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…

About the book:

As a believer in the existence and immortality of a human spirit, I begin the book introducing this concept using personal experiences. I also use fictional illustrations for readers to visualize the process by which a near-death experience (NDE) happens. As scientific experiments are reliable evidence of a variety of phenomena, I resort to such experiments conducted by reputable academic intuitions which further verify the existence of a non-material, non-physically focused portion of human nature. I also use scientific evidence that defies the conventional scientific paradigm that consciousness is a by-product of the brain, which further verifies that NDE is a phenomenon occurring outside, not inside the brain of the patient.
I further support the existence of a spirit body that is whole and capable of seeing independently of the physical body examining evidence of NDE experienced by the visually impaired, several blind from birth.
Suicide and drug abuse are two sources of pain to many people around the world. Such people undergoing NDE due to suicide attempts and drug overdose, normally of a negative nature, learned invaluable lessons and made drastic positive changes in their lives. I use such examples to inspire people not to follow this self-destructive route for their own good and that of their loved ones. Cases of children who had a brush with death and had a near-death experience is also explored, as well the positive changes that ensued in their lives.
The main message of this work is that we are immortal beings temporarily experiencing physical life. And as I say in the book, “…our consciousness, our identity, the I which we truly are, is not enclosed in the brain like a bird in a cage, and when the cage is destroyed the bird dies. The extreme opposite is true! When the cage is destroyed the bird is free. We, the spiritual force we truly are, can and will function independently of the brain and the body, and will—we will!—survive bodily death.”

Welcome

Welcome to my blog.  Thank you for visiting. We'll be talking here about paranormal phenomena such as dreams, out-of-body experiences, near-death experiences, deathbed visions, reincarnation and life after death, because I don’t believe we are immortal—I know we are.
