My first Out of Body (OBE) experience

by Robert Moss

I have been meditating for about twenty years, but it has only been for the last few years that I  have developed a greater understanding of what meditation really is. This understanding or should I say awakening grew and developed when I became a Spiritualist and started to sit in circle.  Meditation is the first rung of the ladder, it is like opening an inner door, which allows us to become more aware of the many other doors to the other realms of awareness / consciousness / vibration, call it what you may, which we are not normally privy too. 

These realms are Spirit levels or vibrations and are normally only reached by passing through the veil when one sheds this mortal coil, or when we go to sleep and meet are friends and family on the astral planes.  As Jesus the Christ told us, in my Father’s house there are many mansions, if it were not so I would not have told you. 

All this, the seen and unseen worlds are encapsulated within the being of what we call God.  For it was God that created the Heavens and the Earth, who is the Divine Spirit, the source from which we all sprang.  It is to this source that we shall all return when our cycle of life is over and we return home.  

This journey / experience call it what you will, took place in the winter of 2001 while I was living in Poole, Dorset.  I had set up my room as usual, on my small alter I had a lighted candle and some incense was burning which was sending up sweet pools of smoke and in the background soft meditation music was playing. I believe in setting the scene, for I feel that this ritual helps the mind close down and go into this altered state of being, an altered state of spiritual awareness.  

I sat in my usual half lotus position, listening to the gentle meditation music and began my breathing exercises, in my candle lit bedroom and slowly began to go into the meditative state. I cannot give any time frame as I sometimes meditate for hours. I eventually lost all the feelings from my body.  As I started to go within, I began to see the wonderful hues of purples and moves that come when I enter into the meditative state of consciousness and the feelings of love and joy that I receive from my spirit friends that are around me as I change my vibrations and become more aware of them.

My conciseness of the room receded and then completely disappeared; there was no music, no smell of the incense burning in the room or even any bodily feelings at all. Suddenly, I found myself standing at the bottom of a tunnel, for gazing upwards along the shaft I could see a bright light with clouds passing overhead.  The tunnel also ran to my right, and I saw what looked like marbles, balls of light that were pulsating and changing colours as I watched them.  These balls of light  (orbs) passed me from right to left and then went up the tunnel towards the light, there seemed to be no end to them.  I stood there in amazement, as I had not seen anything like this in any of my meditations, I suddenly realised I was no longer meditating, but my Spirit had left my physical body. Then I was impressed that I was to follow the balls of light up the tunnel.  I will admit to feelings of trepidation at this point, for this was something truly out of the unknown.  I had to tell myself that I was in God’s hands and not to fear for I was going up into his Kingdom of Light.  As I thought this, I felt my Spirit body lifted by unseen hands and I too joined the balls of light passing up through the tunnel and into the light. As I began to rise up towards the light, I was filled with beautiful feelings of being loved, caressed and I was overcome by a wondrous feeling of inner joy and peace which enveloped my whole being.

As I continued to rise I had a feeling of being one with everything and everyone that has been, is now and shall ever be. It was truly an amazing experience being lifted up in this way.

On arriving at the top of the tunnel, I found myself in what appeared to be a large white space,  I say appeared as such, because I could not see any sides to this ‘area’.  In front of me there was a magnificent city.  It looked like something out of the ‘Arabian Knights’ for I could see golden domes, spires and parapets a truly wonderful sight, which was sometimes obscured by clouds passing in front of this incredible vista.  It was to this city that the wonderful balls of light were going. I went forward towards the golden city myself, but as I approached I came into contact with an invisible barrier that would not let me pass through it.  It saddened me that I could not pass through, but I have since thought, if I had passed through would I have wanted to come back.

On looking around there was another surprise waiting for me.  Just a little way off were three flaming pillars.  Then it dawned on me that the balls of light were actually spirit beings in their energy form and that the three flaming pillars were also spirit beings as described in the Old Testament in the days of Moses, ‘for a pillar of fire went before them’.

I went up to the three flaming pillars and indeed they truly looked like flames as the fires within them burned with multi coloured hues that I cannot describe, for I have not seen their like here on the earth plane. On coming up to these three much evolved spirits, I felt that I was in the presence of God, here I felt I was in the presence of  beings that were so highly evolved that should they so wish, they could once again join the source, merge and be one with the Godhead once more. I had no fear of these evolved souls, for they emanated great love, peace and understanding of all things.

I started to converse with them on a mind to mind basis, and what I found very interesting was that when answering one of my queries, the phraseology of their thought patterns was nothing like mine, which showed me that I was not talking to myself.  I asked a number of personal questions, which I will not repeat here, but will say that all the answers that spirit gave me have come true.  One question that was not personal was this; ‘Do those in Spirit have names?’  And they said; “No, we in Spirit know each other by our vibrations, just as you on the earth plane have finger prints, we all have different vibrations. But, we make up names for you on the Earth Plane, as we know that you like these names, such as White Feather”.

After I had finished speaking with Spirit, I was returned to my physical body which started protesting on being made to wake up.  This is the only down side, as sometimes I have pins and needles and have to rub my arms and legs after a long session, but its worth it.  The wondrous things that Spirit have shown me more than make up for any bodily discomfort and I would recommend mediation to anyone who would like to progress in their Spiritual development, and gain the keys to the Spiritual Kingdom and open the doorways that lie within each and every one of us.

It was with great interest and further confirmation for me when I read an article by ITC pioneer George W. Meek a month later on ‘Our Multidimensional Body’, in which he talks of beings of light.  These spirit beings of light will reside in a formless mental body, with the appearance of a living flame or ball of light. Just what I had seen in my visit to the astral plane, this and other things that Spirit have shown me has completely taken away my fear of death, for I now know there is no such thing.

I have been impressed to pass this on to you by those helpers in Spirit that inspire me, and I quote:

‘There is a portal, a door within us; we need to go within to be able to go without. We all hold the keys to the kingdom, but very few of us ever use our keys.  Why keys you ask, because there are many levels for you to pass through, each with its very own key’.  

Find your keys and enjoy your journey.

Love & Light to you and yours.
