Inspirational Quotes About
Out-of-Body Experiences (OBEs)
In my first totally conscious OBE, I answered for myself two of the
deepest questions a human being can ask himself: "Can I really exist
without my body and can my soul actually curse?" During the experience I
remembered the vibrations quickening in speed and raising in volume.
Fear had stopped me so many times before, but this time, I was ready.
The vibrations quickened to the point where it felt more natural to
leave my body than to stay in. I gave the okay to go and I was gone.
Immediately I found myself shooting out of my body and ended up five
feet over it. I must say that the first phrase that I ever uttered while
out of my body was not "this is one small step for me and one giant leap
for mankind." I just looked around in total awe, and when I realized
what was really happening, I yelled, "What the [expletive] am I doing up
here?" After that now infamous first phrase, I shot myself right back
and, with one big thump, re-entered my body and the experience was over.

So, overcoming fear was still very much a major part of the out of body
experience for me. Now, once again, I found myself in the meditative
state that allows for conscious OBEs and once again I had to fight the
fears which I now know are not real, but I had made them real because of
my belief in them. I again felt the vibrations in my body quickening. I
had read about this, but it was definitely very different to read about
it than to actually experience it physically. Not only was I feeling a
very real vibrational quickening inside my body, but there were also a
lot of strange and loud noises that accompanied this shift. I had read
that this was totally safe and I believed it, or so I thought. I kept
telling myself to keep it together, to stay strong, that it was all
right. I kept telling myself that all the fear I was experiencing was
simply an illusion I was creating. So I stayed on course, yet the
vibrations seemed to quicken and the noises got louder. It was literally
like an earthquake occurring inside my body, yet I somehow understood
that there was no physical movement occurring. I knew that my physical
body was completely still, and yet I felt I was traveling at 200 miles
per hour in a '72 Land Cruiser, on a bumpy dirt road, during an
earthquake measuring 9.0 on a Richter Scale.
I then felt like my spirit wanted to shoot out of my body. I kept
telling myself to keep it together, that I was creating all the fear I
was experiencing. I literally felt myself wanting to leave my body, and
that all I had to do was give the okay. The feeling was similar to
traveling in your car at a high rate of speed, sticking your hand out
the window, creating a cupping shape with your hand. You would feel
intense wind pressure against your hand, making you use the strength in
your arm to keep your hand upright. At some point there would be too
much pressure against your hand. That was how I felt-like I was
literally keeping myself inside my body, that all I had to do was to let
go, and I would have been released. At that point, it felt more natural
to leave my body than to stay in it.

Just as I finally got up the courage to let go to see what would happen,
I remembered that my mother was in the house. My first thought after
that was, what if the books that I read were wrong? What if I somehow
leave my body, and can't find my way back? What if I die and my mother
is the first one to find my lifeless body in my room? Death was really
not as big of a deal as my mother being the first to find my dead body.
Although I felt I had the courage to leave, I did not want having to
deal with my mother's pain on my conscience. At least that's the excuse
I used at that time. So there I was, ready to physically leave, but not
emotionally secure enough to let go and too worried about coming back. I
remember telling myself, "okay, if someone can guarantee me a ticket
back, I will be more than ready to leave." I then asked my spirit guides
to give me a sign that I would be okay, that it would be safe for me to
leave. Suddenly, at what seemed to be 50 yards above me, there appeared
a white bird, and behind the white bird there appeared to be the sun.
For a moment, I became mesmerized by the beauty and realism of this
scene. The white bird flew in a figure eight pattern, yet it stayed in
front of what I thought was the sun. It had the brightness of the sun
but it did not at all hurt my eyes. Then again, I was not using my
physical eyes to see this, but I could still "see" it. Although the bird
flew in a figure eight, the sun was always its background. I say
background, because I could always see the entire bird, and it always
seemed to fly in front of this bright light.
