Default Good point

Yes quite right, that an OBE implies the existance of is not that rigorous. It is just that when you get reports from people near to death saying that they seemed to be floating above their bodies is rather consistent with the completely irrational belief that we have a soul that leaves our body when it dies. I accept that it is a long way from proving it. It is just that for me personally the consistent nature of reports of OBEs was the biggest challenge to my reason based world view. This research has removed that challenge.
