   Then you'll be pleased to know that Monroe didn't manage it! ;-)   
      
   IIRC, (and my copy of Journeys out of the Body is not easily available for   
   me to check), Monroe had difficulty "leaving his body" because of the   
   measuring equipment attached to his body.  When he finally did, he was   
   disorientated, and went the wrong way, findding himself in a corridor   
   rather than somewhere from where he could "see" the numbers.   
      
   His brainwaves did change significantly at the time when he was "OOB",   
   however.   
      
   Odd that ne didn't ever try again, IMO.
