Now wouldn't it be neat with a page on the man himself?

[edit] Bias, POV statement
I have removed the following statement "Incidentally in his later work he came to the conclusion that there is no such thing as being "out of body." Nonetheless, he is considered a pioneer by many who study astral projection." This statement gives the impression that Monroe somehow denounced his out of body experiences. This is not the case, he did in fact come to the conclusion that all things are one, and therefore there is no real separation. This would be a similar position to a Buddhist who has transcended the concept of duality or separateness. This kind of belief is far from him deciding there is no such thing as was previously stated. I hope that clarifies things. - Solar 17:29, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Bias, POV statement
Regarding Monroe's conclusion that astral projection does not entail one leaving their body, this was more to do with the development of the Phasing view of consciousness. In short, one does not leave their body but 'phases' to another point of awareness. Perception of reality is generated and experienced internally (by the Brain) and so to move out of body would actually be impossible. It’s only ones focus (viewpoint) which changes. According to the phasing viewpoint, all experience, reality, and the astral planes exist at certain focus levels. One simply has to phase (change focus) to experience these different locales.
