When I had my first out-of-body experience, it was a mind-blower. It’s like, oh my God, there’s a vast and multidimensional universe for us to explore. And here we are latching on to these man-made beliefs that change on the whim of some guy in a building.
It’s insane. Okay, so what is a common element of spiritual experiences throughout history? And this is seldom talked about, because we often in our society, we don’t connect the dots. We accept what we’re given at birth, and then we think we’re changing a few things.
We incorporate into our belief system a few elements of karma. Oh, I’m making big steps now. I believe in karma.
Oh, and now I’m really getting enlightened. I believe in reincarnation. Wow, I’m on my way now.
But we’re hanging on to these core stuff. Maybe the time has come to break free. What is the core?
When you look at the core of all religious texts, of all profound spiritual experience throughout the entire history of mankind, what is it? It’s love, and it’s also the experience of transcending the body on some level.

Why are OBEs, why are out-of-body experiences, and especially self-initiated experiences, important to you? In my books, I detail 27 benefits. The most important one is self-knowledge and verification. It’s so critically important in this stage of humanity that we begin to verify these things.
Verify personally. It’s critically important to not only our personal evolution, but the evolution of the planet, I feel. Think of it.
There’s 7.2 billion people on the planet. The vast majority have no idea where they were before they were born. Think of it.
Not a clue. They suddenly were born in a biological body, and they’re making the best of it. They don’t know they’re on this 80-90 year journey on this planet, and vast majority people don’t have a clue where they’re really going.
They have cute terms like heaven, but they don’t know what the destination truly is. They hope and pray it’s a nice place. They don’t know why they’re here.
They don’t know the spiritual purpose for it. It’s like a collective insanity has gripped all of the planet, where we settle for so little, and then what happens? Ask yourself just one question. What would you believe today if you would have been born in China or Iran? It would have been totally different.
