Hello Bluelight,
I would not say that I am a Christian in the generally accepted sense. But in the mystical sense I am very Christian. I read a book called the "Mystic Bible" by Dr.Randolf Stone many years ago. He explaines that the bible is filled with mystical experiences. For example, When Moses went up the mountain (OBE) he saw the burning bush and god spoke to him. He was out of body and observing what the Hindus call the thousand petal lotus. The voice that he heard was the "Sound Current" which permiates everything with sound, light and music. This sound current is also known as the "Word" of Christianity, Shabbd of the Hindus, Logos of the Greeks etc.
When Jesus climed the mountain with his twelve apostles, they were all out of body. That is why they saw him in his "Transfigured form". In eastern mysticism they call this the "Radiant Form. Climbing the mountain is a metaphor for OBE in mysticism.
Religious books are filled with mysticism. But due to the political and social climates in most ancient cultures, the real mysticism was hidden and cloaked in parables and metaphors. The Gnostics were the ones to carry on this mystic tradition in Christianity. Jesus was all about OBE`s and exploring the "Many Mansions" Bill
