On 2002/08/03 18:04, Gregor Gonnella posted thus to the K-list: I think its very interesting. I'm not an expert. But I guess some people on
the site will be able to help you. If you don't get a good reply on the
subject you could try posting the message again a few days later. That's
what I did and it seemed to help
Gregor.

Subject: [K-list] To oobe or not to oobe.> Hello. This is my first post. Let me begin by saying I have a
> question, but first, some background. Back about a year ago, I was
> looking for something relaxing to do that was also interesting
> online, and I came upon what I saw as a derivative of
> meditation; that being oobe or astral projection. I went at it as
> prescribed in various online documentation for about a week or so,
> when upon one attempt I was feeling the assumed effects, extreme
> relaxation, paralysis, very strong and warm vibrations through my
> whole body, a feeling that my feet were being gripped and pulled
> downward toward the end of the bed, and so on, until a very strong
> pressure developed in my forehead, and a feeling that my face was
> being pulled forward by some unseen force. After this sensation
> persisted for a few minutes, there was the feeling of an explosion in
> my forehead accompanied by a loud boom, release of pressure, and
> audible screams. I then found myself suspended in empty, open grey-
> white space.
