At that time，Monroe was a succesful businessman，having graduated from Ohio State University with a degree in engineering，and a second one in journalism. As an executive of a radio station，Monroe led a busy and normal life. That same year Monroe began studying what happens to consciousness while the body is asleep. His first experiments consisted of listening to tapes that contained various types and combinations of sounds. He researched out of body experiences (oobe's) until his own death. In his 3 books (Journey Out of Body，Journeys Beyond the Universe，and The Ultimate Journey)，Monroe shares what he has found after years of researching，studying，and experimenting using most often his own experiences as reference and/or basis for his observations. His notes are very sober and clear，and he manages to transmit clear，impartial，'reporter' type descriptions. His narrations are consistent and well organized，and his writings slowly go into details about life，death，and much，much more. (subjects presented in his second and third books are not discussed in this paper)罗勃特·门罗是维吉尼亚州门罗心智研究学会的创办人，他在1958年开始研究意识的变易状态。

当时，门罗是一个成功的商人，他毕业于俄亥俄州立大学，获得工程学士学位和新闻学士学位。

门罗身为广播电台的主管，过着忙碌而平常的生活。

同年，门罗开始研究身体入睡时的意识状况。

他的第一个实验是听包含各种类型和组合的声音。

他从此一直致力于脱体经验(oobe's)的研究，直到他去世为止。

在他的三本著作(《脱体之旅》、《世外之旅》、《终极之旅》)中，门罗介绍了他多年来的研究、探索和实验的发现，大多以他亲身经历作为他观察的参考和基础。

他的笔记非常严肃、清晰，他力求准确、公正和“记者”式的表述。

他的叙述前后一致、组织良好，他的作品逐渐对生命、死亡和其他更多问题作了详尽的探究。

(本文对他的第二、第三本书的内容不作讨论。

)In his first book，Monroe describes an oobe as，"1. A person perceives part of the environment that cannot be perceived by the physical body 2. The person is fully aware that this is not a dream state" (Journeys Out of Body，pg. 8). That is，all of the subjects critical faculties are normal，and they bear full consciousness of his/herself and of the environment. He points out that not only have oobes been reported all over the world，coming from different ethnic and social backgrounds，but that most of our ideas concerning life，death，souls，rebirth，and so on，resulted from experiencing oobes. The difficulty in studying the out of body phenomenon arises out of the fact that it is usually very spontaneous. Few people manage to repeat them，and even fewer have any sort of control over out of body states. Nonetheless，Monroe set out to scrutinize such states，dedicating much of himself to understanding the process behind an out of body experience (and consequently，understanding himself). A great part of his books consists of notes taken immediately after he would awaken from his experiences，and definite conclusions，though few，are present.在他的第一本书中，门罗把脱体经验描述为：“1. 一个人感知到不能被肉身感知到的环境的一部份。

2. 他完全知道这不是梦”(《脱体之旅》第8页)。

就是说，所有当事人的判断力都是正常的，他们具有对他/她自己和环境的完整意识。

他指出，不仅世界各地都有脱体经验的报道，它们来自不同的人种和社会背景，而且我们大部分有关生命、死亡、灵魂、再生等观念都来源于脱体经验。

研究脱体经验现象的困难之处在于实际上它通常都是非常自发的。

几乎无人能成功地重复它们，甚至更没有人能对脱体状态加以任何控制。

然而，门罗开始对这种状态进行细察，他致力于了解脱体经验背后的过程(并因而了解自己)。

他书中的大部分内容由他的笔记所组成——从他的脱体经验中醒来之后，他立刻作记录——以及明确的结论，尽管他提供的结论极少。

As he began his work，Monroe started experiencing a particular altered state of consciousness. He referred to this state as the second state，the first state being our normal，everday waking attention. This second state includes feelings of vibrations，looseness of the limbs，a sense of being inflated，not to mention a definite change in state of mind. He also began noting he could feel what seemed to be a second body. Since Monroe lacked any sort of mystic，superstitious approaches，he began differentiating between what he called Locale I and Locale II. He was never confortable with the term astral，since its origins are mostly mystic and occult in nature，often involving witchcraft，sorcery，and magic，and this was never Monroe's temperament. He had a very western，science oriented mind thus being very analytical and with a keen sense of logic. And so Monroe designated these terms: Locale I is the everday physical world we all perceive，while Locale II is a nonphysical environment. Our physical body is thus our 'vehicle' for Locale I，and the 2nd body the vehicle for Locale II.当他开始他的研究工作时，门罗开始经历一种特别的意识变易状态。
