OBE

[irishcream]

can someone please, please, define this for me? what is it, how does it happen, how do you know if you've had one? I was trying something the other night, sort of like a deep relaxation/hypnosis thing....and i definitely feel like i 'went somewhere' it wasn't like my SP this was very different, very intense. All i clearly remember is a colour, bluey green. Both times i got into this state, this is what i saw. So what the hell did i do?!

It did sound like SP to me...what you need to do at that color state is struggle as hard as you can, but don't break out of that state..I actually only do S**-*** in this way so I really don\'t know if it would work....

Hey irish...there is quite a bit of controversy about exactly what an OBE is an is not. It seems like alot of people here think they are having OBEs (I was one of them) when really they are more like fake-obes (or as Leo would say, an experience on the lower astral plane) where you sort of struggle out of SP and end up either walking about or floating about and it feels like it might be an OBE. Where as true OBEs can only occur in the deepest stages of sleep and consciousness. If you have had experience with the former fake OBEs as a result of SP then I would expect that you could tell the difference between that and what you have recently experienced. Perhaps what you have been doing has brought your mind into a deeper state of consiousness and allowed you to experience a higher astral plane...more like a real OBE. (and I'm not sure exactly what I do and do not believe about all this I'm pretty much relaying the info that I've read as it has pertained to my experiences so far) If you have anymore questions feel free to ask. I'm also interested to hear more about what it is exactly that you are doing to have these experiences?
