I've have 1 OBE due to a psychedelic drug. They called it "7H incense" and sold it in gas stations a few years back. I was 19 and figured... "Oh, it's fake weed, so I'm going to smoke a lot of it to be sure I get high." Little did I know that 3 minutes after smoking it, I would begin to have an OBE lasting 45 minutes.

I wish that I could achieve OBE, by deep mediation, but I can't. Once I'm about to leave my body, I fear that "jump or jolt" and snap out of it.

Haha. It seems like you, needing piles and piles of things. LOL. I could talk peace ALL day.

My fears consisted of death and fear of the unknown. I didn't know what was happening and I thought that I was dying.

That's interesting. And good you survived whatever that shit was - bathsalts? 😏

I wonder if that could have an effect on you wanting/deciding to go over again. I've done a lot of mind-alteration, including hallucinations. Never took me there, though.

@Infinity: I don't know where you get the idea that time is an illusion. If it were then what's the point of history, or calendars, or even something like a watch. I think it's more proper to say that it's an illusion to think that time is an illusion. Human existence proves that time is very real.

I'm sorry, but for energy to exist certain elements have to be in place for it to exist and be released. Energy is not an entity capable of self creation. To say it is of it's own origins makes no more sense than to say you and I are of our own origins.

Is time actual realities of the physical world or artificial constructs of human mentality?

Big Bang, Big Crunch.... Expansion, Compression.

Energy is not an entity capable of self creation, nothing is BECAUSE, energy cannot be created. As this energy expands, it will eventually reach a point of compressing (returning to the source), where it will be as BEFORE a giant ball of universal energy. What happens next? EXPANSION, AGAIN.

All elements are located within the source.

Now, you're trying to be argumentative.

Please understand that the "spiritual reality", cannot be understood/explained in "physical terms" right now. The human race is more concerned about, "A New Millipede Species having 414 Legs and 4 Penises". The end of the human race will arrive before we obtain physical/factual evidence on this subject.

-Boundlessness

Time existed before humans appeared on this planet. So much for artificial constructs.
You're right - energy is not an entity capable of self creation, therefore it could not have appeared of its own volition. There wasn't a vacuum and then - poof - energy suddenly appeared. Therefore it had to come from somewhere - be created - and put into motion.

I'm not being argumentative, I'm just asking some practical questions about your statements. You're making your declarations sound as if they are beyond reproof, when in fact they are not. You have no authoritative proof for your beliefs - just your assertion that these things are so and are not open to debate.

Thought provoking is my job.
I do it for you guys! :)

@Infinity: You're sweet.

Powerful psychedelic that all living organisms produce naturally. This substance can be extracted out of plants and used as a drug.
