'This is a ghost train of a book, sometimes frightening, sometimes lurid but what it reveals is always entertaining.' - Graham Hancock

Drawing on a fascinating array of material, both eastern and western, Steve Richards presents a unique panoramic view of the hidden or 'astral reality' -- the essential features of the astral landscape, the many facets of astral experience and how to embark on a never-to-be-forgotten journey of exploration beyond the body.
