What was that?

[Pilgrim]

I had an experience yesterday, that I can't place.. I actually tried to convince my body that I was dying (read about that technique somewhere online) and was imagining how it would feel like to be dead, I tried to surrender as much as I could and at some point I felt as if I was not in my body anymore.. it's so hard to explain, but as if I was slightly above my body.. and it turned very, very black.. but I was aware of the blackness.. my eyes were closed, but I felt like the blackness increased.. I also got very afraid... but surrendered to the fear.. then the whole experience stopped again. Any ideas?

Sounds maybe like the beginnings of astral projection.

Maybe.

@Pilgrim Apparently you didn't surrender enough to have a full blown breakthrough. If you want Absolute Truth bad enough you will eventually break through that gateless gate and transcend the partitions of the mind.

@Pilgrim That sorta sounds like an experience I had in a sensory deprivation tank.
