Out of the Body Experiences – Celia Green
- All movement was instantaneous. To think was to have acted
-
I came out of my body, during the night, and saw my body asleep in the bed on two occasions. I didn't know what was happening and so got rather frightened, especially when I realised I only had to look at something and want to approach it, for me to start moving in that direction. I didn't have to put one foot in front of another. I just glided, in the upright position. It was the acceleration which frightened me
-
I began to wonder what it would be like to go through the ward door. As I looked at the door handle, I found myself moving towards it, gathering speed so rapidly, I got frightened. I thought 'if I go out of that door, I may not find the way back' and with that fear, I snapped backwards, as though flipped by elastic until 'snap' I was back in my body and one with it
-
I could see through things – not optically, but could transfer my consciousness from one spot to another at will
-
Not see, or hear anything. But a feeling that by a mere split second thought I could travel millions of miles
-
I experimented by moving about my room with a kind of floating or drifting movement, some feet above the ground, and learned that direction was quite easily controlled by will. The sense of lightness and freedom was delightful
-
Perhaps the only thought I had at that time and yet it wasn't a thought was that I could flash across the universe by a mere blink of an eyelid
