Experience description:

At the time I randomly decided to stop by and say hello to my mother since I was in the neighborhood. I was at my mother's place of work in New York City standing together and talking. My mother touched my left shoulder and I felt a strong electric jolt where she touched me. The next thing I know I was on the 40 ft. ceiling looking down at myself and my mother and her co-workers. I did not see anything beyond what was in that large room. I suddenly thought to myself I don't belong up here and immediately after that I was sucked back into my body. I was totally freaked out but didn't show or say anything to my mother. I needed time to process this experience. I said goodbye to my mother and left in deep thought. After thinking about it for several days I decided to discuss the experience with my mother who is also a spiritual person. I asked her if she recalled the day I visited her at work. She replied yes. I asked did you feel anything when you touched my shoulder. She replied a brief frightening chill came over her that gave her goose bumps. Then I describe my experience to her and she finally understood why she had that chill. 

After my life altering event that turned me towards spirituality I was still on the fence about the existence of an angelic soul separate from the body. After much thought I believe that the reason for this experience was to prove to me that this soul does exist and can exist outside my physical body. In addition, I came to the conclusion that this soul is the real me and not my body because when my soul was on the ceiling I thought to myself I (BOLD/UNDERLINED) don't belong up here.
