What is an out-of-body experience?


Out-of-body experience (OBE), aka astral projection, astral travel, projection of consciousness etc

As the term implies, it is the experience of a person to leave the physical body momentarily and function independently of it.  Most commonly it happens in two circumstances: During sleep or when the body is deeply relaxed, and during a brush with death –NDE.  (NDE is the topic of my upcoming book The End of Death-How Near-death Experiences Prove the Afterlife) but will also discuss this extraordinary phenomenon later on in this blog.
I also consider it to be an OBE the experience of bodily death, but in this case it will be a permanent one, well, semi-permanent I should say, until our next incarnation.
A full-blown out-of-body experience is characterized by the following events: a generalized inner vibration called the Vibrational state in astral projection lingo; the Withdrawal of this vital energy starting at the toes, moving up and concentrating in the head; a feeling that this energy concentrated in the head wants to eject; the exit of this energy from the physical body culminating in an OBE proper; Awareness that one still has a body not unlike the physical counterpart, though of a subtle nature; and most importantly, that one’s entire cognitive abilities have been transferred to this new body. That is, when a person is conscious of being out of the physical body, she or he will notice that the locus of consciousness or field of thinking is no longer in the physical head or brain as it was before one’s exit from the physical body, but it is fully in the astral or spirit body.

Stay tuned for more on OBE, including signs that you’re having or have had one…
