What I'm going to share is from my own personal experience and not intended to be good advice; rather, just sharing what is possible?

I've been out of body but not away from this current physical body. The inside self is me, actually all the identities I've ever been or will be are this inside me. Most of my OBEs have happened because of great trauma to my physical body. Suffice it to say that this has been an extremely difficult physical existence marked by 60+ years of physical and mental abuse by the outside forces of this current reality, and I've had an easy life compared to so many others that I've known and seen throughout this lifetime. This is not a reality that will be known as a friendly place to live and exist.

The most recent OBE was in 2004. I was in a hospital ICU under my 4th day of heavy sedation for a failed heart. The medical team was in the process of removing a pelvic heart pump from me and I became fully aware that they were cutting my upper legs where the large stitches were holding the pump in place. Extreme pain and I was trying to make them hear me but that wasn't working because they kept right on talking and didn't pay attention to me. So, I watched along with all the medical staff in that room as my inside body raised up out of my physical body and began to loudly curse all there who were in my hospital room. Each medical team member froze in place as this inside self pointed a finger in their face and told them that they had no mercy and they were all evil mf's for hurting me. And then this dark light form of a human body laid back down inside me and patted my cheek and consoled me as "we" went into a very loud screaming fit as the medical team quickly yanked out the pelvic pump. And then the lead doctor of the medical team got down on his knees and looked directly into my face and very emotionally spit out that I should be on my knees thanking god that I wasn't dead. After that, I was denied pain medication by the lead nurse who had witnessed this and my husband basically had to fire that entire medical team and insisted that the hospital provide a new team of personnel to oversee my care. Even with that, I had doctors that refused to care for me and some that agreed made the sign of the cross before entering my room and refused to touch me. I think there were many personnel who were convinced that I had demons inside me. I was assigned two male nurses that were Vietnam vets. They each told me independent of each other that they knew what had happened and told me not to worry because they were there to protect me. They told my husband that they had seen similar behavior from soldiers and others dying on the battlefield in Nam. For myself, I was glad to know that I wasn't unique with having an inside self that made physical appearances. I retell this to anyone who chooses to listen because I know that it's possible for anyone to have a similar experience of actually and visually seeing their inside self materialize in a physical form. All of it will force you to question your belief system. I think that most of humanity will be faced with their inside self at some point in our future. It's part of the knowing that comes with transmutation into another level of physical reality. I've never intentionally set out to disconnect my inside self from my physical body. I leave that decision up to my inside self. For now, "we" are trying to stay "here" to be a witness to the "change".
