For many years starting when I was 10 years old. I didn't know it then, but it was just the start. In college was when I experienced it the most. The great part about having an out-of-body experience is knowing that one's consciousness survives independently of the physical. Not to mention it throws a monkey wrench in the old ideas of how one enters heaven/nirvana/etc. The old thinking where the physical body actually rise up out of the ground and flies into the Master's eternal grasp is well, a reach if you ask me.
