True Stories On Out-Of-Body Experiences, The Devil And Religion

Hey guys,

I've discovered this site with some pretty awesome stories on Astral Projection and OBEs. I like how each experience differs from the next and the more I read about it, the more I can relate to their experiences.

One of my favorites is the story called 'My Son's OBEs'. It's incredible how children can experience OBE at will and how sad it is if we adults stop this ability they have simply because we don't understand it.

Out-of-Body Experiences

from www.beyondreligion.com

Two thousand years ago, St. Paul wrote, in I Cor. 15:44, "There is, of course a physical body, so there has to be a spiritual body." (TEV). He describes an event (undoubtedly his own experience) in II Cor. 12:2 which convinced him of the truth of that statement: "I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven-whether in the body or out of the body I do not know." (RSV)

Today, in addition to our religious beliefs, we also have clinical evidence that we are a soul/body mixture and that, under certain circumstanes, the two can be separated without any negative effect on our consciousness. There is a large body of literature which documents the fact that trauma or clinical death can loosen the bond between our two dimensions so that they separate. This phenomenon is called the Near-Death Experience.

Out-of-Body Experiences are similar, but distinct in one important way. They do not require a trauma or the approach of death to trigger them. They can be spontaneous or even willed to happen. Robert A. Monroe, perhaps the most influential writer in this field and author of Journeys Out Of The Body, founded the Monroe Institute of Applied Sciences in Afton, VA in 1973. Among other things, he developed a technique through which he could teach people to go out-of-body at will.
