Inner self and OBE--distinctions and similarities

I have thought about the distinction between Eckhart Tolle's path and the OBE path. My experiences are as following:

There is a split point where the two path separates.

The similarity is that you need inner energy to achieve either paths. You need to decided which route to go down to, using the energy you come up with.

The fastest route to get into it, whether it's innerself, or OBE, is to immediately make yourself into two parts, or two "I". Don't think about what they are, just feel them. But one of them will be the observer.

Stay that way and sustain it. It takes a while to settle down, but you will settle down to that stillness.

In Eckhart's path, once we are in the stillness, in order to sustain it, we need to process many layers of our sensations and emotions, which includes alot of deep thoughts and existances. The results of such process is the true forgiveness and self love and universal love.

In OBE attempt, this observing part of "I" will grow stronger and into trance, but you need to stay very still, as if your another part of "I" disappear. I have found that then I might past out for a few seconds or a few minutes, then another level of consciousness appears. In OBE, it's not only physical. The consciousness level is another key factor. Once we get into OBE or astral realm, we will encounter scenes and beings that play out in the realm which responds to our thoughts and emotions. In this path, we process our existance in a movie like setting and we are the characters. There will be learning expereinces along the way. Beings and guides will appear to guide us. The end result will also be spiritual growth and self love and universal love.

I have found that the OBE and lucid dreaming certainly contribute to my confidence and well being in real life as well. These experiences certainly make me more open minded, aware, sensitive, observant, connected, and strong on my spiritual growth. I know myself and love myself even more.
