The Astral Codex: Using Dreams and Out-of-Body Experiences on a Spiritual Journey
A Guide to Using Out-of-Body Experiences for Spiritual Development
The Astral Codex is an effective, practical, and comprehensive guide to what out-of-body experiences are, what to see and do in the astral plane, how it fits into the structure of life, and how to use it for spiritual development.
Throughout history, seekers of spiritual wisdom have traveled beyond the body into other dimensions to explore a wider reality. Their experiences formed the basis of otherworldly accounts found in many of the world's sacred teachings. Drawing on decades of out-of-body experiences, Belsebuub explains how someone can use astral travel to seek out spiritual knowledge today.
The Astral Codex is based on the popular "A Course in Astral Travel and Dreams" by Belsebuub—a course created in 2001 that was studied online and in-person, and taken by tens of thousands of people worldwide. Of the people surveyed who took the course, 67 percent reported having an out-of-body experience as a result of it.
The Astral Codex includes sections with detailed Q&As from the course. Find out what lucid dreaming and astral projection is. Learn about the multidimensional nature of reality. Learn about what the astral plane is and how to travel there. Discover what dreams mean and how to remember them. Learn how to explore destinations in the astral plane. Discover how to become successful at astral projection. Overcome common obstacles to conscious astral travel. Find out how the mind and emotions affects our ability to perceive other dimensions. Learn about how we leave our body every night with sleep. Discover how dreams and the astral plane are connected. Learn about the different ways someone can have an out-of-body experience (OBE). Discover the stages and sensations of having an OBE. Learn exercises to help train the mind to stay focused on astral techniques. Find out why we have bad dreams and nightmares and where they come from. Discover the reasons why science is limited in its studies on OBEs. Learn how to use astral travel for gaining spiritual knowledge. Learn about the symbolic language of higher dimensions and how to interpret it. And much, much more...

BELSEBUUB’S BIOGRAPHY
Mark was born in Britain. He had many supernatural encounters in his childhood, as well as psychic faculties. This is when he began his search into spirituality, but it became more intensive as a teenager. After reading numerous spiritual books, and attending various talks, including the talks of Krishnamurti, in 1990 Belsebuub came across what he considered the most effective techniques for self-knowledge and inner change.
Belsebuub began to explain these techniques to others soon after, spending a decade giving in-person classes across the UK and Australia. In 2001 he wrote a series of courses on out-of-body experiences, self-discovery, and spiritual knowledge. These were first published online and eventually taught in cities around the world, becoming the most popular courses of their kind at the time, and were taken by over ninety thousand people in over one hundred countries. In 2010 he decided to stop teaching in order to focus on writing, and withdrew from public life.

Belsebuub’s books addressed a wide range of topics, including out-of-body and near-death experiences, the supernatural forces behind world events, self-knowledge, dreams, and ancient wisdom. His focus was on enabling each person to gain their own experience of spiritual realities.
In addition to his printed books, Belsebuub’s work was also published on his website, www.belsebuub.com, in the form of articles, videos, and audio recordings.

This is the latest edition of a series of books on astral travel and lucid dreaming that Belsebuub has written. His first book I can say, along with his teachings on self-knowledge for the purpose of awakening, changed my life. If it's the first time you've come across his work and are open to spirituality (you must be if you're reading!) it could change yours. Having your own out-of-body experiences can be the proof you need to really pursue a spiritual path. But even if you do - the question always arises - what now? How can I use this for something more important? Is it just to fly around and see beautiful things? It's here that Belsebuub has a unique insight, and I'd say authority, to guide others in using these experiences for something profound.
Though there are less practical tips in this book, there is more encouragement to find your own intuitive feeling for astral practices, and this is something I've really appreciated and feel is a great way to begin. The basics of astral travel are simple - relaxation and concentration - OK, but the effective applying of them take time, but once these are understood it's that yearning and sense of discovery that is essential for keeping 'the magic alive'. I think this book does a lot to help ignite that, especially as Belsebuub has some incredible personal experiences to share - the one in the Pyramids is spine-tingling in its beauty.
So for those looking for more than a how-to manual, this is the book. But the website: Belsebuub.com is also full of articles, sound files and a place where like-minded people share their thoughts and experiences on spirituality.

This free eBook is the latest version of the author's series of books on out-of-body experiences (astral travel, astral projection). From the first one I read, I managed to have real, conscious OBEs, lucid and meaningful dreams, premonitions, and much more. So it works.
What this latest book brings is much more info related to OBEs such as self-knowledge. It is updated for the current day, and includes new topics such as the view science has of OBEs, and contacting ETs.

This book has been a proof for me that somebody with a deep knowledge of a subject can write about it with ease, clarity and simplicity that is impossible for someone who only has a partial understanding.
When I first came across this material some years ago, it was just what I needed to get me consciously into the astral plane. The other places online that I was searching lacked the depth and didn’t sufficiently explain the connection between astral projection and lucid dreams, or the connection between the happenings in the astral plane and our internal states/spiritual level. The book not only explains what’s needed for a successful AP to happen, but also how to use the astral journeys for self-knowledge, which is a prerequisite for having more meaningful and spiritual experiences.
I was also pleasantly surprised to find some new practices in the book (in comparison to the old version), like contacting extraterrestrials or an ancient practice of projecting to the stars.
I think the book is a must have for anyone trying to build his connection to the spiritual worlds in an objective and practical way.

This new and updated edition of material originally appearing free online in 2001 and then in the book "A Course in Astral Travel and Dreams" is a most practical and efficient guide that one could ask for. In it, Belsebuub explains the step-by-step process that has taught me and apparently tens of thousands of others to learn how to astral travel.
Many techniques for the actual projection are given, as well as useful exercises that can be done during the day to increase one's chances of successfully projecting. It's truly amazing when you get it right and can verify all the things said about the astral for yourself. I am very thankful personally that this information has given me the opportunity to do just that...
If you're interested in learning how to astral project, then pick up this book and get ready to succeed!

This is the most helpful book on astral projection I’ve come across. There are many books out there that write on the subject but barely do so with such insight and detail. It’s often evident that they toss around the same ideas and theories. I found that, in this book, the author was providing me with tips to succeed in astral projecting that came from his past trials and errors and that he was passing on knowledge rather than mere theories. I can safely attribute the successful and life-changing experiences I’ve had with astral travel to this type of guidance. Besides the OBE aspects of the book, I was happy to find the many gems that touched upon spiritual growth and how to strive for it. A worthy read!

I just read a fascinating section where Belsebuub describes an astral experience in which he did a meditation practice in an Egyptian temple. In this meditation practice, he sat before a bowl of water that reflected the starlight from a long vent shaft in the temple wall, such as the shafts in the pyramid, and contemplated the stars. It sounds like a beautiful practice, it would be really interesting to try this...

It's rather easy to find techniques with which to astral project and accounts of experiences on the astral plane, but I feel it's another thing to find a clear and comprehensive explanation of that dimension, how to learn to use it and what to do there to help your spiritual development, and what are the obstacles to that and how to overcome them. All of this is what The Astral Codex does.
Everything the author writes is from his personal experience and knowledge. He has learnt to astral project from scratch, he didn't have it as a natural ability. So he knows all about the common obstacles because he had to find a way to get through them. That's maybe one reason the book is so relatable and practical, and not theoretical in an abstract way. It's all about being able to apply it in your practice rather than read about it and forget it the next day.
For me the most helpful topic covered was the influence of the subconscious on dreams and astral experiences, explaining why they are sometimes vague, dark or garbled and how to clear them and understand them, how they are directly related to how we spend our days and what goes on in our psychology during any moment of the day. I think what's wonderful about it is how he explains that all unpleasant or negative states or experiences we have can be changed for the better and explains clearly how to do it. I've seen that it really works.
Most of all the book really clarifies that the astral plane is a deeply spiritual dimension and you can get spiritual guidance and knowledge from there and even potentially meet spiritual beings or go to spiritual places, and he explains how you could do it. For me this is amazing and unique information and absolutely worth reading.

The fundamentals of astral travel written in a language for modern times from today's leading authority on the subject. What more could anyone ask for?
In this book Belsebuub describes his own experience of using the astral plane for knowledge as well as the skills needed for other people to be able to do so. He talks about many of the topics relevant for astral exploration (preparation, obstacles, near-death-experiences, verification, mind, and many more).
In my experience, exploring the astral is more than a mechanical exercise, it requires an inspiration and a certain kind of interest to delve into the subject. Belsebuub explains the fundamentals in an easy-to-understand way and simultaneously peaks the kind of interest that is necessary for success.
It is a wonderful book, and I highly recommend any seeker of the esoteric to study it.

Most highly recommended book in the field by far. It accurately explains the subject in detail, has really terrific questions and answers sections, gives practical tips and advice, personal experiences of the author etc. But really it goes beyond that, painting the whole picture of astral travel and what to use it for.
The book is great if you've had a particular experience and are looking for an explanation, or great for beginners or even if you've had tons of experiences already and want to take it a step further.
The writing is almost deceivingly simple and clear, but don't be fooled, the information given is profound. And reading it makes you want to practice it tonight :-)!

If you're interested in astral projection, out of body experiences, lucid dreaming or dreaming in general I think you'd really enjoy this book. It describes some very inspiring personal experiences of the author, and a number of techniques are given to try so that people can get their own experiences and don't just have to believe what they're reading!

Thanks to Belsebuub and this book, along with a class I took based on an earlier version of this book, I have successfully learned how to astral project. I am very grateful, not only for the techniques, but also for the distinction between dreams, lucid dreams and out of body experiences and how to best use them for my spiritual learning.
July 27, 2014
If anyone would like to have an out-of-body experience or lucid dreams, I recommend this guide fully heartedly! It helped me as well as many other people I met to experience the astral world consciously and to discover a natural hidden potential we all have. Simple, detailed and very practical!

This is a paperback version of a wonderful ebook that I have reviewed here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... Always good to have a great content like this in a good old paperback form. :-)

This was the first book I read on astral projection, and I'm so glad I did. I've had many successful projections and lucid dreams using the techniques in this book.
November 2, 2014
First book I've chosen for astral projection. It is concise and lucid. I had many experiences with it. Highly recommended for anyone looking for more down to earth and practical guide to OBEs.

Fantastic book on astral travel and what to do with such a skill for spiritual growth. Very helpful for a beginner.
January 11, 2019
This is an excellent book to learn to have an out of body experience, and all about dreams.
Thanks to the information given by Belsebuub I was able to verify that there are other dimensions where spiritual beings truly exist.
The contents are very easy to understand and actually work.
This is by far the best book available on this topic.
