Astral Travel with Robert Temple

Robert Temple is author of many books including A New Science of Heaven, The Sirius Mystery: New Scientific Evidence of Alien Contact 5,000 Years Ago, Oracles of the Dead: Ancient Techniques for Predicting the Future, Open to Suggestion: The Uses and Abuses of Hypnosis, and The Genius of China: 3000 Years of Science, Discovery & Invention.

Here he explains that for ten years prior to his astral visits to the Bardo planes, he experienced nightly journeys in which he appeared to be receiving data from a space probe exploring the galaxy for new moons and planets. Eventually, he encountered both a spirit guide and a guardian who accompanied him on nightly voyages into the afterlife. This has continued for thirty years, up to the present day.
