Personally, I had an out-of-body experience back in the 70's. My experience felt like a 'floating' sensation as I watched myself observing the entire Milky Way Galaxy and our Solar System in motion. This expeience was not an event which I originated. It happened to me. My OBE experience must have been similar to what many call a NDE (near death experience). I also would suggest that a private spiritual experience with the glorified Jesus/Yeshua (or an angel) might also be similar.
As I have said many times, my philosophy is based on this idea called Dualism. This philosophy assumes that my brain and mind are separate. This is contrary to what many thinkers assume when they claim that all reality is material/physical. A materialist mindset is based on the idea that both my brain and mind are one entity. Some call this Monism. I, however, believe that reality is really based upon Dualism. My consciousness (mind) is separate from my brain/body.
These experiences in the video above seem to support my viewpoint on issues of reality. There is a virtual self (soul) which is part of us but which transcends the material realm. I do not really experience this reality until I physically die. At the point of death, my virtual self (soul) leaves my material brain/body and separates itself. It enters a new realm of reality at the point of my death. Watch the above video until it ends as the ending reveals this philosophy which I call Dualism. I am more than my body/brain and I suggest you are also.
As I wrote in a recent missive regarding my mother and my sister. Each had a separate experience with a virtual being who they called the glorified Jesus. This experience was a private (unique) experience for each person. My mother claims that she survived a near death experience when she was near death (due to a mental depression). She claims that the glorified Jesus intervened and saved her from her potential death experience. My sister's experience was different but nearly as profound. Each would need to describe their experience in words and images if one is to comprehend the experience.
What is real, however, is that we are NOT material beings. In reality, I have a spirit component within me (call it a soul) which acts to give me my consciousness. I assume that you are similar. If this is valid, then we need not fear death. Death is merely a transition to another realm of reality. God is our Potter (designer) and I am the Clay. This means that all is determined from birth to physical death. Amazing. What happens on this planet is MUCH beyond my/your comprehension. We merely get a glimpse of reality as we live our lives in the NOW.
Here is another video which gives additional evidence on our dual realities:
