John, I am currently reading Bruce 5th one; it is not only a great compilation of techniques found in the 4 first books, but he added new ones as well. I also read all Monroe books. I have had some rare OBE's within years but remember that Bruce clearly claimed the he never teaches OBE's, so Monroe and Bruce techniques are not comparable. Monroe: explore and map states of consciousness by projecting your consciousness out of your body. Bruce: kind of the same global goal but has dedicated his work in Retrievals, without OBE's so to speak. One day I was exchanging a brief email correspondence with him because I had a question on one of his books, he humbly admitted that he was not that good as an OBE' traveller. He was more working by projecting his consciousness to some specific areas/states, and from "there" exploring and doing retrievals. Well, that was the way I understood it. And his advice to me was helpful: kind of "Carl, don't bother trying in a rage to perform OBE, just pretend to be there and try to imagine it at first". Very wise, and so I would say Monroe books and Bruce books are not at all comparable, but complementary. Hope it helps. Carl
