Monroe wrote about a time traveling experience, if memory serves me corectly it was in Ultimate Journey. It was an event that brings the whole concept of time as experienced in physical and nonphysical realities into question, and supplies much food for thought. It also has much to say about the nature and origin of demons.
Bob related how he had taken a nap on a cot, and found himself OBE in the same room, when suddenly he was attacked by what he perceived as demons. The demons jumped on his back and were clawing at him and he was terrified. Try as he might he could not reach around and dislodge these terrible beasts and so he was reduced to screaming for help to whomever might hear him. He then saw a man come walking down the stairs that led to the room he was in. The man walked over, lifted the demons off his back, and walked back up the stairs, carrying the demons away with him.
Years later Bob was again OBE when he heard someone screaming for help. He walked down some nearby stairs and there to his surprise he saw himself in his own "demon experience" that had occurred years earlier. He saw that the "demons" were actually two of the Monroe family's pet cats. They were also OBE and had jumped up on Bob's (the past Bob) back to play. He walked over, lifted the two cats off his previous self's back, and felt amused as turned and carried the cats back up the stairs.
So, in the first experience a "future" Bob had come to the aid of himself, "past Bob. Certainly gives a little twist to the whole concept of time and time travel, doesn't it? It's no wonder that through his writing and teaching Monroe encouraged people to explore firsthand the concept that, "I am more than my physical body."
And as for "demons," they existed in Bob's experience only as a result of his misinterpretation of his own perception. I'll bet dollars to doughnuts he had a fear of demons and unknowingly projected that fear onto the cats, causing them to appear and act to him as demons. Do we create our own reality? For me that is silly question best answered by smacking my own forehead and uttering, " Duh!"
So, is time travel while OBE possible? Bob's direct experience would say there can be no doubt. So, how could you travel to ancient Egypt or Rome? Perhaps once you are OBE you could just request the assistance of a Helper nearby who could guide you there? That would be my suggestion.
And do we need to be OBE to do and experience such time travel? From my experience I would say, undoubtedly, OBE isn't a necessary condition. Such time travel can be done wide awake, sitting in a chair, with your eyes closed using Focused Attention.
