IN ACHIEVING THE OOBE? We have no hard data to support the premise that any of these have a significant effect on the OOBE. There are a few indicators that lying in the northsouth position does have some effect, which would infer that the earth’s magnetic field may have some bearing on the process. Because it was easily done, the new isolation booth in our laboratory is aligned in a magnetic north-south position. By setting up artificial magnetic fields within the booth, we will be able to equalize or produce a “null” magnetically, much as the astronauts experienced in their moon exploration. Subsequent studies therefore should provide partial answers, at least. QUESTION: IF I LEAVE MY BODY TEMPORARILY, CAN’T SOMEONE ELSE GET IN IT WHILE I’M GONE? If our premise is correct, there is no more possibility of this taking place than there would be during normal sleep If there could be statistics worked up on such possibility, the odds against an occurrence of this sort are far greater than those of your being killed in an auto accident during the coming year. Over the past fifteen years, working with laboratory subjects and program participants, there have been no incidents that remotely could be construed as “possession” or something destructive or uncontrollable. QUESTION: IN YOUR PREVIOUS BOOK, YOU GAVE AN “ANGLE” METHOD FOR GETTING OUT OF YOUR BODY, BUT I CAN’T MAKE IT WORK FOR ME. IS THERE SOMETHING I AM NOT DOING RIGHT? The method described was a very early technique that worked at that time. We have since discovered the many other vital factors that are involved in the process. Also, we currently use other techniques that are easier to understand and perform. Briefly put, it is not quite as simple as envisioned earlier. QUESTION: WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN YOU GET STRANGE ACHES AND PAINS IN YOUR HEAD AND VARIOUS PARTS OF YOUR BODY WHEN YOU TRY TO GO OOB? Generally, it infers unconscious anxieties and concerns that must be sought out and addressed before you can go on to the OOB state. If you are able to get behind or perceive the reason for each one at the level they exist, then release the
