Doesn't quite sound crazy BJ, in the cancer hospital I worked in lots of
people had near death experiences like this. I tried Crowleyan Magick for
about 3 years where this is a common practice. I never managed it myself.
Quite a few cultures cite this experience some often drug induced. But
interestingly very few cultures outside of the Christian see this as a soul.
They do see it as a another form of self. A number of alien abduction
stories share similar features. I wish I'd had the experience to see what
I'd make of it. I did once have a really bad trip where I saw myself as a
period (full stop). Which really says it all doesn't it.
