After a spontaneous out-of-body experience in 1972, I read everything I could find on similar topics. My primary influence was author Jane Roberts whose writings and experiences resonated with me. I continue to investigate the entire field of authors and psychologists who write on dreams, lucid dreams, remote viewing,  out of body experiences and extrasensory perception. I am equally inpressed with old and new authors who are adventuresome enough to investigate these aspects of consciousness.
