| OOBE (Out of Body Experience)
: is probably one of the most
reported and documented forms of astral
projection. It is thought to
be when a person's consciousness leaves the physical body. Out of
body experiences are often associated with accidents or anesthesia. An example of this is the case where
a patient on an operating table will report being able to see and hear the
entire operation including the surgeons, from a vantage point above the
table. Here the consciousness is said to have left the physical body, but
will remain close.
Another example of this kind of
projection, it is said, can occur when an accident abruptly halts the
physical body, with the non-physical body continuing on in the direction
it was going. This type of sudden halt projection is also believed to be
invoked by falling off a ladder, falling in the street, fainting, etc.
In these cases the projection of the
non-physical body is voluntary and not a conscious choice, and usually the
physical body is believed to be unconscious for the duration of the
experience. For more information see also, astral
projection.
