When I was 11 years old I was Laying on a sofa and watching the dust spores drift in the sun beams coming through the window over my head. It was very peaceful and beautiful. Then I started to drift up and backward out of my body till i could see the whole room. I continued to drift away from the room till it was a small dot in a grey nothingness. When I thought I was going to leave forever I got frightened and wanted to return.

The next thing I knew I was looking at whiteness, just whiteness-- I looked around and discovered that I was floating just a slight distance away from what appeared to be a gigantic white cliff. As I continued to look at this cliff it turned out to be the sheet hanging over the edge of the sofa where I had been laying before. When I realized that; suddenly I was back in my body again. Having had that experience I realized that thinking had nothing to do with a brain as I had been perceiving and thinking and experiencing while completely away from my body.

Whoooeeee!!
