DId your body die while the spirit was out? How can people be alive without spirits?
Hello Just Me,
That is a great question! No, while my spirit was out of it, my physical body did not die. My body was never aware of what happened. It is my spirit that was doing the "experiencing". My best guess answer is that "time" in the spiritual realm does not transpire the same way that time goes by in the physical realm. In fact, as I think on it, those who receive visions describe being carried away in the spirit - but I believe their physical body stays in the physical realm. For instance, when Saul had his road to Damascus experience, those who were with him never mention anything about Saul's body "disappearing".
In a manner of speaking, I think when a person has an OOBE, the physical body experiences a stand-still in time, even though time is still going by in the physical world. I say this because my spirit could see that the police were still talking to my body, though my spirit took a temporary, albeit brief, leave of absence, so to speak. Interestingly, while my spirit was out of my body, my body was not seeing or hearing anything; only my spirit continued to experience its surroundings. Also, both the Head of the Homicide Department, and the detective were completely unaware that anything out of the ordinary had taken place.
Blessings,
