NOWIAM, I am coming from a perspective of free will and dare I say, moral accountability. It is not a matter accepting that there are things that happen in this world that are beyond our control. What is in our control is how we respond to each event.

There are those who follow after "the law of attraction" and say that each person does choose the events that occur in their life, good and bad. There are others who believe that the choices are made by each of us in advance of our life as valuable learning experiences to cultivate our (eternal) souls. There are others who believe that we are held accountable afterward and face the consequences of our actions in reward or punishment. I don't judge why or how a person chooses one belief or the other.

My first point is simply that each person hold themselves accountable while they live. Live with a conscience, exceptional personal values and respect for others. Serve others and not just purpose that provide gain for ourselves. The psyche, the intellect, the mind, one's karma, one's consciousness are within our realm of personal responsibility. Moreover, whatever each of us accomplishes in this life, it is not just by our own actions, it is by the actions of others. (Some of these OBE stories sound like angelic visitations.) Everything we do impacts the lives of others.

These are wonderful stories about OBEs that people are sharing not just from their conscious and unconscious minds but their hearts. I am sensing so much love and vulnerability being expressed. These are life-changing events that have transformed the meaning and purpose of their lives. This is more than a process of our psyches to be analyzed. OBE's push a person out of their "self" orientation. In as such, they challenge the "ME" culture of self-indulgence. This is also the "spirit of Avalon," (nod to Project Avalon) where King Arthur is taken to transcend his suffering and heal from the wounds of battle.

This is a revolution of the soul, both in singularlity and in communion with other souls. It isn't about governments or philosophies, etc. The paradigm shift being discussed in these forum boards runs very deep. It transcends our issues and discussions. It requires making choices not by our conscious or unconscious minds but in who and what we are, the essential quality and nature of our being. It doesn't require mastery of secret teachings and practices. It is a matter of waking up every morning and asking, "who am I and whom and/or what do I serve?"
