Title: does obe improve the morality of the man?
Post by: MovieMike on March 07, 2002, 21:38:45
I certainly welcome more views on this, but I for one do not see how an OBE can influence one's morality.

My operating assumption is that the OBE gives the traveler more information and a view of what is, from a different and not-so-normal perspective. If one were, as they say, set in ones' ways; it is not clear to me that more information, by itself, would necessarily change those habitual ways of functioning.

Indeed one could easily make the case that the additional information obtained via the OBE would be used in non-moral ways.

One might assume the optimistic stance that more information can be used to update, reform, or extend one's morality. But my view is that one should be cautious down this path, as I've experienced many disappointments consequent to unrealistic optimism.

It looks like we are all agreed that the OBE is morally neutral.

That being said, perhaps it is worth doing, for the shear joy of exploring something new!

I am just wondering if the obe ability improves the way one see things in a more pholosophical way.I think that maybe yes and also the level of mentality has something to do with the ability itself or what do you think about this?
