Out of body experiences

Hi
My personal out of body experiences has led me to question both the scientific and alternative theories put forward
There are many to research obviously & my journey so far has led me to believe that an OBE is a connection with the parallel universe or the "multiverse"
Einstein's theory of relativity gave us a platform to explore other concepts concerning the fabric of the universe & Science is EXPLORING all & everything
Check out The Elegant Universe for compelling viewing
I believe that certain individuals are able to spontaneously or at will connect with the multiverse and "travel" back or forward in time & space.
Fact: I have travelled to places and reported on my findings to check out the facts. e.g. a friend of mind journeyed to America. I "visited" by "astral travelling" and described the hotel room he stayed in, what he was wearing and doing at a particular time - all checked out OK!
Fact: I can, at will travel using this method
Fact: I have actually spontaneously travelled too but cannot explain why these episodes have manifested themselves
Interestingly I have also experienced a "near death obe" too! so that has led me to consider whether one experiences the whole list of possible obes or none at all?
Those who meditate will understand the concept of "Astral projection" and although this term has been called a pseudoscience by Carl Sagan and crackpot science by James Randi, those who have experienced this will strongly disagree.
I state this claim also based on evidence concerning my "useless" ability to be able to enter a building or location and see the fabric of the building or land as it was many years before, in some instances centuries before! This ability is uncanny as I have no sense of direction whatsoever and get lost outside the supermarket looking for my car! Perhaps this is natures way of having laugh!!
Anyone else experienced something similar?
Love to hear your thoughts on this one!

OBE Out of body experiences

Hi
A recent personal experience and then a post on our forum has led to this impromptu posting!
Recent personal events have "played havoc" with my mind, my body and my Psychi. I mention this because obviously scientifically, if one is experiencing difficulties then that can be offered as the reason for "paranormal" episodes of any kind! A psychologist, within this context, would easily explain MOST unexplained, unusual happenings as due to stress.
I continue, never the less, as I believe my experience was a true psychic episode and an actual out of body experience!
I was asleep and woke up suddenly due to a noise I thought I heard. After getting out of bed to check what the noise was, I staggered downstairs and walked into the kitchen. A man was standing holding a knife in the centre of the room. After the shock had subsided, which seemed like hours, I managed to ask him who he was and what he wanted. He did not answer and appeared unable to move from the position he was in. I then shouted my husband who was asleep upstairs, whilst keeping my eyes pinned on the guy. To my horror my husband did not come to my rescue and to my utter surprise I picked up a knife from the kitchen counter and ran upstairs!
I shouted to my husband again and he did not stir. I thought for one dreadful minute that he had been killed, but my dread turned to utter cold, bitter, stunned amazement as I noticed a body lying next to him! - The body was mine!!!
Suddenly as soon as I realised that my body was in bed I experienced an extreme force that pushed me into the bed and I guess back into my body. Gasping for breath I then awoke ( again)!
"What a nightmare I thought" and got up to get a drink of water. As I returned to bed some moments later the hairs stood up on the back of my neck and I felt the blood drain from my face as I found the knife lying on the floor.
Now make of this what you will. Dream state, sleep-walking or OBE

Hi
Although this blog contains various popular articles that I personally find interesting you may be surprised to know that I also keep as up to date as possible with all scientific views on what we psychics get up to!
To quote C.G.Jung "I shall not commit the fashionable stupidity of regarding everything I cannot explain as a fraud."
I also have a great interest in philosphy and thought i'd post some intersting reading
