Understanding Out-of-Body Experiences

Out-of-body experiences (OBEs) are defined as subjective sensations where individuals feel they exist outside of their physical bodies. These experiences often lead to a profound questioning of reality, where participants may perceive their surroundings or even witness events happening to their physical forms. The significance of these experiences centers on the feeling of existence independent of the body, rather than requiring tangible evidence or proof. Marina Weiler emphasizes that the essence of an OBE lies in the personal experience of consciousness, suggesting that this phenomenon transcends conventional understanding of the mind-body connection.
