[QUOTE="Harkiran Kaur, post: 205638, member: 18224"] The very implication of what NDE / OBE are, warrants a look at what the 'soul' is. In its simplest explanation, it's that part of us which is nonphysical and exists independent upon the physical body. Whether or not you believe that anything exists independent of the physical body is irrelevant. That is the idea of what we are looking at when examining the idea of NDE / OBE. Some people may have different ideas of what that entails and that is dependent upon how 'real' we also consider the physical to be. In Sikhi, There is only ONE Universal soul - Ik Onkar, Waheguru, Akal Purakh. Only ONE consciousness or awareness and all of us are actually that ONE playing different parts. This makes sense if you think of the Universe as one single 'field' of energy. Like the radiowaves in the air. They don't produce music until a receiver tunes in on a specific station and then wow we hear music! But until the antenna intercepts those radiowaves and sends them to the receiver, they are just waves. Pure frequency. Vibration. That pure frequency IS Creator. And it's aware. But being formless, the only way it can experience itself is through its own creation... turning frequency into form... tuning into this reality and viewing things from the perspective of a character in that reality. But it's all just a television show, or radio station and once the receiver is switched off... it goes back to being pure frequency. Ask yourself when you turn off the radio, did the song cease to exist? It's still there playing... Think of the DJ as being Waheguru. Think of this reality as the radiowaves (pure frequency) that you only realize while you are tuned in to it. It's an advanced program... like virtual reality. You can interact same as in a 3d video game! But when your game ends, you the player have only tuned out of this reality and back into the pure frequency form. This is 'soul'. And this description is not far off because we know looking deep into reality that everything solid, really is just energy at a slow state of vibration. Our separate identities form because we wrongly assume we are the identity of this physical body. We have forgotten that we are the actor behind the costume so to speak. Or the dreamer instead of the dream. (funny how these analogies are used in Gurbani! Coincidence??) OBEs and NDEs glimpse into this reality that you are more than the physical ego identity you associate with. You see a glimpse of the larger picture. Harry Ji asked before what good do these experiences do, if they don't help THIS life and reality? Fair question, but what if THIS reality... the physical one is NOT the point? The point is the much larger picture from the perspective of ONEness. The ways to get to that perspective require living in harmony with all that is.
