My name is Michael. On message boards, I often use the name "Mendel" which is actually is my Hebrew birthname as well the middle name of the famous 20th century Jewish mystic, Menachem Mendel Schneerson. I currently live in Maryland and work as a computational scientist.
I started astral travelling in 2000 after becoming aware of the possibility of this experience reading websites such as Robert Peterson's. In 2003, I came across Bruce Moen's website. I learned from his books that astral travel could be used as a tool for performing retrievals of souls temporarily stuck in the astral planes. This really was a breakthrough for me, since I now felt there was a spiritual value to my explorations. These days, retrievals have become increasingly complex and downright confusing.
I started this website to share with you some of the crazy things I'm seeing out there. I also have developed a desire to use my astral travelling skills to help people both become aware of these realms and teach them how to explore the spiritual worlds for themselves.
