My current audiobook release was written by the exceptional
Marilynn Hughes and founder of the Out of Body Travel Foundation. She has been
in the media for many years appearing on TV shows like "The Joan Rivers
Show" and on radio's leading late night talk show "Coast to
Coast AM with George Noory". Marilynn shares her own personal experiences
of astral travel and teaches others how they to, through practice, can astral
travel as well. Marilynn was kind enough to share a little about herself and
the newest release of the Out of Body Foundations Journal Issue Nine.
Can you give us a brief summary of who you are and how you
got started writing about OBE's?
“My first experiences were very
spontaneous and unexpected, so I began to journal about them. You can read more
about that here http://outofbodytravel.org/reviews.html
“
How did having these experiences change your lookout on
life?
“Everything changed.”
When you had your first OBE, did you know what was happening
to you?
“Not really, I was pretty blown away.”
Have you ever been scared in your travels?
“Many times, I've been involved in spiritual warfare and dealing with
ghosts and when those things first began happening, they did scare me. “
How has these experiences changed the way you treat others?
“Everything changed”.
You sell your books but also provide all you books for free
as an ebook, why did you choose to do that?
“In one of my experiences, I was surrounded by the Prophets, Saints, Mystics,
Sages and Ascetics from all World Religions from throughout time. They made me
promise that everything would be available for free so that anyone in the world
no matter how poor could read them. And from this came our mission statement,
as well. Mother Teresa had said that spiritual poverty was often worse than
physical poverty. Our Mission Statement was borne out of her words, and this
experience which is to 'Reduce Spiritual Poverty Worldwide.”
What kind of message are you hoping to share, with the
world, through your work?
“That there is a purpose in this life, and it is the purification of
our souls. We must go from selfishness towards selflessness and we must
transform the darkness which remains within each and every one of us to light.
We must not waste our time here, there is a reason for our short mortal lives,
and we must seek it out.”
Why did you start the Out of Body Travel Foundation?
“I was instructed to do so in a
mystical experience.”
Can all people astral travel?
“Not all, but many can and do with a little guidance which we try to
provide at our website, http://outofbodytravel.org”
Do you promote one religion over another? How do you feel
about organized religion?
“I am personally Catholic. But, no, I honor and respect all religions
and their people. I've studied them all and feel that they all have their
unique beauty and although I am personally Catholic, I still utilize all faiths
in my own journey as the spirit directs me to do so.”
Can you explain a little about what the OOBTF's journals
are?
“Yes, they were originated to teach people more about out-of-body
travel and concepts related to mysticism, and they evolved into many different
things including a desire to spread the work of other mystics from throughout
time throughout the world.”
In Issue Nine of your journal it shares the teachings and
insights of one Huzur Maharaj Chawan Singh, why did you choose to devote a
whole issue to this man?
“Because I had a profound mystical
experience with him and he asked me to do this, as well as, to put together
another book which is called 'At the Feet of the Masters.' He is deceased. And
shortly thereafter, I received an exclusive article written about his grandson
who is also a Sikh Master and was asked to publish it. Ironically, this issue
of our Journal is one of the most popular in print.”
Having read this issue and narrated it, Chawan Singh
explains how one must practice and go into meditation focusing on the third
eye. Would you agree with him?
“Oh, absolutely, and the crown chakra, as well. The Sikh teachings
focus on the living stream of sound, as well, and I recommend his writings, as
well.”
Is the process of learning to astral project universal or
unique to the individual?
“Yes, but there are similarities
between differing paths.”
Marilynn, it has been an honor narrating your work and have
found this issue to be one full of wisdom and great tools on spiritual
development and astral projection. What parting advice would you give to reader
looking to embark on such a remarkable journey?
"We only have so much time, don't waste it." In the words of
some magnificent angels who spoke to me about the importance of not wasting our
time here in this mortal world. Don't wait, just dive in . . . and thank you for
your wonderful work in narrating this book. So appreciated!”

ahold of you and see all of your other work? .Again thank you for your time and
