[Reference-and-Education:Paranormal] Having an out of body experience is one of the most luxurious, fascinating and energising experiences one could ever have. It also happens to be one of the most difficult experiences to describe and no verbal or written description could ever do it justice. It is certainly reasonable to share this experience with others but do not try to convince a sceptic of the validity of an out of body experience.

The question is whether or not the medication works or if it just dulls the senses while waiting for recovery.

All these phrases do not really mean anything, for the very nature of enlightenment is beyond any description that can be placed within the framework of time and space.
