Experience description:

After reading a book, "Science of Self Suggestion and Self Hypnosis", I decided to try the techniques outlined. After lying flat on my back and attaining a totally relaxed state, I began to see around the room. I looked down at my body and noticed I was ... detached. Wow, can I go through the roof? Seemingly by my own intention, I did float above the roof. I looked around, recognized the street layout, etc. This was at night, but I could make out the layout by the lighting. Saw the highways, leading to the interstate, saw the lights above the next town and just zoomed down I-20 to my home town in Louisiana. I saw my mother-in-law's house, where my wife was visiting, and lowered my self down through their roof into the living room. It seemed very bright, I saw her Dad at the dinner table, her brother watching TV. They apparently had just finished eating dinner and my wife was at the kitchen sink.

I noticed that her Dad seemed to be looking directly at me, starring intently. I didn't know if he could see me, and thinking I didn't want to scare them, zoomed back up through their roof. While up in the sky, I looked at the moon - zoomed to and past the moon. The heavens and stars was beautiful, and I kept traveling. It seemed I was just a small ball of light, because sometimes travelling so fast I could see it move in front of me. Looking back to see where the Earth, and where I was, it was so small and a thought occurred to me.

If I loose sight of the Earth, I am lost. So I kept my sight on the Earth, zoomed back fast, saw the USA, Texas, the highways, my house, and with a big breath and sigh of relief raised up off the floor and said ... What the Hell was That???

A few days after my wife returned from her visit, we had a newspaper in hand and went to a phone booth to call ads. At the first phone booth I put a dime in, and coins started pouring out into my hands. I ran back to the car holding them in my t-shirt saying go, go, go to the next 7-11 down the street. I was so excited and my wife was scared. Then she got out to make a call, and when she put in a dime, coins poured out into her hands as well.

When I saw that, tears started rolling down my face. When she god back into the car, I said - I have something to confess. I asked her about a certain night when they had chicken to eat with green beans, her Dad was wearing a white t-shirt sitting at the dinner table, I described what she was wearing, her brother was wearing, and what was on TV. She said, stop it - you're scarring me. I said, that's not all. Afterward I asked the "cosmic consciousness", whatever is out there, and if it was real, I want to see money literally pouring into my hands .. and my wife's also.

I had almost forgotten about that, until I saw her at the pay phone. It dawned on me what I had asked for, and it had to wait till she came back for it to happen. So again I asked, I don't if that was good or evil, how can I tell. The thought came to me, I am alpha and omega. I pondered that for awhile. It dawned on me that it meant, the first thought into your mind is from God. The Bible does say, Be still and Know that I am God. Perhaps this is why meditation is so important. But to quite the mind is a difficult task to accomplish.

For a while afterward, I didn't even have to wear a watch. I would simply ask - What time is it. Recently, there was on the news a young girl was missing. I paused an asked - where is she. I blurted out to my wife, they will find her dead and her car submerged. The next night, on the news, they showed the black Cadillac being drawn out of a pond close to where she was last seen. Her body was still inside.

Believe it - we are all connected, as we are already in eternity. Only currently we are experiencing this temporary life as a mortal.
