The Illusion of Method: Undressing the Core Practice of Astral Projection, Lucid Dreaming, and other Psychic Phenomena Paperback – 24 July 2021

The no method really does get down to the core of what astral projection is. He outlines it on Reddit, but this book really fleshes it out, like it puts it in context. Bonus points for different methods too. If you were to buy one book on AP, this is it.

I was able to astral project and leave my body 4 times, once reaching the ceiling, once just waking up and lifting my astral body, and another time reaching far above my ceiling with some of the methods outlined in the book. I am grateful to the author and would highly recommend the book!

This book is amazing and i'm honestly so mad at the fact that these words are not acknowledged by the whole AP community, it's literally needed! I loved chapter 8, so far i've been practicing AP but without me realising i've kind of had this doubt deep at the back of my mind which i'm sure kept me away from it but this book got rid of it, I feel like if I want to go AP right this moment I can just do so, all this time these methods never kept me entertained, I get bored super easily and i am pretty inpatient, no method applied to me because i couldn't do it without somehow breaking the rules that limited me from AP, not on purpose but my clumsy, inpatient way of being would, i would always be mad that when I focus on my breathing/ear ringing/imagining things my thoughts would take over, I couldn't focus on them and it made me mad and anxious about the process, pushing me away, only for me to find out that it is something natural and my body was doing what it is meant to do! The simple "no-method method" is what I needed but didn't know, a method where I can be myself, no forcing an uncomfortable position or some type of exercise that didn't even help me AP, a method where I can be myself and have OBE's at my fingertips, so thank you! Your words were great, I totally loved your book and whatever you put out to the public you already know i'll buy it ASAP, i'm putting all my friends interested in AP on your book!!! This is what they need.I can gurantee that whoever reads this book to the end will be able to have MULTIPLE OBE's not just one by the end of the month, even less, by the end of the week as it all depends on you once you read the book!

Well I brought your book and it is truly a master work. I have read many different books over the years and tried a few different methods but always had the nagging intuition that it should be simple as that "feels" right. I also realised that it was not something I could actively control but did not know why. Well now I do!This book gives amazing insights into the psychological and unconsciously adopted traps that our human nature and controlling aspect automatically leads us into. I feel like your book should be mandatory reading for anyone who wishes to succeed in Astral Projection.The section "The Core Practice Simplified" is indeed simple and genius!If anyone doubts the idea of this book they should Google "Bruce Lee Quotes on Style", as the great man said "“The man who is really serious, with the urge to find out what truth is, has no style at all. He lives only in what is.” Well this book proves that this quote applies to Astral Projection as well...

I've been trying to learn to astral project for 7 months with nothing to report other than two spontaneous OBEs. Then I read this book and the number of OBEs that I was having went through the roof! I'm now able to have them as often as I like and currently, I'm averaging one every other day.No other book, technique, supplement or drug has been as effective as the teachings of this book. THIS is the way to astral project, no other method comes close.

One of the best books I've read on astral projection and I have read a lot of them.It's like a breath of fresh air.Mark explains that it is not the egoic self or the I that induces these experiences,so trying all the different methods will be futile.I can't wait for more books like this.Well done Mark!

I finally finished the book. And I must say: Awesome! This book has brought me so much knowledge about astral projections that it has helped me a lot to make my first experiences. In the beginning astral projection was a very abstract topic for me. I had experienced sleep paralysis before, but didn't know what to do with it. An acquaintance told me that he had once heard that you can use this state to leave your body. Thereupon I was interested in the subject. I meditated for countless hours without great success. Once I had a spontaneous out-of-body experience and I wondered how it could be that it just happened without doing anything. I read several books about astral travel, but this one brought all the information together in one place. It confirmed my suspicions and finally gave me the confidence, which is basically what it's all about, to believe and trust in myself. As a result, I now experienced about 10 astral projections. I found myself in my room and once I went out into the street. I would never have really believed that such a thing was possible. But here I am writing this review and now I know that it works 100%. Save yourself a lot of other books. Here you get everything super understandable summarized. I will never regret this purchase. Big thanks to the author!

Experienced Astral Traveler. This book gets talked a lot throughout the AP communities so I decided to educate myself more. This book dives into some technical aspects of APing, what it takes to AP consistently and the underlying mechanics of Astral Projecting. Even though this is based off of one mans interpretation, it does ring a bell with truth. The arguments and theories Mark articulately describes will make you think and re-evaluate your own method.I would consider this book a modern take on Astral Projection with FRESH and NEW ideas. If you are just starting out on how to AP or you are looking to educate yourself even more on the subject then please read this book. It was a fast read and very informative. Mark is a good person overall and it does come through in his writing. You will not be disappointed.

One day I found a Reddit post from Mark, the author of this book. His “no-method” method sounded too-good-to-be true and totally counterintuitive. How could it possibly be as effortless as he described? I don’t know - but it was.The next morning, I followed his instructions immediately upon waking up. Didn’t take more than a few seconds. And in a SINGLE INSTANT I was sitting up in bed and clutching astral pillows! I hadn’t moved a muscle, climbed an imaginary rope, imagined myself at a mirror or literally ANYTHING. There was no process and no passage of time. One second I was in my body lying on my back and the next I was all the way out and sitting upright.I got up, went and looked at my astral self in the mirror and began a nice, fun trip. It still blows my mind to think about.This book delivers what it says – a method to AP, without strain or effort – that anyone can use. It’s a quick, easy read that cleverly mirrors the journey many of us have: method after method…and then finally, no method. It may not be the first book you read on AP but it might be the last. Once you know it can be this easy, there’s no reason to go backwards.I’m convinced this will work for people of any experience level. I’m a beginner who started with Michael Raduga’s “The Phase” one of the easiest AP methods there is. But even it soon began to fail me, as it relied on good timing, strong focus and perfect execution – factors that don’t just fall into place night after night!So if you’re fan of Raduga or anyone else, I strongly recommend you try Mark’s “method” instead. The results are astounding. This book really makes it so simple and easy for everyone, as long you trust it’s possible.

I’ve been trying to AP for about 6 months on and off. I’ve fallen down many a rabbit hole into different techniques and teaching that just haven’t worked well for me so far. I’ve read several books on the subject and am still no closer to my goal than I was 6 months ago.The author of this book has an easy way of writing that captures your attention and doesn’t loose you in fancy words and long drawn out explanations that don’t serve you. He makes it seem so simple and believable that I feel there’s no way I won’t have better results.I highly recommend this book to anyone just starting out because it answered so many of my questions, the techniques are very easy to use and the author only speaks of himself and his experiences as it applies to what he’s trying to teach you.I look forward to rereading this book and hope to update my review once I’ve been successful!

This book speaks for itself. After two years of trying every method out there as well as residential retreats I had success the first week with the wisdom in this book. Worth every penny!
