The Phase: Shattering the Illusion of Reality

This is the one.........

Life changing. The practical approach of this book to get the job done is what makes this stand out as one of the best on how to achieve "astral projection " you aren't gonna get much in the way of a spiritual explanation/interpretation and it is pretty vigorous on its method but it definitely works. Plus theys a great online sight to join where you can accept weekly challenges to carry out in the phase state and help contribute experiences for research. I would recommend definitely if no other approach has worked or for someone just starting out . These days I find it difficult to use the method in its entirety, because of Life style and commitments but I still use the core of its message each time . It does take some dedication but if you follow exactly what it teaches you will have many wonderful experiences.Theys no light work needed or meditations but you will need to put in some effort but it works as it says

OK, so now 2 reviews with mine.I have read dozens of OBE books over the past 35 years. A lot of these books are frankly not great.I have experienced OBE's and Lucid Dreams. I am nothing special, but willing to try these methods with an open mind. You can do this too.This book is in my top list of useful and honest accounts plus some excellent advice that ties in with my own and other teachers advice.Edit 2023I now believe this books methods to be among the most powerful and effective out there. I have had incredible success with it.I absolutely recommend you also follow Michael's 3 part seminar ' Leave your body in 3 days ' which are very easy to find on YouTube. The first part 1 alone, is incredibly useful.If you follow MIchaels instructions you will have a life changing experience and your view of reality will be forever altered.5 stars from me.

A pity that on amazon.co.uk there were only 2 reviews, with one with a bad rating. To have a better idea about the average review go see amazon.com. To me, the book of Raduga is above the crowd in that he proposes a totally new approach that encompasses down-to-earth physics (well, quantum physics), religion, spirituality, chamanism, etc. There is more: yes the book advertizes his web site, and for good reasons, which wasn't mentioned by another reviewer: on this website, the author offers a 3x3 hours on "Phase training" on how to achieve lucid dream or OBE, in other words, a travel into the "phase". I watched those 3 long vids (actual group training given to a large audience) and, already after the very first one, had a "phase travel" the night after! Though it has been personnally difficult to repeat the experience at will, but that doesn't remove anything to the high quality of this book (and I read a LOT on OBE's and Lucid Dreaming)! A must have if you are interested on the subject, in the Top 5 of the books on OBE's in my humble opinion.

There is no dfference between this edition and the freely avaiable 2012 edition save for what is essentially a condensed rehash of rhe remainder fo the content, the scientific correlations are in some cases either questionable or speculative. there are parts of the book in which Raduga appears to contradict himself, further more i think this book is no more than a thenly veiled marketing brochure for his "training" cetnres which by the look of if undergo name changes. if you really want to to study this subject and master lucid dreaming(which Raduga calls "the phase") i would direct the reader to the following for a better treatment,,exploring the world of lucid dreaming, by stephen leberge and the dream machine by Keith Hearne. they are base don far better methodologies

There are much better books than this. Anyone really interested should read Robert peterson books.

This is very interesting book, with a lot of different ways to start lucid dreaming! Also has a lot of autor's dreams stories. I've just started reading it over again! Very recommended!

Wenn Du Dich für luzides Träumen oder OBEs interessierst: Dieses Buch erfüllt vor allem einen Zweck so gut wie kein zweites, das ich bisher gefunden habe: Es zeigt Dir, wie Du möglichst einfach möglichst viele möglichst qualitativ hochwertige luzide Träume oder OBEs erreichen kannst.Michael Raduga hat sich die Mühe gemacht, mit Tausenden Teilnehmern herauszufinden, welche Techniken am besten geeignet sind, um möglichst viele luzide Träume oder OBEs zu erreichen. Das Ergebnis ist dieses Buch, mit dessen Hilfe man schon in den ersten Tagen mehrere solcher Erlebnisse haben kann. Wenn nicht in den ersten Tagen, dann spätestens in den ersten Wochen. Michael Raduga spricht in seinem Buch von hohen Erfolgsquoten und ich kann diese aus meiner eigenen Erfahrung bestätigen: Seitdem ich Michael Radugas Techniken anwende, habe ich mehrere luzide Träume wöchentlich, manchmal sogar mehrere in einer Nacht. Und ich bin jemand, der NICHT von Natur aus viele luzide Träume hat, sondern sich diese Technik erst aneignen musste.Es gibt übrigens auch eine kostenlose App von Raduga mit dem gleichen Namen wie das Buch ("The Phase"), bei dem zentrale Infos kostenlos zusammengefasst sind (finde ich sympathisch, dass Raduga dieses Wissen kostenlos herschenkt). Aber in diesem Buch sind unzählige weitere Informationen, die ich für äußerst wertvoll halte und welche für die eigene Erfolgsrate und Qualität der Erlebnisse sehr hilfreich sind. Auch wenn das Buch 300€ kosten würde, würde ich den Kauf empfehlen. Es lohnt sich.

If you want to learn to have these conscious out of body experiences, this is the best manual for doing it that I have ever come across. All it takes is some focus and intention, and these techniques will work!

This is my first review ever on Amazon, and I have bought a lot of books and other things from them. I have been reading about lucid dreaming and out-of-body experiences ever since I was twelve years old. I am forty-eight now. I maintained a constant interest in the subject over ALL of those years. I have bought dozens of books over the years, and I know that I have read at least fifty books on the subject. But, no matter how I tried, I never succeeded in having more than maybe four such experiences a year, if that. I also never had any kind of control over the experience once I did have one. However, I swore that one day I would find the one book or technique that would explain precisely how to have lucid dreams and out-of-body experiences on a regular basis. This is that book. You will not regret buying this book. I believe in it so much that I have even bought extra copies and given them away to people.Since reading this book, I have learned to enter the state as much as twice a week and more. I am able to get to places that I need to go to, to find people I want to find, and to accomplish tasks that I wish to accomplish. I have learned how to deepen the state and to maintain the state for several minutes at a time. I am also able to re-enter the same lucid dream, at least twice more, whenever it does start to fade out. Many times, this state is as vivid and real, and on several occasions more real, than the waking state itself.If you want a book that shows you Step-By-Step how to enter a lucid dream or out-of-body experience, how to deepen and maintain it, how to get places, how to meet people, and how to accomplish what you want to accomplish in this state, then buy this book. You may buy other books on the subject also, if you wish, but this is the only one you will ever really need.By the way, just by reading the book and not really even trying the techniques yet, I had a very realistic out-of-body experience/lucid dream within the first two weeks. I have had dozens of such experiences since then, almost at will.I have not been having as many experiences lately though, as my focus has been on first straightening out a couple of other areas of my life. So I have been neglecting practicing the techniques and I really regret that, for I was really on a roll there for a while. However, I am currently reading the book again, and I am confident that I will be able to pick my practice back up right from where I left it. Do yourself a favor and buy this book. The techniques are straightforward and really do work when you take the time to actually practice them.

After reading this book, Michael Raduga strikes me as a true genius in a lot of ways. Here he's spent nearly a whole lifetime 'entering the phase' (lucid dreaming) as he says. He covers almost every aspect of this phenomena (although the section of DILDs was spare, but makes sense because that's not his forte) and maintains a very evidence-based, scientific-method established perspective of looking at induction and application techniques.Beyond the indirect method (otherwise known as DEILD), which he really just does a great job of refining from other sources, his practicable, well-explained methods for dream travel, object location, 'deepening' and 'maintaining', mental and physical healing applications, and subconscious information gathering/verifying just add so much concrete stuff to the field it is amazing to me that he's not talked about more.The latter half of his book reads like a grounded and scientifically-minded LDing textbook covering all the important areas. And he delivers everything with such an earnest and sincere attempt to simply teach people the wonders of lucid dreaming.While not for everyone, I for one especially enjoyed the sections explaining his theory, which melds well with mine, on the quantum mechanical aspect of the dream state. He really reinforced my convictions that waking life really is the 'phase state', or dreaming state, only highly stable. Again, he's extremely grounded and his more 'out there' views are substantiated with interesting stuff on quantum mechanical experiments and facts about how the brain and mind create our waking 'copy' of whatever reality actually is, deep down and forever obscured.If reading this book, be prepared for some inconsistencies and un-sourced statistics. For instance, Mr. Raduga makes clear in one section that beginners shouldn't exhaust themselves with attempts more than three a week, but in other sections he seems to contradict this. And some statistics don't seem to make sense. For a big book on an important and still somewhat obscure topic, this amounts to nothing in comparison to the fact that his methods work and are somewhat easy. Read this book, either the free pdf or as I recommend supporting his work by buying the kindle or paperback. Good luck!
