Out-Of-Body Experiences and Lucid Dreams. [From NIGHTLIGHT 3(2-3), 1991, Copyright, The Lucidity Institute.] ======================================================================== OTHER WORLDS: OUT-OF-BODY EXPERIENCES AND LUCID DREAMS by Lynne Levitan and Stephen LaBerge, Ph.D. ======================================================================== "Out of body" experiences (OBEs) are personal experiences during which people feel as if they are perceiving the physical world from a location outside of their physical bodies. At least 5 and perhaps as many as 35 of every 100 people have had an OBE at least once in their lives (Blackmore, 1982). OBEs are highly arousing; they can be either deeply disturbing or profoundly moving. Understanding the nature of this widespread and potent experience would no doubt help us better understand the experience of being alive and human.

The following is the only waking description of his journey in the trance state, taken verbatim from comments he made at a public lecture. Within his descriptions I have tagged corresponding elements to the NDE: "I see myself as a tiny dot out of my physical body, which lies inert before me. " [out-of-body]Â [orbs] "I find myself oppressed by darkness and there is a feeling of terrific loneliness. " [the void] "Suddenly, I am conscious of a white beam of light, knowing that I must follow it or be lost. " "As I move along this path of light I gradually become conscious of various levels upon which there is movement. " "Upon the first levels there are vague, horrible shapes, grotesque forms such as one sees in nightmares. " "Passing on, there begins to appear on either side misshapen forms of human beings with some part of the body magnified. " "Again there is change and I become conscious of gray-hooded forms moving downward.

January 14, 2013 “...as I turned the corner into the square and saw the workers still struggling with the tree, I felt elated. In many ways it was a mundane experience with no great significance to it, and yet there it was again—a simple confirmation that our perceptions may not be limited to the realm of our physical senses, that there is more to consciousness than what the dominant paradigm suggests.”
From the Journal of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, Noetic.org. By Graham Nicholls “Nicholls is a British author of two books on out-of-body experiences, which he has explored for nearly 25 years. He has also developed his own technology and techniques for inducing out-of-body states. He has lectured at venues including Cambridge University, The London College of Spirituality, and the London Science Museum, and has been widely featured in the media.”

Out-of-body experience. Artist's depiction of the separation stage of an out-of-body experience, which often precedes free movement An out-of-body experience (OBE or sometimes OOBE) is an experience that typically involves a sensation of floating outside one's body and, in some cases, perceiving one's physical body from a place outside one's body (autoscopy). The term out-of-body experience was introduced in 1943 by George N. M. Tyrrell in his book Apparitions,[1] and was adopted by researchers such as Celia Green[2] and Robert Monroe[3] as an alternative to belief-centric labels such as "astral projection", "soul travel", or "spirit walking". OBEs can be induced by brain traumas, sensory deprivation, near-death experiences, dissociative and psychedelic drugs, dehydration, sleep, and electrical stimulation of the brain,[4] among others.

Second Body & Locale II. Who Is Robert Monroe? TITLE: Who Is Robert Monroe? AUTHOR: Duv Robert Monroe, founder of the Monroe Mind Research Institute in Virginia, began studying altered states of consciousness in 1958. At that time, Monroe was a succesful businessman, having graduated from Ohio State University with a degree in engineering, and a second one in journalism.
As an executive of a radio station, Monroe led a busy and normal life. That same year Monroe began studying what happens to consciousness while the body is asleep. His first experiments consisted of listening to tapes that contained various types and combinations of sounds. In his first book, Monroe describes an oobe as, "1. As he began his work, Monroe started experiencing a particular altered state of consciousness. Throught the first book characteristics of the second body become more apparent. The sense of touch is also present in the second body, and it operates much in the same way as it does in the physical body. . © Duv All rights reserved. Out of Body Experience. Astral Dynamics | About Robert Bruce. Personal Story When I discovered spirituality in my childhood, there were no books on the subject readily available to me. There was no Amazon.com, online websites, or internet forums for chatting. I was on my own, except for the occasional meditation circle in a local city.
The truth is, I was desperate to learn anything for a long period of time. In a sense, this was a gift, because it forced me to develop my psychic abilities through independent hard work. In fact, I invented all my own techniques for skills like astral projection, energy work, kundalini activation and aura viewing. The lack of information out there enabled me to avoid "analysis paralysis" and get right to the core of the evolutionary process, so I could immediately start accessing the Greater Reality.
