I would like to speak to you on the subject of out of body experiences.
Past life regression are similar in that you visit a point in a past life but very different in how you obtain the experience.
First we must consider the fact of reincarnation you can’t go back if there is no back to go to. From the very beginning of the worship of the ancestors stories of old heroes coming back to protect his people, were told around every camp fire. In the far eastern religions reincarnation was common, along with ancestral worship. The Celtics were fierce in battle because of their belief in reincarnation to die was only a new beginning. The Bible has at least one reference to reincarnation, not being a Biblical scholar I don’t know for sure if there are others.
This shows there is an unbroken line of belief in reincarnation from the beginning of mankind. All this validation is to give you a base to understand the logic I used to come to what I feel was the right conclusion after having these experiences. Blind faith has never been a strong point of mine. To believe I must find a reason or historical evidence to help explain the experience. I don’t believe I’m the first person to have this experience and I must be able to rule out a deception of the mind. You have to be able to control your mind not let it trick you into believing what you want to be true. There are too many wonderful experiences out there to waste time on deceptions.
Out of body experience can happen at anytime they are spontaneous and vivid, you instantly find yourself in a different place and time. It has been my experience that it is always first person, you are looking through that persons eyes. You are as you were at that point in time, you communicate with others, you understand what is being said, but you hear nothing. The emotional experience is always overwhelming you know on some level that these people are dead, but you still feel the love or friendship you had then. In every way those few moments are as real as your present life.
I’ve had three of these experiences, the first was before I built the Henge.

See Thomas' http://www.powerfengshui.info/EZine/Thomas's%20Corner.shtml Where he shares Thomas Built His Own Stone Henge Monument with us if you have not already read it. It is awesome...On a Full Moon night it is otherworldly...but that is a story for another time.
My daughter came to visit from Tennessee and brought a staff for me to carve magical emblems on for a friend. I had spent most of the day working on the staff, trying to find what symbols I thought she would want. As the sun was going down I went inside to finish my work. I was setting on the couch finishing the last of the symbols and discussing family politics with my wife. When for no apparent reason I was no longer sitting in my living room but standing in a prehistoric village. It was in a small valley surrounded by rolling hills, the dwellings were half dug into the sides of the hills with an arbor to my right. Judging from my visual perception I could not have been over four or five.
I walked around the village looking for someone, but I was the only one there. The village was deserted. What was I to do, I started crying.
Something told me to get control of myself, and I started to try and come back to my world. Slowly that world begins to fade and this one became real again. The emotion I felt was one of total despair.
When I came back to this world I was on the other side of the room crying like a baby, with my wife looking at me as if I had gone mad.
I wanted to explain to her what had happened but I couldn’t stop crying. Later she told me I was saying strange words and acting quite unusual. I tried to explain as best I could what had happened, but I could only tell her what I saw. I have never been able to put into words exactly what I felt.
What I can say is you will all know what I felt when it’s your turn to be a child alone in a deserted village.
The second time you may have read about in my Henge story, what I would like to explain here is the way I handled the second experience verses the first.
In the first I was taken by complete surprise. I had no control over what happened, I was thrown completely into another place and time. This time I recognized what was about to happen and stopped it before I slipped completely into the other world.
The best way to explain it would be that one world overlaid the other. I could see both at the same time. The past life overlaid the real and was more vivid. I watched as the people gathered, spoke to some all the while telling my wife about what I was witnessing as the scene unfolded. The emotions were not as strong but still quite intense.
After much thought I have came to the conclusion that the emotion I felt was not from impending doom as I thought at the time, but from the act of re-living the experience.
The Third time was of my oldest daughter in a life we shared together hundreds of years ago.
We both came to that conclusion about the same time, both of us seeking, using different methods and hundreds of miles apart. There were a few minor differences but most fit together quite well. In that life we lived in the Holy Lands 1300 BC. It was my first life and her second, she said we were brothers I thought we were friends but at the time I was only interested in dates not relationships. So I’ll give her that one.
Several years later I was putting my notes together for my Book of Shadows (a record of my experiences and theories) and came across my notes on our earlier life together. After reading my notes I thought I should email her to make sure my memory of her experiences were correct.
As I sat at the computer gathering my thoughts a strange feeling came over me as I wrote the email it started to grow. The more I wrote the stronger the feeling and I let myself slipped into the life I was asking about.
He “she” was standing before me a handsome young man in his late teens. With black hair and olive skin, dressed in a short brown tunic that came to just above the knees with a sash at the waist.
We were talking about what we were going to do tonight, it would be dangerous but everyone’s life was filled with danger. In our small village danger was around every corner.
He “she” was very excited his movements were animated and his eyes sparkled with anticipation for what we had planned.
I loved this man and he loved me. We were brothers, nothing else can explain how I felt about him.
Then it was gone, I was sitting at my computer looking at my half finished email. What I was writing her about was she had said she “he” ran off and left me to die but after seeing what I saw I don’t believe it. I might have died that night, he “she” might have blamed themselves, but I don’t believe he would ever run and leave me to die. Not even if I had asked him to.
I believe out of body experiences are brought on when you are in the same frame of mind or you’re doing something that triggers your subconscious to remember a similar activity in another life.
My first out of body experience was one of being left alone, one of my daughters had just left her husband and I was concerned about her (family politics she was alone), and I was carving ancient Celtic symbols. The next thing I new I was alone in a prehistoric village.
The second one was after I had finished raising the standing stones for my Henge. Something I have always wanted. That evening I went to a time where I not only had a real Henge but I was the Druid, the wise man of the people.
Third one was when I was writing to my daughter about her “him” causing my death, I was shown what our relationship was at that time. To let us both know it was not her fault. She didn’t intentionally leave me, and she never will.
Our lives will cross again and again, just as my wife and I have found each other in the past and will in the future.
When your soul bonds with another you seek it out, it may take a thousand years but it will happen.
My belief is, we all are capable of having out of body experiences but few ever will. Because it doesn’t fit their belief system, in most peoples system there is no back to go to. Their minds will not tolerate such an experience, because it endangers their belief system.
As for myself I’m open to anything the Cosmos sends my way as long as it’s not from the dark side. I’ve played there some in my youth and found they don’t play fair.
Soon we will speak of Past Life Regression.
