Hey everyone

[bonthan]

Hi, I am a new member here, haha, isn't that obvious.
Well, please don't bash me but I am a skeptic, but don't worry I am a very open minded skeptic, I am a skeptic because I want to believe that things that I am skeptical of are real. Which is why I spent hours in the fast 3 days meditating to try to astral project and I'll keep trying. There were times when I had doubt that OBE even exist but consider the fact that many people succeeded and that's why keep me going. So please help me everyone, i need to be enlightened

PS: I am living with a condition that I might die (not AIDS), so I just want to believe that there is life after death.

One more thing lol, I'm trying to cut back the drama, I said I might die not that I will lol.

Well, I was also a skeptic when this all started happening to me when I was a kid.  I did not want anything to do with the experiences, but evidently, I had no choice.  Because I had no choice, I was forced to deal with it, and learning what it meant- at least for me.  I am still not 100% sure what it means, but I know how I feel at the time, and when the experience is happening, I know it is 100% real, and it means I can exist apart from my body.  Of course, my body is still alive, so it is still to proof of life after death. But, it also means that I do not worry about my death as much, or in the same way I may worry otherwise. 

Take a look at some of my blog entries as I learned to accept this, and also how I dealt with the death of a friend of mine who I think came back to tell me she was OK.

Hi bonthan, I am new here too.  There is nothing wrong with being a skeptic.  The fact that you are here to learn about OBE's is what matters.     I think that we all come face to face with our mortality at some point, and everyone deals with that differently.  Honestly you could read all you want about other peoples OBE accounts, and all kinds of literature about how it is done, but until you experience it yourself, it will always be a belief instead of a personal truth.

I have finally decided to join because I am finally ready to learn how to have conscious OBE's.  I have had one non-conscious one, and several dreams that I highly suspect were OBE's.  If you are interested I could give you a great website to check out that may help you with your questions about life after death. I know that it helped me out quite a bit.

Yes, please let me know that website, thanks a lot. And thanks everyone for the welcomes.

Hi,
I actually have two websites for you.  They both deal with the phenomenon called a near death experience, or NDE.  The first one is here: http://www.near-death.com/  and the second one here: http://www.nderf.org/ .  Reading the different accounts of NDE experiences from all kinds of people from all over the world is what really helped me come to terms with the whole life after death thing. The nderf website has a link that lets you read the NDE's of people who submit them, and it is updated bi-weekly.  That way you can read fresh accounts instead of ones that happened years ago.  (although they are all profound )

Hopefully these sites will help you some.  There is quite a bit of material on both sites, so hopefully you will find something useful.

Lots of info. Thanks
