A fun experience

[kiwibonga]

I had a fun experience last night...

I woke up to vibrations a few hours after falling asleep. I tried real hard to separate and float up but I was too heavy, still attached to the physical, so I decided to ask someone to help me leave the body by pulling me out. No help came so I tried to separate again. I was doing this in a pretty clumsy way... I was pretty much randomly shooting energy around me in hopes that it would create a projectable double.

After a while, I saw pale shapes moving around the room. I thought that was my projectable double, and I was like "Oh, great, I'm still conscious, that means I have to wait here while this idiot goes on an adventure!"

That's when I felt something very cold wrap around my head. That wasn't my projectable double!

"Damn it, getting attacked again!" I thought.

It was a small, child sized entity. After much deliberation, I understood that he was here to help me, not bother me, so I let him pull me out. The way he pulled me out was a bit weird, he had his arms and legs around my head and was trying to float up!

I couldn't see him at this point but I was able to feel the whole extent of his (extremely cold) body from head to toes with my "hands" -- I put hands in quotes here because it really felt as though my hands were huge nets that perfectly identified his whole shape at once and I could feel, very realistically, how cold he was.

"It's a ghost," I thought...

When he pulled me out, something hilarious happened -- what looked like my physical body "recoiled" from the separation and found itself a little farther down the bed. This is the second time this happens -- I see my physical body, and

1. It's completely stuck in the same position as my sleeping position, but on its back instead of on its side, so it looks like a stiff dead body with paralyzed articulations!
2. I can move it around with thought, but my actual physical body doesn't move (i.e. I wake up in the same position I fell asleep in).
3. It's fully dressed even though I went to bed with just shorts.
4. It's smiling like an idiot -- a really HUGE smile.

I tried to move the body back to the center of the bed, but the kid said "It's okay, just leave it there!"

Much to my surprise, though, I was not in my bed... I was in someone else's bed, in some house I had never seen before.

When I realized what had happened, I turned to the child.

"Thanks for helping me, I'm very grateful! But why are you so cold? You scared me!"

"Well, that's the way it is," he replied telepathically. That's not exactly what he said, but he expressed the fact that he had no answer, and that he didn't think it was odd.

After that, we went to the living room and I remembered that we played a bit, but nothing specific...

There was a presence somewhere with me... I don't know if it was a "guide"; there was clearly something behind me that was watching or giving advice, but I did not realize that it was there immediately. It's only in retrospect that I remember communicating with it.

At some point, while we were playing, I asked the little boy what his name was.

"Èn," he said.

"Èn, like, your initial is the letter N?"

"No, just Èn."

I was pretty convinced that he was a ghost, i.e. a lost soul that needed help to realize his death and cross over to the other side. That's when the "guide" behind me made me remember something I had read in Rosalind McKnight's book -- Robert Monroe's method to help lost souls cross over.

"Hey, where are your parents? How come you're here all by yourself?"

"..."

"You do have parents, don't you?"

"I think so..."

(I turned to my "guide" and said "Damn, why doesn't this kid know whether or not he has parents!")

"Would you like to be with them again?"

"Yes!"

"Okay. Close your eyes. Do you see a light? You should follow the light if you see one!"

He closes his eyes for 3 seconds and says "Nothing's happening!"

(I turned to my "guide" again and said "Argh! Why can't it happen like in the book!")

That's when I decided to go for the "big finale" and give it to him straight.

"YOU ARE D.."

*Flash*

I was transported directly back to my body mid sentence!

But I wasn't completely back, I was still in that bed that wasn't mine!

So I repeated the same routine. I asked Èn to come and pull me out. Instantly, I felt his arms and legs around my head, trying to pull me up.

Unfortunately, after that, I was much less lucid, and the memories are all mixed up... I remember meeting different people, I also remember that we were in my childhood home's backyard, it was really beautiful, green everywhere with pleasant sunlight shining down on us.

I'm pretty disappointed that I didn't get to help the kid. Who knows, maybe he wasn't actually dead! He felt extremely cold and was home alone despites being only 8 or 9, but that's the only clues I had!

I wonder if I was called back to my body when I told him he was dead because that was a mistake...

In any case... *Adds 1 to the OBE counter*

Interesting experience, Kiwi!  :thumbsup: I was actually reading it as a story, waiting impatiently to know if the boy will get to know he might be dead!

* Why don't I ever have little boys pulling me out? Lol *

In retrospect, it seems I've been foolish to assume that the little boy needed to cross over, or even that he was dead...

Because who knows... Even though it seemed so obvious at the time that he was a lost soul, I failed to gather significant evidence...

What if he was just a little wandering astral projector who wanted to play? Did I tell a poor little kid from my neighborhood that he was dead? That would be terrible! Imagine being visited in your sleep and being told that you need to get over yourself and cross over to the other side!

I also assumed that his parents were waiting for him in the afterlife... But what if his parents were still alive?

Also, what if he was just an astral lifeform who can never experience death?!

It seems I've come across yet another astral lesson that showed me the importance of not rushing to conclusions and actions.

I hope I can go back and meet "Èn" again... I really hope I didn't cause damage :O

Interesting OBE! I always enjoy reading what others experience.

"Damn it, getting attacked again!" I thought.
