A description of the experience
William Buhlman - The Secret of the Soul
L B New Brunswick Canada
Lying on my back, I silently repeated two affirmations:
"I remain aware as I drift to sleep" and
"Now I am out of my body:"
It took about fifteen minutes before my body became sleepy and tired, so I repeated the affirmations in my mind. When my body transitioned to sleep, instantly I was out of my body. I became aware that I was just outside of my body close to the door. I noticed that a person was walking into the room wearing dark clothes. My vision was blurry and lazy even though I was quite conscious and aware. Then my thoughts became focused on the person. The room was still dark, because the person had not turned on the light yet.
Then the scenery changed and I was in a cloudlike environment. There I was next to an angel who was sitting on what appeared to be a cloud, a book in his lap. The reason I knew it was an angel was that, for one, I felt it, and it was dressed in white. The whole time, I was quite calm and knew what was going on. The environment was somewhat dim. On the other side of the angel was a white path leading up to the higher heavens. Focused on the book, I asked the angel,
"What is in the book?" The response was like images entering my mind:
"Let's see what you have done with your life."
I was shown things about myself that are important, and I was amazed at the simplicity of it all.
Now I really watch my thoughts and deeds, and I thank God for the reassurance that I am progressing.
