Yanked Out of Body
Most of my OBEs have been pretty boring, believe it or not. Still, some OBEs have stuck with me through the years. One experience that I keep coming back to happened the morning of May 25th, 2006, when I was 23 years old.
What Is The Soul?
In a previous post, I outlined what I feel is the most compelling evidence that the soul doesn’t exist. Now, let’s back up and explore the idea of the soul from a different perspective. If we did have a soul, how could it operate, and still be consistent with the facts we see?
What does a typical out of body experience feel like?
I decide I want to have an out of body experience. This post is an amalgamation of common things I experience, but not exhaustive. This is typical for the night – my experiences in the morning have a different structure.
Evidence Against the Soul
Given that I regularly have out of body experiences, it would make sense that I believe in a soul. Reality is more complicated than that though. It’s important to study the facts, even if they’re contradictory and don’t paint a clear picture.
Are we trapped in a Prison Planet?
There is an hypothesis in UFO lore that we are souls trapped on Earth, in a cycle of reincarnation, against our will. This is called the Prison Planet hypothesis. Can I find anything in my own life that bears a resemblance to the Prison Planet?
What if higher intelligent beings exist?
I don’t have proof that higher intelligent beings exist, but I think it’s an interesting thought experiment, which even the most ardent skeptic must address due to the advances in AI. How will the world look when we are no longer #1?
Are Out of Body Experiences Real?
I used to be obsessed with this question. But OBEs are weird, and don’t fit neatly into our understanding of reality. Here’s how I was able to move past this question.
Warm Hug Experience
I started to perceive that a non-human intelligence was helping me or watching me out of body. I didn’t see anything, but I started to freak out a little bit.
Surfing Altered States of Consciousness
Everyone experiences altered states of consciousness. You might not realize it, but when you fall asleep, you pass through many different states. With practice, you can watch yourself fall asleep, and explore your own mind in the process.
Journeys Out of the Body
I started having out of body experiences when I was 16. I’m now 40 years old, and have been having them my entire life.
