Never one to ask others to do something he would not, Monroe often used himself as a test subject for this research. In 1958, a significant result emerged-Monroe began experiencing a state of consciousness separate and apart from the physical body. He described the state as an "out of body experience," which has since become a generic term in consciousness literature.
This section of The Monroe Institute website is dedicated to Bob's words, actions, and legacy. He was truly a unique explorer ahead of his time.
According to his own account, while experimenting with sleep-learning in 1958 Monroe experienced an unusual phenomenon, which he described as sensations of paralysis and vibration accompanied by a bright light that appeared to be shining on him from a shallow angle. Monroe goes on to say that this occurred another nine times over the next six weeks, culminating in his first out-of-body experience. Monroe recorded his account in his 1971 book Journeys Out Of The Body and went on to become a prominent researcher in the field of human consciousness
