   From hermes:   
      
   It sounds to me that you a pursuing the right goal for the wrong reason.   
   Your neighbour may be out of his body all the time.   
      
    (please see original post, otherwise we'll get one of those huge   
   posting that can be such a pain.)

   From MikeH:   
   I, too have read the Robert Monroes books and I bought the Hemi-Sync Support   
   for Journeys out of the body CD's (I have not yet started on them)   
      
   My thoughts which prompted my initial enquiry were that whatever happens   
   when one dies, will happen anyway, whatever one believes. IF, however, there   
   is continued consciousness when one dies (The Afterlife?) AND oobe's are   
   possible (visiting whatever the Afterlife is while alive?), THEN I may be   
   able to create a condition that would mean that I could initiate oobe's even   
   though my brain had ceased to function due to a severe stroke, because my   
   "true" consciousness is not dependent upon brain activity, possibly. That's   
   what I'm not sure of. Any ideas, anybody? i.e. Is there a level of partial   
   brain dysfunction which inhibits mental activity in THIS world AND stops   
   oobe's, thus leaving one with the worst of both worlds?
