Out Of Body Experiences
Jerry Gross explains where astral projection or out-of-body experience can take us, and the amazing world that awaits us there.
Out of body experiences are those curious, and usually brief experiences in which a person’s consciousness seems to depart from his or her body, enabling observation of the world from a point of view other than that of the physical body and by means other than those of the physical senses.

An out-of-body experience , is an experience that typically involves a sensation of floating outside of one’s body and, in some cases, perceiving one’s physical body from a place outside one’s body.
As a well known out-of-body teacher and practitioner, he holds workshops on astral projection in the United States and abroad.
OBEs are often part of the near-death experience, and reportedly may also lead to astral projection.
OBE-like experiences have been induced by stimulation of the brain and by using cameras to fool the mind into thinking that the body is somewhere it is not.
OBEs have been induced by electrically stimulating the right angular gyrus.* Finally, some people experience an OBE when they are near death.
So powerful was their impact on his life that he founded Search and Prove, an organization dedicated to bringing the out-of-body experience to mass consciousness.
In this sense OBEs are better compared with lucid dreams, which are dreams in which the sleeper realizes, at the time, that he or she is dreaming.

Some of those who experience OBEs claimed to have willed themselves out of their bodies, while others report having found themselves being pulled from their bodies.
These are spiritual necklaces that take on a vibrational life of their own.
Lucid dreaming means dreaming while you know that you are dreaming, and when you know you are dreaming within a dream you can also alter the dream course, with practice you can also develop full control over your dreams.
Some articles have questioned whether the experiences are of an hallucinatory nature or purely a function of biochemical processes that occur in the brain, and, at the other extreme, some have linked them with notions of the existence of an immortal soul and other ideas generally associated with religious interpretations of human existence.
Theosophical ideas have influenced the thinking and terminology of many OBE researchers since many people reporting OBEs have found terms like ‘astral projection’ which derive from Theosophy to be useful in describing their experiences.
Most readers are intrigued by the thought of being able to have and control OBEs, and see them as a potentially interesting experience, though some smaller number of people taking part in discussions are interested in trying to figure out their nature and function and their possible implications for the understanding of what it means to be fully human.

If minds were leaving bodies, one would expect that there would be minds out of their bodies everywhere.
Challenges the research by some scientists that claims OBEs can be triggered by stimulus to the brain and therefore are not actual experiences.
In some cases the phenomenon appears to occur spontaneously; in others it is associated with a physical or mental trauma, use of psychedelic drugs, dissociative drugs, or a dream-like state.
We are preparing for a major shift in our consciousness, this article says, and lucid dreaming is a technique that can help us prepare for the coming shift.
The experience also occurred during a period of her life when sleep deprivation was common for her.
Unless, of course, he is teaching one of his many classes and workshops on astral projection, also known as OOBE or out-of-body experience.
One explanation of the OBE is that consciousness is a separate entity from the body and can exist without the body and the body without it.
An OBE is also compared and contrasted with dreams, lucid dreams, astral projection, and autoscopy.

In the undeveloped person, little memory is retained and the astral body is vague and its travels are limited and directionless, but in the trained person the astral can be controlled, can travel great distances in sleep, and can even be projected from the physical body at will.
The mind has abilities that go beyond the five senses of the physical world.
