I believe they are real. I've experienced it as a kid once or twice. I'm not sure how it works but I remembering it happening when I was staring at something for a long time. I don't remember floating around the room or anything, just floating slightly above my body. This scared me and I really didn't understand what happened to me.

Re: Out Of Body Experiences?

I've had "out of mind" experiences, as in "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?" Does that count.

Re: Out Of Body Experiences?

Paul the apostle believed they can happen. He said he knew a man (likely himself) who had an experience, but was not sure if it was in the body or out of the body. If he was not sure then he believed it was possible.

Sadly, I'm sure that if it be one did experience such an event, and acknowledged it by publishing the peculiar circumstances on this forum, the only thing they would accomplish would be to submit themselves to untold ridicule by others.

As noted by mflume, tis true such an event happened to the apostle Paul, and seeing that God is not a respecter of persons, then I am persuaded to believe that it is also possible others are able to have such an experience.

I believe the Apostle and as soon as a person LIVES like the Apostle Paul, then they can expect events that happened to Paul to happen to them..
