Chapter 3 Out-of-Body Experience
I remember that day, you know, as a man from the north, I like rain just as my friends in the south like snow, and I always feel special to cherish it. After I had survived twelve nights, I was feeling a little sluggish that day. It was originally a feeling of being tired to death, but the rain was really exciting. I sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of my home and watched the raindrops slide down the night sky.
I have loved rain since I was a child, and I still remember when I lived in a bungalow when I was a child, whenever it rained, I always opened the door, moved a small bench and sat in front of the porch, sitting quietly in front of the rain curtain and watching the raindrops fall on the bluestone slab in the yard and break into multiple petals. In such a daze, I can always be in a daze all afternoon. Today, I don't know why, but sitting upstairs gives me the feeling I had when I was a child that I haven't felt for a long time.
The coffee pot on the coffee table had emptied me, I didn't turn on the lights in the living room, and I didn't know how deep the night was, except for a few lonely street lamps, the building was already pitch black.
I felt very tired, maybe because of the coffee, and although I felt very tired, I still didn't want to sleep. I was so tired that I remembered that I had to go to work tomorrow, so I decided to go to bed and lie down and go to sleep naturally. Although I haven't been able to find the feeling of ghost pressing, I really can't hold on today, so let's try again tomorrow.
When I walked into the bedroom, my wife slept so peacefully, so I lay down gently beside her, afraid of waking her up. Maybe it's because I've been sitting for too long, and I feel so comfortable lying on the bed that my bones are crispy. The moment my head touched the pillow, the sudden relaxation of my body made my tiredness disappear completely, and my mind was very clear.
Maybe it's because they've been in the night for too long, and their eyes have adapted to the darkness, and everything in the room can be seen so clearly. Thinking about this quiet rainy night, I don't know why, I suddenly wanted to grab my wife's hand and sleep quietly. So, I went in the direction of my wife's hand, but I didn't touch anything. No, before I went to bed, I visually measured that I was less than 20 centimeters away from my wife, but I couldn't help but grab anything with my long hand, which made me chuckle in my heart.
I turned my head slowly, and my wife was lying next to me peacefully. However, looking at the silhouette of his wife, he was shaking all the time, and it felt as if she was wearing a bag like her skin on her body, although it was tightly sealed, but the outline was not so clear. I jerked my head up and looked at me to grab my wife's hand, and sure enough, my hand went through my wife's hand and couldn't catch anything. Suddenly, my body gave birth to a chill, and I felt all my hairs stand up. Oh my God, is my soul really coming out?
I got up, my hands propped up on the bed, my body was about 45 degrees angle to the bed, my head was spinning rapidly, no, now this is my soul, I go, if it is a soul, how can I still sit on the bed like this. Didn't you say that you want to press the bed before you go out of the body, and the back of your head will shook, why did I come out so easily, so where did the back of the head slap go?
I couldn't help but gently turn my head in the direction of my wife, she was still the same, the contour line was shaking all the time, and it didn't feel so real. At this time, my mind was extremely clear, and I felt that my body was also extremely transparent, and it felt like I had just had a very good night's sleep, and I stretched out after getting up, and my body was light enough to go to the sky.
I reached out and pulled my wife again, my hand was always able to pass through her body, and when my hand passed through her body, it always drove her unclear outline out of the body, like a hand passing through a cigarette, but the smoke seemed to have a surface tension, and it could quickly return to its original state after leaving the body. My heart is really excited, I know that I am really out of the body, the hard work pays off, Lao Tzu really TM out.
I stood up as soon as I took off, everything around me was so clear, although there was no light, it didn't affect my vision, but it felt like the world we usually saw was not quite the same. The boundaries of the field of vision are not so clear, and there is a feeling of smoke, as if it has been medicated.
The world seems to be a kaleidoscope, but it is only a single color, brilliant but not dizzying. The whole world is filled with blue light, and this blue light is not the kind of visible light that has a source and a foothold, but it seems that everything is transparent with this blue light. It's these lights that allow me to see everything.
Looking at my feelings at this time from the usual eyes, it is so beautiful, and the accurate expression should be very comfortable. I was so excited that I was out of body, I almost laughed, I was about to jump out of bed, suddenly, I remembered something.
Holy, "I" should be lying there, right? As soon as I thought about it, my heart suddenly jumped wildly, my vision began to blur, and my legs and stomach felt like they were spinning. I quickly squatted down to stabilize my mind, and as my mind calmed down, my vision began to change back to its original brilliant clarity.
I closed my eyes, slowly climbed out of bed, knelt beside the bed, and reached out to gently touch the bed, hoping to touch something to soothe my "wounded heart", after all, I have never seen anyone like myself in my life except looking in the mirror. After touching it a few times, I found nothing. I simply opened one eye slowly, and there was indeed a person lying in front of me, as if it was me.
I stood up and stepped back slightly, and opened my eyes completely, it was indeed me, a real me lying next to my wife, but my appearance looked clearer than my wife's, and the outline was very complete. It's hard for me to describe how I feel at this moment, a feeling of attending my own funeral, which is very terrifying.
However, I soon realized that I was out of my body, and I should be in the state of my soul now, and my body should be like that when I was lying in bed. When I think of this, I'm not so scared.
I looked at the two people lying on the bed, suppressed my excitement, and gently squatted on the side of the bed, watching myself on the bed gasp calmly. I put my fingers in front of my nose lying on the bed, and I felt nothing, not at all the warm breath in my nostrils blowing on my fingers. It's just that compared to the blue environment around me, the body lying on the bed is slightly gray.
After looking at the two people on the bed for a moment, I turned to the floor-to-ceiling window of the bedroom and looked out. As a soul state, I must not have my glasses with me, as a myopia of more than 300 degrees, at this moment I seem to have become a farsighted eye, and the blue raindrops with the red outline line drops outside the window are clearly visible. Although the speed of the landing hasn't changed, I can see every drop of rain. At the moment, I feel like I just want to count the raindrops that pass in front of my eyes, and I don't know where the confidence comes from.
Looking out the window at the rain, I somehow thought of the scene from the movie "The Shawshank Redemption". The actor finally arches out of the sewer like a silkworm chrysalis and stands in the pond, the scene where the rain from the sky slips and washes away the filth around him. That scene was so classic that it became the cover of a movie poster.
As the movie progressed, my mind suddenly turned into the hero of the movie, standing on the roof of the opposite building, feeling the raindrops outside the house like in the picture of the movie lens. As soon as I thought of this, a powerful pull pulled me to the roof of the opposite building, and it was a split second thing, and it didn't give me time to react at all. Before I could recover my senses, I was already standing there, literally standing there. The raindrops pierced through my body and hit the roof of the building, everything was silent, but I could feel the sound of the raindrops hitting the ground so crisply.
It's a strange feeling, as if there is, and as if there is nothing; I can hear it, but I can't hear anything. In normal times, this feeling is quite annoying, but at this moment, my mood is joyful. It's a wonderful feeling, like you're in a spinning kaleidoscope, with brilliant lights and shadows in front of you, constantly changing, but this change of light and shadow doesn't make you feel dizzy. With the change of light and shadow, your head produces beautiful music that is very harmonious with the change of light and shadow, making you feel that the scenery in front of you is more beautiful, which is probably this artistic conception.
In the midst of my intoxication, I suddenly remembered that I was in a state of being out of my body, and theoretically I should be able to go wherever I wanted.
The main difference between the state of being out of the body and the state of sleeping is the connection and continuity of consciousness. Because when people are dreaming, their consciousness is not under your own control, if you can still know what you are awake when your consciousness and body are asleep, then it is not a dream, but out of the body. But that doesn't mean that your dreams and reality aren't connected. Because in psychology, dreams are always depicted as projections of real life, and the formation of dreams is always inextricably linked with reality. It's like if you're sleeping, and your feet aren't covered with a quilt, so the temperature of your feet and body is different, so it's easy to have dreams of stepping on water with your feet in the water. There is also the German chemist Kekule, who pondered the existence of benzene every day, and dreamed that a snake swallowed its tail, so he thought that benzene existed in a ring. Therefore, dreams are sometimes a reflection of reality, and sometimes they are also the answer to things that are difficult to understand during the day.
But out of the body is different, in the state of out of the body, the body is asleep, the consciousness is awake, and the consciousness is continuous with the person when he is awake, so I remember what I thought when I was awake, I remember who I am, and what I want to do.
At this moment, when I realized that I was out of my body, I could go wherever I wanted, and suddenly I really wanted to go back to my hometown. Although they have settled down at their place of work, their parents are still in their hometown and have not moved in with them. In fact, the vast majority of parents in the world are able to sacrifice their place for their children. My parents meant that young people need to have their own space, and it is very easy for me to come and live with me when young people are still immature, which can easily cause conflicts between me and my wife.
And I, although I know my parents' hard work, but I acquiesce to my parents living in my hometown in a bungalow that is not much worse than what I live in now, and I know that I will go to hell in the future.
Thinking of this, I didn't feel sad, and the smiling faces of my parents suddenly flashed in front of my eyes, so peaceful. Thinking about my parents' life's work, I didn't realize that a hot tear actually flowed from my eyes, real tears, because it did not penetrate my body and hit the ground like raindrops outside, but clearly flowed down my cheeks. So, I tried to imagine what my hometown was like, and imagined my parents sleeping by the kang. As my imaginary destination became clearer, the feeling of a powerful pumping force came back to me.
