book Mastering Astral Projection: 90-Day Guide to Out-of-Body Experience, they give a suggested reading list.  It's an interesting list so I've reproduced it here.  One or two of the newer titles look particularly interesting, eg Mind-Sight.  

Anyone interested in the "roots" of this subject would do well to investigate some of the "classic" literature, especially, Crookall, Fox and Muldoon.  In particular, Crookall was a prolific researcher in the field and his Study and Practice of Astral Projection is perhaps one of the best researched books ever written on the subject.

Perhaps I'll draw up and post a more comprehensive list, including titles by authors such as William Buhlman, but in the meantime, RB and BM's list is a good start, enjoy:
