thank you for posting, CL!


i haven't heard of such a thing happening before. really interesting. OBE/astral projection/lucid dreaming really makes you rethink what your ego is. you're more than your physical body and exist on different subtle levels...

i think you were just spontaneously able to shift your awareness because of the building energy from the stimulation. i can relate to that 'disjointed' feeling - i experienced something similar for the first time when awake when i was maybe 5 years old (obviously not caused by masturbation lol). i don't think these were technically OBEs, though. i'm not sure what to call it.

i was looking out the window of my house and had something like an attack of deja vu. i felt like i wasn't really in that time frame. the room started to turn without me turning my head. then i felt sort of 'out of phase' with my body like it wasn't really 'mine.'

i think that kind of thing is a great experience. it's like a half ego-death. i've heard of a more.. i guess complete ego-death from tantric sex. in some ancient texts there's mention of a transference of consciousness that can be purposefully attained in this way.
