NewScientist study demonstrates OBEs all in the mind
    #7327169 -

An article on NewScientist.com came out today, which apparently proves that Out of Body experiences are all in the mind.

Here is the link: http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn12531-outofbody-experiences-are-all-in-the-mind.html

Quote:
By deliberately scrambling a person's visual and tactile senses, it is now possible to give them an "out-of-body" experience.


The video that accompanies the article should be watched, it is very interesting.

So, now that an Out of Body experience can be reproduced in a studio, does this mean that it is one less experience we can treat as mystical or cosmic?

I think it is important not to confuse cause and correlation.

There is now known a part of the brain that triggers OBEs. When it's stimulated with a mild electric current, it causes a full blown OBE on demand.

Still, it's all imagined. The subject can never pass a test to verify that they're actually leaving their body; identifying an object that would only be visible from above the bed, for example.

1) You can't get married to your spouse who is the same sex as you.
2) You can't have an abortion no matter how much you don't want a child.
3) You can't have a certain plant in your possession or you'll get locked up with a rapist and a murderer.

4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.
