Before I begin this does not make me special, we are all capable of what you are about to read and it is our universal right, it is just many people do not believe it is possible because society tells them it's not. If your an intelligent person and enough people tell you that you stupid long enough, sooner or later the conditioning will change who you are. It's the same with metaphysics and remembering your true potentials, so don't give your universal powers away to other so quickly. My Conscious OBE. A True Story I have always known that I have had extra senses and when I was around the age of 3 I used to scare the hell out of my folks. I would tell them about people and things that used to come into my room and talk with me. At first my parents thought it was nothing, just an imaginary friends, but as time progressed objects would move about the room and get themselves rearranged, objects I had no way of reaching. I could also feel people's thought's, emotions, etc., I just thought this was all normal, until people around help me repress my universal gift to where it didn't completely open up again 18 years later. My parents shared these stories with me as I started to open up to them after my first conscious OBE. I want everyone to know that the story you are about to read is an actual account that profoundly changed the way I look at life and who I truly am. My experience reaffirmed many things up to that point that I had experienced but could not explain because of societies ideals. I was a bit hesitant on posting it but here it is. It was around 20 years ago. I will never forget what happened to me because I was scared to death after it happened. And it forever changed my perception of life. I was in my late teens and the group of guys I hung out with decided that they wanted to go to Canada to drink and party. I was the designated driver most of the time because drinking was 4 nights a week was not my forte. Anyhow, the bars close at 1pm in Canada and we got over the Ambassador Bridge it was about 2pm, by the time I got everyone home it was 3:30pm. I was a bit tired, but more hungry. I was living with my parents at that time, so life was care free. My parents lived in a large 2 story home with a full finished basement. I pulled up in the driveway about 4pm and went straight downstairs to get something to eat and switched on the TV. The TV was situated directly across from the couch where I was seated. I went to the kitchen, in the basement, and pulled a bowl of pasta out left over from dinner. After eating the entire bowl I started to get really tired and I decided I would go to bed, so I started up the basement stairs. My room was on the 2nd floor so up I went, past the 1st floor then one more flight to go, by the time I reached the top step I thought $Hit! I forgot to turn the TV off, so back down the stairs I went. When I reached the landing in the basement I turned and looked to the couch, across from the TV, where I had been sitting. I froze up, because there was some guy sitting on the couch that I didn’t recognize, this strange intruder didn’t move or see me, so I quickly jumped back up a couple of steps and hid behind the wall coming down the stairs. OK! What do I do I thought. I wasn’t really scared at that moment just a bit puzzled to who it was. Did a friend come home with me that I couldn’t remember or did they walk in after I went upstairs? Things were a bit off and I was feeling a bit strange. Ok, I am going to peek around the corner here and see who the hell this is. I poked my head out, around the corner, hmmm he looks like he is sleeping, but it’s a bit dark cause the TV is flashing from dark to light, but I think I know him. And that guy is eating my mother’s pasta. I pondered as the TV got brighter and I could see this person more clearly now. This guy really looks familiar…….then it hit me, all at once. That’s me! Or my body or my self…WTF! But…I’m here…….I got really scared. Just at the moment I snapped back into my body, my eyes opened and I was positioned facing the TV, sitting on the couch, with the pasta bowl in hand and adrenalin starting to overcome my body. I didn’t know what to think. WTF! I was just on the stairs looking at myself or my body now I am here. OK! I am going nuts. You all have to understand at that time you couldn’t just jump on the net and start researching or asking people. What do I do? I sure as hell wasn’t going to wake my parents and tell them what just happened, because for sure they would think I was nuts. So the next day I was up and off to the library, after 2 weeks there nothing, nothing in any areas, psychology, or anything made sense of my experience, nothing even remotely close. And who was I going to ask? Maybe I should talk to a priest, I thought……….nope, I wasn’t even going to go there. I was drawn to a little off the wall book store, in my area that I thought might have something I could use. The bookstore was a combination psychic shop and metaphysical bookstore, at that point I had never even read a single book on metaphysics, or stepped foot into a shop like this. So I spent about 1 hour flipping through books but I found nothing. A lady near me was sitting in a chair reading a book, she had been there a while and I was getting a warm feeling from her, she looked over and said hello how are you? I replied, well, not so well, she said is there something I can help you with? I own the store and maybe I can direct you to what you need. I said well you may think I am nuts, but here’s my situation and I told her what happened, she laughed and said your fine you had an involuntary OBE or Out of body experience. I replied a what? Here she said, you can flip through these books here and buy the ones that most resonant with your situation. I thanked her and immediately began my research into what had happen to me. I was so thankful after reading many, many accounts that I was not alone and it was normal. Most people don’t remember when OBE’s happen. One of the things I remember from a particular book is that most people have experienced OBE’s. The book said something like this: The best indicator is when your laying in bed and your just drifting off to sleep and you feel like you are falling or drifting away and you snap or jolt back into your body and it wakes you. You get that jolt and your whole body jumps. I’ll bet most people have had or remember that experience. Anyhow from that moment on I knew I was more than my body and that’s when things really got fun and exciting as I began my journey. And have experienced many other wonderful worlds, sounds, feelings, and am still learning the ropes etc.. I hope you enjoyed my journey in short.
