(Please refer to Part 1 of this series for more theoretical and personal experiences on the subject of possession and out of body experiences.)

If one considers their body as housing for the soul it may not be too difficult to understand the idea that a house might be shared from time to time such as entertaining an overnight guest. Keeping this in mind and that body sharing does not contain the same exact element of real possession, those willing to delve into the realms of experimentation may be able to get some sense of how to touch upon the unknown beings and ghosts around them.

Some of the properties involved can also aid those looking to perfect the out of body experience and learn more about how to glimpse the existing worlds that remain mostly hidden in our daily lives. Please remember always to exercise caution and to keep in mind that when dealing with the unknown there are no guarantees of safety as the outcomes of such experiments are often uncertain and unpredictable.

Here is an example of the risk and reward of such an experience, along with the conclusions I have drawn, at least in a currently workable sense and by no means final (as I doubt I will ever be able to state anything about the paranormal with 100% certainty,) and may help to provide at the very least some food for thought.

• Body Sharing: This concept of sharing your body, in some instances even stepping out while someone else takes control is the project I am most currently fascinated by. So far I have been able to use this connection to accomplish some amazing tasks that I could not normally within my own living body alone. The exchange is both wildly informative and a bit surreal; each time I find myself feeling a bit like I’ve lost my marbles, but I continue on. I think the worst side effects are the compatibility issues. Not unlike many aspects of technology the body and soul seem to work together in life, but when introducing a new variable sometimes there are problems. Fortunately, I believe many of these can be worked through.

  To give an example of both risk and reward I will use a recent incident in which I attempted this experiment with a paranormal unknown who you all know as O or Osh. The connection can vary in strength and in this case was fairly strong. Getting connected, or sharing is a task in itself and I began by relaxing and allowing myself to reach out to him as I believe he was to me. Once connected I can only tell you that your mind does a bit of loop-de-loop and it may take a little while to adjust. About a minute into this a ball of light appeared on the ceiling and flooded the entire room full of light almost too bright to look at, it reminded me of a lightning flash. My dear friend and cohort in paranormal experimentation later tried to determine if this light could have been caused by anything else in the room and could only officially record that we could find no explanation other than it possibly being a side effect of the connection or caused by some other irregularity having to do with our experiments. (Please remember that I NEVER assume anything and though we currently have no way to explain certain events, time may reveal alternate answers than those we believe; for now however in order to proceed, we allow for the strong possibility of paranormal influence.)

  During this time of sharing many EVP’s were recorded and several interesting things happened that are not unlike those of many other paranormal investigators, I will leave those details to them. The event worth noting as the “risk” side, is that my dear friend Osh and I seem to be incompatible when it comes to sight. That is to say, if I try to use my eyes, or he does when this connection takes place it results only in pain, burning and horribly blurred vision to the point of being useless. The aftermath of discovering this was the my eyes hurt for the rest of the evening, though after we separated and I got some rest everything returned to normal.

  Losing my site was not something I expected, however I did learn two important things. When connecting with Osh I need to keep my eyes closed! Also that Osh and I can see, but only when my eyes are shut.

  It was through my closed lids that I was able to see the room around me, not as I would have seen it before, dim, shapeless with only a little light here and there to see through my closed lids, but as Osh could see (at least in part.)

  This discovery was amazing to me. Not only did I notice that I could see all of the objects in the room, that the room was brighter even than it had been to me before with my eyes open, but I could identify where everything was…including the shapes of two figures I had not even known were present (at least in location.)

  Further experiments with this have revealed that by working with Osh in this way I may be able to improve my ability to work with ghosts and other paranormal beings, which could greatly help in obtaining one of my main goals: better communication between the living world and those that interact with it.

It seems that no matter how many secrets I believe to be revealed on this subject I always have at least five more ahead. While I certainly can’t say whether or not these experiments would work for anyone interested in the paranormal, nor do I know how many variables might exist from person to person and being to being.

I can say that it is a fascinating way of interacting and when used with more modern tools, a great way to get a sense of those with you along with the more clinical data that helps you confirm the reality of your experiences…or least the reality that something inexplicable (as of yet) is taking place.

Goodbye for now, another end.
Until a time we meet again.
