An Out-of-Body Experience (OBE) is a sensation of consciousness leaving the physical body. It is a phenomenon often reported by individuals with psychic abilities or those undergoing near-death experiences. OBEs are a subject of study within Parapsychology.1
In the context of the Remote Viewers narrative, several key figures reported experiencing OBEs:
-
Skip Atwater had out-of-body experiences as a teenager, sometimes using this ability to "float" to distant locations, which contributed to his interest in the paranormal.1
-
Ingo Swann claimed to have OBEs and even used them to view objects hidden in a laboratory, which was one of the feats that brought him to the attention of Hal Puthoff at SRI.1
-
Pat Price also had OBEs, which he claimed to use for psychic spying, drifting around the globe at night to perceive events. His ability to perform "Scanex" (scanning-extended) remote viewing, an eyes-closed altered-state form of psychic spying, is related to OBEs.1
-
Joe McMoneagle experienced a profound OBE during his near-death experience in 1970, where he found himself standing upright, looking down at his physical, dying body. This experience significantly enhanced his psychic abilities.1
