OBE novels, films, stories

[Yepyo]

Hi All,

I'm having trouble finding novels or films that directly explore astral travel.

Can anyone help?


Cheers

Hi Yepyo,

Amazon lists plenty, just search "Astral Projection" and "OBE" in the Books section, then click the Fiction link on the left. I'm an admitted literary snob, so I don't spend much time with fiction that doesn't absolutely compel me, but I think you'll find plenty of options there. You can do the same for movies.

While this documentary isn't specifically about the OBE state, it's well worth a view: http://www.amazon.com/Something-Unknown-Doing-Dont-Know/dp/B002XFDKUM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1339763862&sr=8-1&keywords=something+unknown+is+doing+we+don%27t+kno w+what

Of course, once there you can click around on other recommended links to dig deeper. I'm sure there's more out there that I'm not aware of.


Now that I think of it, there was that scene in Beverly Hills Ninja where Chris Farley astral projects...but I doubt that's where you're interests lie :-)

If you've ever heard of F. Paul Wilson (he writes the Repairman Jack novels that are my favorite), one or two in the earlier part of the series explores it a bit. Of course, it's not about that (just a literary device in a far 'bigger' story).
One of the problems that I have found with fiction that has spiritual devices is that it's just a platform to promote a viewpoint (which of course, is not a problem for me, as I already have a viewpoint) and sometimes the storytelling just isn't that good, but Wilson is not in this genre- it's my favorite of all fiction authors, at the moment anyway.
