Bruce seems like simply one more New Age Guru who presents an aesthetically appealing system designed to offend the least number of people. What substance he presents is more or less a summation of the Work done on Astral Projection over the last century and a half by the real explorers. What Bruce provides is much akin to the lecture notes one borrows from a friend if we couldn't make it to the class ourself. There are places where he seems eager to be original, but the problem with Originality in the Spiritual Field is that if nobody has perceived these particular truths but himself, then how Universal could they possibly be. It is as though he is making it up so that we will be able to present material in his seminars that not everybody has already heard before, which is what would happen if he simply went over the material that Oliver Fox, Muldoon, and Monroe had presented decades earlier.

yet he does bring together a good working synthesis of all these other systems, if you can forget what is original to himself which probably is based on no greater reality than being the only thing left in the realm of intellectual thought that had not been copyrighted before by somebody else. Perhaps I am being cynical, but it is difficult to put one's faith in doctrines that could be original only so that they could receive royalties every time they are repeated.
