Reception

Dave Langford reviewed Beyond the Body for White Dwarf #47, and stated that "Blackmore decides that almost certainly OBEs are subjective, abnormal psychological states - raising fascinating questions about similarities between experiences, even those of obscure tribes. Could they be a consequence of the 'wiring' of the brains? Also included is much analysis of case histories and the theories of (eg) Theosophists."[1]
