OBE RELATED PHENOMENA BY BOB LEPAK AND ALFRED BALLABENE
This article is written in two parts. In the first, we focus on the hypnagogic state and differentiate between the common and OBE inducing states. The primary focus is on the latter. In particular, we discuss the occurrence of various acoustic and visual sensations, several theories for OBE's, specific visual sensations that may initiate OBE's and present examples of each. In the second part we consider In-the-Body-Experiences (IBE's). We discuss and present examples of partial body separation, the awakening of inner sight, the sensing of voices and ectoplasm.

ASTRAL SIGNPOSTS: THE STAGES OF OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCES BY CHARLES GOODIN
This article focuses on the "experience" part of out-of-body experiences ("OOBEs"). It describes the feelings, sights and sounds common to the process by which the astral body separates either partially or completely from the physical body. It also lists some of the attitudes held by successful OOBErs. Many people new to the process are quite surprised and often relieved to learn that their "strange" experiences are in fact perfectly natural and fairly common. (Hosted externally)
