A tool for self-research, the OOBE enables people to know who they really are— that is, they're not just the physical body but a consciousness in evolution. The OOBE and its applications Whilst it is important that the sensations associated with the OOBE along with myriad other related phenomena are studied, identified and understood, it is essential that they be examined as part of a larger context that properly acknowledges the value of the experience. What precisely, then, is the value of the OOBE? The real purpose of the OOBE is to precipitate major personal evolution by providing individuals with opportunities to perceive first-hand the invisible, yet real, nonphysical dimensions with which they interact all the time. A tool for self-research, the OOBE enables people to know who they really are—that is, they're not just the physical body but a consciousness in evolution. During OOBEs, as the consciousness leaves the physical brain and manifests in the brain of the extraphysical body (where the memory of one's previous lives resides) there is an increased proba- bility of recalling past lives and, therefore, of furthering our under- standing of evolution, the process of physical birth and death and the cycle of successive lives.
