Out of body experience anyone?

Question

Tell me about yours. And be truthful and don't exagerate.

Answer 1

Most do it all the time - except they brush it off as flying and/or falling dreams. I have done it many times and remembered. The consciousness separating and moving out of coincidence with the physical body - it floats up first horizontally and then the astral body turns vertical. One sees his own comatose and paralyzed body down below or from whatever angle. All matter becomes transparent.... that is, walls, floors etc become transparent and represent no obstacles when passing through. The action of the will is instantaneous. One wants to fly high into the sky.... it is done. One sees people moving around on almost invisible floors in transparent rooms.

There is always a certain pull there towards the physical body. That pull is by the so-called silver cord which keeps the physical body alive entering the head. Any fear or confusion makes one slam back into the body with a bang... It is an unpleasant feeling like a big spring vibrating. Then the paralysis ends and one can move again. An experienced astral traveller never has that problem.

One meets other astral travelers when "out there". There are also negative enteties which try to get at you and have evil intent. They may be of one's own creation which try to get back at their creator for having put them there in a climate of misery. Proper preparedness and spiritual protection is advised. There is so much to say - but I will leave it at that.

It is not advisable to stay out or "away" for more than let's say three or four days. Once the silver cord snaps - there is instant death to the physical body and one is left roaming the astral plane.

Answer 2

During meditation, one can be totally oblivious to the physical body. After experiencin high state of consciousness, one can forget that one even has a body.

To me the body is a physical infomation receiver for the enviornment in which we live. Its purpose to expand our awareness of all that is.

Answer 3

I have no experience which can be strictly called out of body experience. But during meditation, as taught to us in Ramashram Satsang, Mathura, India, we lose the feeling of having a body. it is a state of bliss, or lack of any consciousness, or bliss plus heightened level of consciousness depending on the state of meditation one is in.
