HELP My first experience

[theplastickid]

Hi,

The other day i was walking down the road and all of a sudden i felt as if i was falling out of my body. I was like above the back of my body in the 3rd person and looking down on everyone and everything. I looked at a cat and it looked really strange as if i had never seen one before and it was staring at me following me with its eyes and so was another cat. My body was walking really fast and i was aware of everything around me. I was trying to get my body to slow down but it wouldn't stop and just kept on walking.

I don't know if this was astral experience or what but this is what it seems to have been.

I used to have them about a year ago but just ignored it because i didn't know what it was.

For some reason these things come out of the blue.

Some help and comments would be appreciated please.

P.S. It wasn't a bed experience i actually found it quite amazing!

I'll mention to you right now that in one world or another this is a lack of mental control. What AP'ers would call this is a concious occurance of tripping out of your body. Phasers would tell you this is slipping in to your imagination. One way or another, you need to get your head back on your shoulders.

What is suggested here is that you have a bit of a hectic mindset. It's torn between things, possibly emotionally rampant. Control would be the obvious solution.

Fortunately you don't need some mystical healer. All you need is some you time. This is best spent quiet, peacefully, and not spent concentrating on anything big. Meditation is a mentally healthy way of regaining center of self. It can also be fun. Well, I like it. If anything just sitting back with a good book is just as constructive. Take an hour out of your day to just be away from everyone, and not worry about daily life. Relax, be you, live in the moment. You should find yourself feeling a lot better.

A friend I had back in high school said once that she was with some friends riding in a truck when all of the sudden she was looking at herself and everyone else from a few feet in front of her. She said she started saying something like "Oh my God, what's going on..." and could see her body mouthing the words. She said it lasted like 15-20 seconds. I can't confirm the validity, but it was before I knew anything about OBE.

The closest experience I had was when I was riding with a friend several years ago, and when I was in the middle of talking to him I had the distinct sensation of hearing myself from outside myself. It was like hearing yourself on a tape recorder (I've always hated my voice).

It sounds to me like your etheric body loosened and your perception switched to a higher perspective.  I used to do that all the time.  It's quite powerful.
    I find it rather funny that the you mention the cats were staring at you.  Cats have a natural perception of these higher matters.  
    Was there any sense of knowing? or perhaps information that was present, almost as if in the atmosphere, while you were having the experience?  If it was an amazing experience for you, then that sound like a good thing
