An out-of-body experience (or OBE, or OOBE) is characterized by subjective perception from a vantage point outside of one¹s physical body. It is sometimes associated with near-death experiences, hypnopompic or hypnagogic dreams, mystical trances or occult phenomena and psychoactive drugs.

An OBE may be contrasted with astral projection, which does not require the perception of... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (MsTee108) http://icpir.yuku.com/topic/7741 Thu, 26 Jun 2008 07:06:55 GMT http://icpir.yuku.com/topic/7635/t/REINCARNATION-Its-meaning-and-consequences-by-Ernest-Valea.html The concept of reincarnation seems to offer one of the most attractive explanations of humanity's origin and destiny. It is accepted not only by adherents of Eastern religions or New Age spirituality, but also by many who don't share such esoteric interests and convictions. To know that you lived many lives before this one and that there are many more to come is a very attractive perspective from which to judge the meaning of life.

Mine is Culloden in Scotland, the place where the masacre of the Scotts by the English ensured English rule for ever in Scotland. It's like a battlefield park today, and it makes me nausious to think about even.

The ability to see into the future is one of the most enigmatic areas of paranormality. To accept that it occurs we have to abandon our sense of now, and to accept a merging of all time, including the future, which rationally has not yet happened.
This, however, has not stopped a whole host of theories regarding the subject. From pseudoscholars, to philosophers, to scientists, the existence of a future has fascinated some of our cleverest minds.

I had a visit from a passed loved one in a dream and he told me that his life there was not much different from the one he'd just left.

I wonder if he's up there with a group of people who were like his friends on Earth and they hang out at the same types of places together and do the same type of work, etc.

If that's the case, then I wonder how and who decides when to go back to Earth and what sort of life to have.

Ever feel like you've been there, done that, and that the life you're living seems strangely familiar? Maybe a psychic has told you that you were once a great king or queen, or, at the very least, their eunuch. Perhaps a neurologist has told you that the dj vu that you're experiencing is just a trick of the mind.

If you manage to astral project, say, when you're asleep and something happens around your body, like someone making a noise or something which would normally disturb you, would this cause you to return to your body?
