The Phase: Shattering the Illusion of Reality Kindle Edition

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!

I just started the book so cannot comment on the overall quality of the information provided. However I did want to point out the crazy amount of spelling errors within the first two chapters... This guy talks about his very first book, how it too was full of spelling errors due to him self publishing without any editors etc. Now this is his 10th+ book with supposedly a team of editors, and computer software to prevent these errors making it through to the final copy.. So why does it feel like I am reading an unedited product? Some of these errors are unacceptable and should have easily been detected upon proofreading. For that I will take away a star. And the fact that the author refers to lucid dreams and astral projection as the exact same also deters me from coinciding with any of his further opinions.

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!

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

This is the most comprehensive book for lucid dreaming obe tecniques, I was a little put off when I got the book and relised that it was 300 pages of fine print, but the moment I started reading it it just went like butter. No bull aproach book. his tecniques gave me up to three experiences a week! Highly reccomend this book.
