   while this is true there is much they do not know which pagans have already explored. one can experience OBE’s (Out of Body Experience) at one’s own will it is your own command though one must train and meditate for a while (basic training) well, atleast for months before being able to conduct a successful complete OBE. When you want to reenter your body you picture your body and that you are once again joining as one. You really have to be careful when you are out of your body. you can get attacked…well your spirit. So remember not to go on high astral planes right away. there are many things you can do when your not in a physical body. For one you can teleport to someplace, well if you know the place or are seeking someone specific. ALWAYS wear a pentacle or silver or cast some ward before attempting anything involving spirits

   I recently had an obe. I was not intending for it to happen although it happened when i was extremely fatigued and in a very stressful emotional period. When i recall the event i remember feeling as if i were totally awake but yet when it was over i had not moved from my position in bed. My initial reaction was excitement from realising i could fly or float and relished in this for what seemed like a minute until i suddenly realised the reality of it at which point i started to fall from the ceiling gradually. I did also feel terrified at this point that i might be dieing which was when i returned to my body. Upon awaking i felt extremely tired and could not move a muscle. The whole experience drained me but left me feeling quite frightened. The only thing that i think induced this experience was a) the fatigue i was under and b) i had recently been using a meditation cd in the weeks prior to the event. I would love to hear what benefit there is to having an obe if anyone else has experienced something similar.

   Not only Pagans, Crystal, but normal folk as well.

   It’s nice to see the scientific community taking a serious interest in something many of us have known and experienced for years. However, some things shouldn’t be analyzed (and I’m sure they’ll do it to death), but just accepted for what it is; something anyone can do, given enough will, preparation and concentration.

   All these findings which help understand how the brain works, in altered states of consciousness, may shed some light on certain functions but do not explain how people who have had OOB or near-death experiences can perceive what is happening at a distance, well beyond the ability of regular senses.

   It seems that some people are in a rush to find a theory that will sweep “paranormal” phenomena under the rug, as they haven’t accounted for all of the reported phenomenon during OOB.

   Yet they seem to claim victory: OOB mere hallucinations, we can prove it!
   At least that seems to be the underlying tone of this article.

   Maybe SOME of them are, but not all.

   I know from personal experiences that very vivid hallucinations- and sensory illusions can be produced, even at will during deep stages of relaxation and other states of mind and body.

   But genuine ESP or other very definitely have a basis in reality one has merely to research the literature.

   Yep, I have had an OBE as well. For me it was a lot of fun. Good times.

   I think it is healthy for the brain to have a solid ability to make fantasy reality– even if it is not part of everyone else’s reality. I believe if we want any hope of living something new, we have to first get our minds in the direction of it. Eventually, we will leave the old reality behind.

   Seems simple enough.

   I have often experienced very real dreams in which I get out of bed, use the toilet, brush my teeth, and start eating breakfast, after which my alarm clock rings and I feel jerked back into bed.
