 | Soul Traveler by Albert Taylor
Can out-of-body experiences help shape our destinies? In this amazing account, former NASA aeronautical engineer and space researcher Albert Taylor shines a dazzling light into the tunnel of the unconscious mind. From the deathlike night paralysis and lucid dreams of this childhood dubbed witch rides by his grandmother to his later quest to explain these extraordinary episodes, Taylor learned to identify the early signs of his facility for out-of-body experiences, also known as astral projection. Through extensive research and experimentation, Taylor learned to control his incredible flights of soul travel, enabling him to move beyond our physical plane, go to distant places, communicate with the dead, and gain psychic insights and miraculous healing power. Ultimately, he came to a deeper understanding of his own role on Earth, and the meaning of life and death. Now, Taylor shares his remarkable journey of discovery and shows how we too can develop this phenomenal ability--offering striking proof of dimensions beyond our own. AUTHOR: Albert Taylor
