Impromptu projection whilst walking & talking!

[alchemist]

Hi all,

Whilst walking through a shopping centre yesterday with my sons and on a mobile phone call, when I suddenly realised my consciousness was completely out of body.

I had that duality feeling (experiencing from both the body and projected consciousness) and experienced the below events simulateously (info-overload!).

Took me a while to work out what the hell was happening. First I noticed that my torso went TOTALLY numb (like it was not there - absolutely NIL sensory input) followed by the rest of the body.

From the 'external' focus, I observed myself whilst situated about a foot to the left and slightly to the rear of my physical body, watching me walking and speaking into the mobile as a distinct separate entity. As if I was walking alongside and listening to another person - not knowing what words would be spoken until they were voiced. (Have you ever had that feeling of speaking to someone and then you temporarily *click out* and don't know what you're going to say next, yet the words still come out coherent?)

From my 'inner' focus, I felt like a hollow shell- like I'd been gutted - there was no 'source' to me. I guess zombie-like is the best description- like 'theres a light on, but nobody's home' - terrible feeling! Like I was going to crumple in a heap.

The whole event lasted perhaps 60 seconds and took a while before I was in sync again. Only remembered the above after some deep reflection.

Anyone had a similar experience?

Hehe, sounds like fun. I've experienced the mind split a number of times but not in public like that. Although one time, after I had just achieved lucidity, I felt my senses dulling quickly again, as though I was forcibly being put to sleep. I kept jumping up and down with my hands in the air to stay awake while this giant insect was trying to buzz around my head, ah good times.
