OBE's

I have been having OBE since 1994. The first one was really out of this world literally. I just felt my whole body vibrating intensely, and then after a few seconds, I came out of my crown chakra. I felt like I became something like light traveling in space, flying into our solar system on my way to earth, seeing the different planets along the way, and hitting the ocean on my entry into earth, and that's when I came back to my body.

Tha's basically one type of OBE that I experience, which involves vibration of my body. The other type is more like a lucid dream, ie. I become aware once inside my dream.

Thanks for starting this thread....a great topic!

I have had a couple of more 'standard' concious awake OBE's mainly when i was a teenager....the other one was sooo wild it still shocks me even a few years after it happened! has anyone ever experienced hoping into someone elses body?? I know..it sounds crazy to the average person...but it is possible!

I have always been fascinated with shamens ..epecially the indiginous shamens of south america/mayans/toltec tradition...and have read carlos casteneda... their explanations as to how a person can do seemingly magical things makes sense...but I still have no real idea how this happened to me...but the other person I 'swapped with' was also aware of what happpened and contacted me the next day to let me know....I was in total shock as i convinced myself i must have hallucinated the whole experience!

would love to hear from others that this may have happened to!

I had not slept for many hours this night. We where around fifty wanderers that had sought shelter at the mountain cabin. It was hot, humid and packed with people and equipment.
The man next to me had, however, no sleeping problems at all. In fact he was snoring...no, not snoring, he was sounding like he was a Boeing 747 with bad astma and on trottle up...
After hours and hours I was drifting between a state of surrender and sleep and complete catatonic mind.

Suddenly: I realized that I was no longer in my sleeping bag, but a few decimeters above it. Unable to move. But very calm. Just drifting slowly.

*** KABOOOM!!!***

I was pulled violently out through the window and away from the Swedish mountains, the vision blurred for a short while and then...

...And then I was rather calmly flying over a landscape of softly modelled hills, grass, bushes and a few white plastered houses with tiles on their roofs. Just flying. Still. No thoughts. Calmness in mind. Something (someone?) in my head told me / let me understand that this was southern France (where I have never been yet).

The experience was extremely real and detailed.

But, after a while I suddenly realized the most extraordinary fact that I wasn't just seeing the way I was used to, that is, one stereoscopic image, but rather experiencing four (4!) completely different views - In the same time!
The closest metaphor I can imagine is that it was very close to the Mars Rover images; I saw a front view, a left view, a right view and a most fantastic zoomed in front view (round; every straw of grass was clearly visible, every flower, bees and butterflies)- IN THE SAME TIME! And I could sense these four images paralell, equally intence. I mean, fully awake there is not way I could perceive more than one image at the same time...now it was no less than four. Like having 8 eyes and at least 4 brains hooked up in a small network.

Needless. After some time I became rather excited and the thoughts came back to me. And rather soon as my thoughts went into words, this amazing experience began to fade...

It was like I had been strung into a spring - I was hurled back. Back to my sleeping body in the sleeping bag in the cabin. And so it was over.

This was the most vivid, the most real out of body experience ever. Not at all discrete as many other lucid dreaming experiences I have had. Not filled with "noise" as the Remote Viewing sessions I hove been doing, but fully awake and extremely real! I really, really wish to come back to this state again...

Can one trully leave the body with his mind? I cant say... so thats what makes it real i guess...

I in no way have anything against anyone but i hope we as humanity can sort the real from illusion... This stuff makes it quite hard...

Peace!

Great responses from everyone so far! Nice to see some of you sharing your actual OBE’s as well. For you folks, what do you think about sharing your interpretations on what they might mean, or how they might relate or benefit society, etc?

BTW: Just so everyone has some idea of where I’m coming from, I am experienced at OBE’s (although I have a long way to go) and I am also well studied on the topic.

Ok, let me address some comments which were made so far.

“I AM” broached an important observation about how people when working collectively together (even with mere intention) can get things accomplished. I wholeheartedly agree. For example, I believe through the years Art Bell (Coast to Coast A.M.) has effectively shown that when he gets all of his radio listeners to focus on a specific objective that it does affect change.

However, the above observation is different than the comment I made about people occupying their life with things beyond their control. I was speaking more about people (including me) who get caught up disproportionally in merely the entertainment or shock value of things.

BTW: 360˚ vision is quite normal in OBE’s.

“JohnWdoe” brings up a great issue. That is, how do we know the difference between illusionary or reality based OBE’s.

First let me say that I am of the opinion that everything is REAL, (whether it is subjective or objective based), if for no other reason than it EXIST.

The question is therefore not if the experiences are Real, but how do OBE’s relate to what individuals perceive as Real. And for most I imagine this means reality according to physical 3D. Again, a great question, but it can be rather involved.

For brevity sake let me say that there are OBE’s that can be mainly subjective (phenomenon which is a projection of one’s unfocused mind) and there are OBE’s which can be substantiated physically; such as having a friend place an object on a table at their home and you OBE to determine what that object is.

Ultimately distinguishing which type of OBE you have takes a bit of practice. Suffice to say, only through training ones consciousness to be lucid and alert in the now-to-now moment of life on a consistent bases (whether awake or asleep) will you be able to gain greater Reality based OBE’s.

And as I have observed here’s an interesting twist. When doing consciousness training your OBE skills will improve and there is virtually no limit to what you can witness and do on multi-dimensions. But the so-called “immoral tendencies” to take advantage of others or society through covert spying, predicting lotto numbers, voyeurism, etc, will disappear proportional to the degree you developed your conscious awareness.

So before you have an OBE your whole body vibrates? that's funny I almost had one once...I might have been pushing myself hard but this healer was trying to scare me into thinking that I could have died from that(body shacking heart attack basically)...I for one am not afraid of death. If i were to die then it would be my time to go no fear at all. Not only that but I think the reason I was born in this era is for making the "real change possible".

Thats not an option impossible to die.
You firstly have to remember although you will feel vibrational sensation acting on the physical body, the violent natured sensations some people have whilst inducing an OBE will be purely of the energetic level.

Simply anyone seeing you physical body, you'd look peaceful and still to them. where as the energetic sensation you will be feeling many be far from still.

Easy way to think of it is that you naturally OBE every night when you enter dream states. And no ones worried about dieing by falling unconciouss into the dream state. The point being that your keeping focus on the processes of your body falling to sleep (heavy body feeling) whilst your mind is clear and focused on the sensations (energetic vibrations) you would otherwise not notice due to your mind falling asleep along with the body.

Lack of research and first hand experience on the "healers" part.

Your safe . . . nothing to fear . . . remember that and enjoy the ride. That fact you have felt the first stages of inducing a OBE yourself is excellent start.

Patience plays a great part here. . . stick with it!
