It is with a heavy heart that I share news of my father, Robert Bruce. He passed away peacefully in his sleep at Fiona Stanley Hospital, surrounded by loved ones, on April 22nd, 2024, at 2:19 AM Western Australia time.
The suddenness of his passing has left me struggling to comprehend the reality of his absence. It seems like just yesterday that the doctors and his medical team were optimistic about his recovery. But fate had a different plan.
In his final moments, my father's parting desire was to simply be honoured. His kindness, love, generosity, and patience were boundless, encompassing all things great and small. He lit within a cheeky flame that inspired a whole new world to explore. I will miss him so very much.
I vividly recall conversations in our kitchen as he cooked, with the smell of chicken curry in the air as he shared his experiences while I, as a child, struggled to fully grasp their significance. Years later, with experiences of my own, I found myself cooking for him, and contributing to what so naturally became one of our most treasured passions.
Our last conversation, in fact, delved into the concept of the afterlife. Our understanding of the astral and what happens to us after death is certain, to us at least, that our spirit does indeed live on.
We have observed so much about our bodies and the astral for this to truly be the case. While it may appear controversial to some, when the physical body dies, it simply sets the astral body free.
Oh, what a year! It has been an extraordinary testament to my father's optimism and resilience. Faced with adversity, he inspired all who came to know him. The outpouring of support from the Astral Dynamics community during this challenging time has been an immeasurable source of strength. Your kindness and expressions of love have deeply moved us. I am eternally grateful for your presence in our lives, and for the moments of joy that your messages brought to my father's heart.
Robert was passionate about sharing his wisdom with the world, and I'm committed to seeing that through. While some of our plans will need to adapt, his legacy will live on. This, I assure you.

Thank you Jesse. I wanted to share a few personal thoughts on our Brother Robert below.
My knowledge of Brother Robert's work began with reading a Reddit Article in early April 2024. The sequence of events leading up to that point in time spanned many years of spiritual breadcrumbs. Following hearing of him I immediately ordered Robert's and Brian Mercer's Book.... "Mastering Astral Projection: a 90 day guide to Out-of-Body experiences". I'm still going through that Course but it has been an amazing learning experience, and I've had one spontaneous O-B-E a couple weeks back and have yet to finish the entire 90 day course. As well as his You Tube Videos are quite frankly amazing of which I've absorbed 2 and am sure there are many more to see. I will most certainly also follow on with ordering Robert's other Books as time goes on.
Robert's vast knowledge and skill in the Mystical Arts has been an amazing trip for me as mentioned. And reminiscent of other Mystics I've known or worked with over my life whom like Robert shared obviously very special spiritual and magnetic powers (such as Marcel Vogel, Pearl Doris, Syliva Brown, Deloris Hand and others). But I must say Robert's infectiously friendly, soft spoken, humble and grounded personality and his meticulously detailed written discourses are patiently crafted to share his wealth and treasure. This from what I feel is from his many many lifetimes of dedicated work with Spirit. On his Youtube Videos I've never heard of Robert speak of his own past lives, and in his Core Belief List in his Catch Basket article's list (as of his date of pening it anyway) he left Reincarnation as a "Probable". Implying he believed from a Scientific Method's perspective (which he loved to espouse) but he did not have direct and obvious confirmation. As of that date anyway. BUT....... personally I can not help but feel that Robert was the incarnate of an EXTREMELY old Soul whose list of past lives would probably STUN the world and stretch back many thousands or 10's of thousands of years. Souls like his do not "Willy NillY" (as Robert liked to say) come to his level of spiritual attainment with a mere passive interest, and a single lifetime of focus.
A Dream with Robert: In closing I wanted to share a Lucid Dream or Astral event I had with Robert after his passsing on June 9th, 2024 between 5:45-6:45 AM. I had a number of very clear visualizations of different things (will spare those details here) but they were unusually clear. Whatever I wanted to see was crystal clear and vivid for a period of 10-15 minutes or more. I believe it was from a combination of several of Robert's energy exercises from the prior evenings work, and perhaps higher self or other spriritual forces, or perahps Robert. I also seemed to be doing some of the same energy work exercises unconsciously during the sleep period. Although I couldn't recall the specific energy exercises it would have had to have included one or more of his Energy Bouncing, Energy Raising, or Chakra tuning exercises. I then had what seemed to be a very Lucid conversation with Robert (still with sharp visual clarity) either in a Dream state or an Astral state on subtle elements of his energy exercises and techniques, and was assured expectations of increasing shifts and steady increases of abilities with the use of those simple exercises.... and to expect increased momentum. Needless to say, it was so special to interact with him, and I received the impression he'll always be available as a coach for me from the other side now. And I expect this applies to each of us who've been touched by Robert's work in any way.
Thank you deeply Brother Robert. God bless you faithful servant of mankind. You've been a profound blessing to so very many of us on the path.
Dear Jesse,
My name is Robert Fornal, I sincerely offer my heartfelt condolences regarding the passing of your father.
He was truly an extraordinary man, he has been one of the few individuals to have profoundly altered my life for the better, through his books and sharing his knowledge. Everything, every technique and method he taught that I have tried has worked.
He has changed my life by opening my eyes and expanding my mind. My only regret is that I did not have the chance to meet him personally and say 'Thank you'.
Hello Jessie. My name is Ian Conger. It was about ten years ago that I'd read Astral Dynamics. I was discussing so points of it with your father, and asked him why he didn't have any HARDBACK Copies printed and he replied that he was currently in Negotiations with his Publisher to produce a limited edition of "HARDBACK SETS of his COLLECTED WORKS, all LEATHER BOUND"!!! To Honor him, I suggest contacting them and getting these sets produced!!! I'll GLADLY BE the First one to Buy a set!!! At that time he said they'd be about $200. So not I'm sure it'd be a bit more. so as long as it's not insanely priced, I'm sure you'll sell thousands of these sets! Your Fathers works are unparalleled on the subject of the energy of the Human Soul and it's interactions with the body! Please, Please, Please!!! Follow up on this!!!
im so sorry to hear robert passed i only had one video call with him about 3 years ago his advise helped a lot and now i was just looking to book another consultation and saw this . life is too short.
Hi Jesse and all, this is CFTraveler. I was not able to log in with my old nic so I made a new entry with my 'civilian' name. I first met Robert back in 1999 before Astral Dynamics even existed- I was looking for answers to some problems I was having, and found Robert through (of all people) Whitley Strieber, thanks to an interview he did in which they talked about Astral Wind. After finding Robert and Brian, they helped me explain the problem and deal with it, and when the OG AD forum opened, I came along with it. I have worked with Robert for many years, and he was one of my most influential mentors, he taught me a lot, especially to not fear. I hadn't heard from him much (entirely my fault) so was surprised to read that he passed on, and will miss him dearly. He will always be around in my heart, and condolences to Jessy and Patricia, and the rest of the family that I haven't met. May he rest in peace.
I’ve never know Robert Bruce personally. But I have his books and have watched all his videos. I treasure all of his knowledge. He’s the only one that describes what I’ve been through with accuracy. Thank you -Jesse and Robert, for all that you’ve done and continue to do.
Unbelievable hard.
When first getting into this as a teenager back in the 90's I talked to Bruce on a forum(I forget which,maybe astral pulse) and found great resonance with his experience of experience for existence.
his dedication and bravery with these things i could not match and I left the entire thing after my own Kundalini awakening but coming back I found his work again to be a product of pure experience and not the fantasy that I encountered with so many occult or new age related topics.
I find it hard to believe he died, I really thought I would hear from him about his next great breakthrough and advancement toward his goals.
How can this have happened? did his higher self tell him anything,did he share anything? this makes no sense to me.
So sorry for your loss! Your father will be remembered for his great contribution to spiritual growth.
RIP Robert Bruce... Thank you for everything.
I found out about Robert in the late 90s by accident. I remember immediately getting OBE exit sensation after trying out NEW. I had lots of interesting experiences but just stopped when life got busy. Today when I was having a shower I thought about getting back into it and decided to head to see if Astral Dynamics is still around and was shocked to find out he had passed. I never knew Rob personally but he had a positive impact on my life.
This is sad news indeed. Robert's work inspired me to try astral projection that led me to my first OBE. This experience changed my view on life. I had the pleasure to meet with him back in 2011 at one of his workshops. We booked at the same villa by chance. I ended up spending 2 days with Robert along with Benjamin. At night at the villa Robert and Benjamin shared some stories on UFO's, 2012, werewolves as well as many others things. It's a memory I will always remember. Rest in peace Robert.
Thank you so much, both of you, for what you've done already! And for you, Jesse, to be committed to continuing the legacy of Astral Dynamics community and products.
For me, Robert just entered my life "with a thrust" yesterday, as I felt the sudden and unexpected urge to investigate his Kundalini course, and I was surprised to find out just now that he had passed away less than a month ago.
However, based on my personal direct experience, I am convinced that he was such an advanced soul and managed to get so much spiritual work done in this incarnation that his individuality was not dispersed after death and will live on in higher forms of life, simply becoming more in unity with his Higher Being.
I don't think it's an accident that I was suddenly attracted to this material after knowing about it for more than 15 years. Perhaps it was Robert who gave me a slight push to investigate the course.
I wish you, Jesse, all the best of life force and balance, may the force be with you as they say! I love you.
Very sorry to hear of Robert's passing. We corresponded for years. He was kind to me, and patient. A wonderful teacher and story teller. I regret not being able to see him when I was in Perth last year. I wish him well on his next journey and hope to chat again. My condolences to you and your family, Jesse.
I talked to Robert by email, we talked a lot, I still have her emails, my eyes filled with tears 😭
