Ahhhh, I could listen to you talk like this for ever. I have to tell that when you have a concious out of body experience it really screws with your ideas of what 'is' and 'isn't' you. I mean, to actually get up out of yourself, walk across the room and look back at yourself lying there and feel both of yourselves as a physical entity is most strange, most strange indeed.
Back when I was young I really wanted to study philosophy but something inside told me that I would loose myself inside my head. But I just love it. I love the theory and the concepts and constructs simply for their own sake. With 20/20 hindsight, not doing it was a mistake - a biggy, but such is life, it's only one of many. Thank you for the way you are able to explain things so that even a dope like me can understand them. It's a gift, an uncommon gift.
Have you ever seen the movie "Altered States". In it William Hurt uses a sensory depravation cell. Well I used to use one sometimes as much as 6 times a week. I spent a whole night in one once in 2 hour stints. Talk about a serious brain trip. It's quite amazing what happens when all external stimuli are removed -AMAZING.
Now get back to work =0)
