Can anyone describe an Out of The Body experience, or a Near Death Experience, at FIRST HAND please?

Question

Or any other hallucinatory experience?

Answer 1

I have been very, very close to having an "out of body experience." It used to happen to me involuntarily when I was a little kid. I used to have to "force" myself back into my body whenever I could feel it happening, because the process was just so frightening that I didn't want anything of it. This usually happened at night when I was trying to sleep. I have no doubt that if I wanted to have one, I could do it, but I haven't been able to get over the fear aspect of it yet.

But I have known many people who HAVE had one, and you'd have a pretty tough time trying to convince them that it was just a "hallucinatory experience."

Answer 2

I can get to this point with auto relaxation and breathing synchronisation. I guess it is something natural on me as I had my first spontaneous experience when I was 4 y.o. Then after I have been doing it without any teaching. My first experiences were quite dramatic because I felt it was a near to death thing but then I understood that it was just a different sate of conscience. I have ready a few books about Tantra and Tao and they describe some similar exctasy situations

Answer 3

When I had my daughter a few years ago, I started bleeding uncontrolably. I was immediately put on a gurney and rushed down the hall. On the way to where ever I was being taken I blacked out. When I awoke I wasnt quite sure where I was, but I saw a male standing next to a female and another female on the other side of a surgical table with a patient. They were all wearing Hospital scrubs and gloves. This was a view from the top. I stayed there for a few moments, then I woke up the next day to find out I had immediate Surgery after delivery!

Answer 4

Both my best friends and also I have such experiences. they usually come when we're asleep. when you turn over in bed, you feel liek you've left somehting behind...it's a strange sensation. Other times, you're conscious but you cant move at all, no matter how hard you try. Those times, it's strange. I can hear, see and sense everthing that's going on on that floor of the house. After which I get pulledi nto darkness then i feel as if I'm falling fast. Again, I have to say it's a strange sensation. It feels liek eternity, but it actually takes place within a few seconds. then, I hit the ground hard...my astral body, I guess...snaps back into my body and it's realyl painful and shocking...crap I hate htose...

Answer 5

Near Death Experience. Just before last Xmas I was rushed unconscious into hospital with internal bleeding. Apparently I was 'brought back' 3 times in ER. That's near death and I remember nothing. No white light at the end of a tunnel, nothing.

Answer 6

This was during the time when I was possessed. I used a breathing technique which I later discovered was a Raja Yoga technique. I reached a point where I lost sensation in my body. The swrils of colour settled in my head until I saw a dark circular patch. I then felt myself rise and travel through the patch. The experience was very addictive.

Answer 7

Yes. I've answered this question or similiar a couple of times before. I'd like to repost it since you ask.

My only direct experience with a 'supernatural being' was in the form of sharing a moment of psychospiritual ecstacy caused by extreme pain and sensory overloading (intentionally caused, look up the word 'ecstacy', it doesn't necessarily just mean 'extreme joy') with Fenrir Wolf of nordic mythology in his aspect as Pack Alpha tending a deeply wounded omega (me). The experience was an eternity of hell in one sharp instant for me because of the truths I experienced... but it was the most spiritually significant event in my life, and made me feel whole in ways NOTHING ever did or has since, even with knowing that it was nothing more than an abnormal reaction in my brain brought on by endorphin overload and sensory overload.

Imagine being in the presence of the IDEAL. Not a divinity, but the very icon of the true core of your being, as if the truth of who you were was right there in front of you -- and you get, even if only for a moment... to be it.

When I came back to myself... which was literally a physical fight in and of itself, when I got to a safe place, I let loose a howl that has haunted me to this very day because even if I resolve the issues causing the pain I heard in that howl, I will still know it is possible for a person to HURT that much. Every way that Christians try to depict Hell absolutely PALES compared to the pain I heard in that howl.

I don't care if you believe it's the influence of the supernatural world, an unusual firing pattern of the neurons in the brain, or something between... it changes you forever.

Answer 8

I have 2.

When waiting in a small room I felt drowsy so I nodded off, in my "dream" I was looking down on myself, when I "woke" I got out of the room, three days later I read in a local paper that two people died in that room that afternoon. There was a leak and they had died of carbon monoxide poisoning.

The second time I was driving from Northern Ireland to Southern Ireland, after passing through the check point, about a hundred yards down the road there was a loud explosion, the IRA had planted a bomb and I missed it by 2 mins!

Lucky or jinxed? You tell me!

Answer 9

was at a gathering of The People and was concerned as my Lady was ill at her apartment. there were several who saw me get up in the middle of the night on three different occasions and yet I was still physically there. My Lady turned out fine but She knew I had been there to check on her condition.

Answer 10

When I was 11. I was laying on my bed, and I was in an extremely relaxed state of mind. My mind transitioned from me looking up at the ceiling, to me staring at myself on the bed. It has only happened once. No drugs I have taken to reproduce this has ever worked.
