Re: Reality of OOBE - Just in the brain or objective?

Everything you experience is your own brain processing input and signals, and your mind (which is not the same as your brain) deciding what it is, how it fits into your reality, etc. This is not just a spiritual viewpoint. It's basic neuroscience.

That's a big question, and probably better off on a thread of its own, or in one of the many threads already dedicated to the concept of souls and self-awareness, etc.
Generally speaking, most people experience the astral as being part of that which Jung called the Collective Unconscious. OBE may take place in the astral or in that which is called the Real Time Zone (RTZ). The things that people experience in any dream, lucid or not, or any OBE tend to be quite personal, though in some cases, OBE does show things that can be later verified (such as seeing someone in a specific location at a specific time, and having this confirmed later, but that's only one of many, many possibilities).
And, yes, dreams, lucid dreams, OBE, all of that is still your mind interpreting input, so it's as "real" or "not real" as anything else you can experience.
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.
