Poem
Like everything else in life, the more you do it the better you get. But the first time is an amazing experience and something you will never forget. Most people, however, never have a first time. This is not something you will to happen. This is not something you make happen. This is not something that takes thought, intelligence, strength, endurance, or perseverance. In fact, this is something that takes absolutely nothing to make it happen. But, you see, not many people can achieve absolute nothingness. To allow your spirit to disconnect from its physical casing requires you to forget everything you know about life; to suspend disbelief; to transcend into a world of nothingness; no thought; no sensual perception; no bias towards physical traits; no awareness; no expectations. You don’t try to leave your body. You don’t imagine what it is like. You just allow it to happen by having no expectations of what it means. You enter into the realm of nothingness. The first out of body experience for the few of us that have been blessed with this occurrence is more like an accident than an achievement. You simply find yourself looking down on a body you hardly recognize before realizing it is yours. This realization; this shock; usually results in ending the experience before you even realize what it was you were experiencing. But, once it happens a second time, you can maintain the disassociation; you can remain distanced from your physical being. Anyone who attempts to have an out of body experience is likely to fail. You do not make this happen, you simply allow it to happen. Some think they have achieved this state aided by drugs, alcohol or meditation … they have not. People only think they have based on a misconception about what this experience really is. Just like I cannot tell you how to have this experience, I cannot explain to you what this experience is like. And the only way you can experience it for yourself is to forget all about trying to experience it. Just like everything else in life, the more you do it the better you get. But it is really nothing that you do and more something that you allow by simply doing and being nothing.
