Bruce is best known for his studies of Out Of Body Experience, which first became public in the early 1990s through his activity in the alt.out-of-body Internet news group. Over time, he collected and peer-tested his findings in an evolving set of articles, A Treatise on Astral Projection, which he later expanded upon substantially to form his first book, Astral Dynamics, which has sold over 50, 000 copies as of 2008. text/html 2011-03-31T14:48:15-07:00 Jason Compton http://www.gatesofmysticism.net/dokuwiki/doku.php/astral_projection?rev=1301608095&do=diff Astral projection (or astral travel) is an interpretation of out-of-body experience (OBE) that assumes the existence of an “astral body” separate from the physical body and capable of traveling outside it.

The texts are of great mystical and historical significance, as they include the oldest known surviving copies and extra-biblical documents and preserve evidence of great diversity in late Second Temple Judaism.

Dee's journals contained the Enochian script, and the table of correspondences that goes with it. It claims to embrace secrets contained within the apocryphal The Book of Enoch. text/html 2011-03-22T14:35:32-07:00 Jason Compton http://www.gatesofmysticism.net/dokuwiki/doku.php/law_of_attraction?rev=1300829732&do=diff Law of Attraction From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The phrase Law of Attraction, although used widely by esoteric writers, does not have an agreed-upon definition.
