I've had only two out of body experiences. Neither was tried for, they just spontaneously happened. The first I was 15 years old, and my parents had newly separated. I was living with my father and brother in a city flat, and my bed was a fold-out sofa in the livingroom. I awoke during the night and sensed a formidable presence enter in through the kitchen front door, that was adjacent to the livingroom. It came over to where I was laying, and I felt it sit beside me. The next thing I knew I was out of my body flying around the ceiling of our apartment, it seemed like 2-3 times. I'd been dispossessed, and whatever that spiritual presence was had taken over my body. After spinning around the ceiling of our apartment, I was let back into my body, and I sensed the spiritual presence get up from my bedside, leave the room and our house. I don't know who that spiritual entity was, or why it wanted to go inside my body while my own spirit was cast out, until I returned. That's something that has always mystified me to this day.
The second time I had what resembled a near death experience of my spirit leaving my body, occurred when I was 35. I was on cold medicine, getting over a winter bout of something, and barely able to sleep lying on my back in my room. All at once I saw a beautiful image of a pale yellow moon, tiny circle of light in a night sky, flanked by an image of two identical but barren, arching trees - the silhouette was breathtakingly beautiful as long as I concentrated on the moon. If I took my focus off of the moon the picture faded. So I kept looking at it, until I was suddenly enveloped inside a white light and was rushing somewhere. Then I came to a place where some angelic looking beings were inside a building, and one of them looked straight at me with a curious look on his face. He was cherubic with a golden bronze colored skin, curly hair, and wearing what looked like gym clothing. Then I turned and went into another large room where a man was standing over a table doing some kind of paperwork. He looked up at me and said, "What in the hell are you doing here?" I answered I didn't know, and that was a good question. (I didn't even know where "here" was.) When all at once I was turned around again, and went back through the whooshing white light and was then back in my body.
The man at the table looked very much like my late maternal grandfather. Only he was wearing dark glasses that covered his eyes. Later, after waking, I shared that experience with my dad and he said that was just like something my late grandfather would've said.
It felt like a near death experience. I was very glad it wasn't my time yet to go. One other thing that I recall as I was returned to my body was something like a computer program was running through my head taking an inventory of all the words I knew in my vocabulary. It was a lengthy list of words, but I was impressed that there were many more I needed to add to my vocabulary before my life was over.
Why vocabulary? God only knows. Maybe God is a scientist, and we are his subjects like little fishies in a petri dish being watched and monitored for signs of growth.
Whatever. I'm home today still recuping from the flu shot. I hope there are no more out of body experiences before my time is officially up. I'm not ready to meet my Maker, and I trust that heaven isn't ready for me yet either. :)
The white light that I entered into both parts of my journey on the second event were what is consistently described by near deathers as being inside a sense of pure love and peaceful tranquility. That's how it felt when I was inside of it. It had a very calming effect and all the cares of the world evaporated while I was in it.
