A Look into Out of Body Experiences

“Answers to the important questions of our existence can be experienced and answered during out-of-body experiences. What are we? Were do we go at death? Where did we come from? What is our purpose? During an out-of-body experience you go beyond beliefs and experience your immortality. Many people receive profound insights concerning the nature of reality, the existence of past lives. Some people even explore the multidimensional universe and the time line. Most importantly, people report profound spiritual experiences and even self realization,” says William Buhlman, who has been practicing astral projection for more than 30 years. 

Out-of-Body experiences, or OBEs, involve the spiritual body temporarily separating from the physical. Some, including Buhlman, claim they are able to produce the experience through continued practice. Buhlman has published two books on the subject. He has also appeared on the television show Sightings and on the radio talk show, Coast to Coast AM. 

In his book Adventures Beyond the Body, Buhlman describes his first OBE, which occurred in 1972, when Buhlman was 21 years old. After having a strange dream, he awoke to find himself outside his body. “Extending my arm, I reached for the wall in front of me. I stared in amazement as my hand actually entered the wall; I could feel the vibrational energy of it as if I was touching its very molecular structure. Only then did the overwhelming reality hit me, My God, I’m not in my body.” 

Although the subject might be difficult to grasp, the commonalities between individuals who have experienced OBEs with no relation to one another is hard to ignore. According to the results of Bulhman’s survey, 85 percent of reported hearing sounds “such as buzzing, humming or roaring” (known as “vibrations”) prior to having an out-of-body experience, 98 percent felt as though they were being jolted awake, and 72 percent experienced sleep paralysis. Bulhman says people can verify the validity of OBEs through personal experience.
