Re: Psychology/Dissociation and OBE's
One other comment. Conscious OBE is very like a lucid dream in many respects. In fact, some people argue that they're actually the same thing, and I'm not going to get into that (because I don't believe it), but that shows how similar they are. Psychology definitely does recognise lucid dreaming (a psychology course years ago is where I first heard of it, and I wrote a special report on the topic because it intrigued me so much), and it is well known and certainly accepted that a lucid dream is in no way the same thing as a dissociative event due to trauma.
Academics are pretty well known for treating every problem like a nail, because they only have a hammer (the hammer of their own speciality). To a dentist, everything is teeth and jaw, to a psychologist, everything is whatever school of psychology they're versed in, to a mathematician, everything is maths, to an art historian, everything is art. I just take that into account when dealing with them. They mean well.
May the light surround you, may you be blessed. May the light surround us, may we be blessed. May love and light surround us all, and may we all be healed and blessed. And so it is, and so it shall be, now and ever after.
