- This is an oobe I had a while ago. It kind of involves joint oobe,
- which has come up recently.
-
- BTW, this happened on Halloween of '91, but not that it matters.
- Anyway, I decided to have an astral travelling experience while my friend
- watched over my body. I am able to remain in contact with my physical body
- while I'm "out", and so I wanted to narrate my experience as best I could
- for my friend. A lot of my oobe's have involved seeing a symbolically
- colored path. This time, the path was green, and led through a serene
- forest. I wandered along the path for awhile, then felt a pulling sensation
- that accelerated my motion until the trees were a blur. I slowed down, then
- stopped outside a small clearing. There was a man in a (you guessed it)
- green robe. He was old, bent over, but exuded an inner strength that belied
- his age. He raised his head, made eye contact, and motioned me into the
- clearing with his gnarled staff. I moved into the clearing, drawn by his
- gaze. He set his hands on my shoulders, and pulled me close enough to
- whisper, "There is something important I must tell you, but I will wait until
- you come alone". I saw his eyes watching the side of the clearing I had
- entered on, and when I started to turn to look, he motioned for me not to.
- I came back to my body, woke up, and asked my friend what all he had heard.
- Apparently I hadn't said anything after entering the clearing, but he then
- said that he had decided to follow me astrally after I had entered the
- forest. He had been standing at the edge of the clearing, watching me and
- the man in the green robes, but had darted off when the man saw him.
-
- I never went back to the green path, and probably never will, but
- this is one experience I will never forget.
-
- I would accept comments gratefully, but please don't try to analyze
- my experience. I know what happened.
