How has OBE changed you?

You have me confused, once you find the evidence let me know. I would like to see what you find. That's very interesting in what you claim.

Maybe I should have put evidence into "". Of course you won't find any real evidence against the after life. The same goes for pro after life evidence.

What I mean: Whatever _you_ consider to be evidence (be it pro or contra after life, for example), you will find it if you look for it.

An example: If I think that meeting my dead grand parents will be evidence for the after life, then I will find it if I look for this kind of evidence.

The fact that you can find whatever you want to find while APing, reduces the value of evidence you find there dramatically.

Hmm, well Veccolo I am confused. I guess it is a matter of opinion when it comes to this topic. Nobody knows for sure what is going to happen when we die. We just have to wait and see  I will simply leave my ending statement to this post.  You know the old saying, "I say to-ma-to and you say to-may-to" It happens! Peace out.

Exactly! That's my opinion as well.

Well, obe's have changed my mind on a lot of subjects.  I'm always breath taken by all the different spiritual things you can see and experience.   It has blown my mind and taught me patience.  It's been a wild ride.

I could lie in bed at night with my eyes open to the darkness, and watch objects going across my field of vision as if they where really there - sadly this skill has waned as I have got older.

That's jogged my memory! I used to do that too! I had completely forgotten that! I wonder what that was all about anyway? hehe.

Before I ever had any OBE's I never realized who I truly was. I looked in the mirror and what I thought I saw was me. After having four in one week my outlook on life has drastically changed. Now, when I look in the mirror I know that what I am looking at is simply a body holding me. Not only holding me - but everyone else that exists. (A song by Tool perfectly describes my thoughts). This has helped me become MUCH LESS judgemental towards people because I am able to see that their is a soul inside of them that is their true self, not their physical body. For the first time, I actually feel as if I am looking on the inside rather than the outside.  I feel extremely grateful to simply have a body that I can use as my tool to live this life:  To help people,  to play music, to make art, to embrace, to do so many things that when your dead- you can't really do (at least I don't think so..). All these little things, I used to take for granted. Besides this, everything I have done to induce OBE's (meditation, etc.) and OBEs itself has helped me become a much more relaxed person. For instance, rather than letting anger get control of me (like so many people do) - I am able to stand aside and realize that it is time to learn to not respond with such an emotion. It really is silly. Anyway, I guess in a way.. OBE's have "saved me"....
