There is very little in the wild and wacky world of paranormal research that’s MORE important than understanding what happens during out of body experiences.
The KEY, in some sense… to understand what we are, and where we’re going after this life is over, MAY rest in OBE research as well.
Why do I make an experience that some skeptics believe is a total fabrication to be so incredibly important?
Very simple.
Because if consciousness can exist outside of the body, and can actually move around and about without being “localized” in the brain, it opens up a wide and wonderful window into a whole series of other possibilities that are impossible to ignore.
Such as?
That when we die… that same consciousness continues, the very same way as it did during the OBE, without needing the body to keep it alive.
In other words, in the view of many cutting edge scientists who study consciousness, the validity of out of body experiences may be the key to understanding the human “spirit” altogether.
How do you tell if your OBE was real, or not the byproduct of a brain blip, or a lucid dream, or a drug or chemical reaction or even a simple hallucination?
Very simple. And you do this in a few ways.
1 – Document the Details. When you have an OBE, try to be incredibly aware of things happening around you. Make mental notes of things you see, details that you KNOW if later validated will prove the authenticity of the experience. (and prove it was NOT an imaginary event)
As a matter of fact, right now… in 2012, there is a MAJOR study being conducted in hospitals around the world called AWARE. Essentially, emergency room doctors are interviewing patients who were “brought back” after they have cardiac arrest to see if they’ve seen special items placed in the ER ward that are NOT visible on the ground level, and only would be seen if those who report an OBE were in the parts of the room they remember being. (usually the ceiling!)
2 – Don’t use artificial means to induce an OBE
Drugs or even alcohol may stimulate an out of body experience, but it adds a layer of trouble when it comes to validation. Many people disagree with me here, and think that chemically induced OBE’s are a great method for exploration, but personally…..after studying many reports and having several of my own, I think au natural is the way to go if you are serious about studying the astral realms.
3 – Change Your Definition of What is “REAL”
I’m writing this article right now, and I know that it’s real. I’m not dreaming, or imagining it. I’ve had many OBE’s that have been as clear as this moment I’m sharing with you right now, so why would I believe those events are LESS real than this one?
Truthfully? Most OBE’s are reported as being MORE real than real… and the word “hyper-real” is often used. I agree… and unless you’ve experienced it yourself, it’s hard to understand until you do!
