LOL - So many idiots out there.
Wrong. If you buy into the woooooo, your social connections change and you find others who support your inane ideas, and down the rabbit hole you go. It’s a lot like filling your brain with JW religious indoctrination. And the better you get at it the more power and prestige you have through convincing others.
I have been doing OBE since I was a teen. It’s a simple brain state. All it requires is that you stay conscious while your body goes to sleep. Your body naturally goes to sleep every night. By “go to sleep” I mean separates from the brain. (Obviously autonomic functions continue working throughout our sleep; however, I have experienced apnea.) Entire cultures once knew how to do this. It’s a human thing.
It takes you nonplace. There is no astral body outside of my own brain. There is no magic involved. There is nothing “spiritual” about the experience. It is something any human being can do, hence, the ease with which people are duped into the magical thinking cycle of belief. It is actually something that happens to the human body and brain. If it were not, you would not have believers in all the woo.
Anyone can teach themselves to do this in a couple of months.
