Do you believe in out of body experiences or Astral Projection?

Soul of Wolf, I'm amazed at you again. I too, have had an interesting experience in the ocean - I was 16 and thought that I could swim while stoned and drunk. I was a great swimmer - better than anyone I knew. I have been swimming since I was a baby. Long story short, I body-surfed right into the curl of a wave, lost my bearings, sucked in enough water to fill my lungs, breathed water for a time, and then began to pass out. I saw a hand in the water, I'd swear it. Someone grabbed my arm and pushed me until I felt the sand under my feet again. Fom there, I "awoke" suddenly, and pushed off the bottom. I stumbled out of the water choking, but alive. And no one had noticed that I was gone! Even the lifeguard had missed it. There is something (someone) even in othe waters of Long Island...and whoever it is seemed to know me. It might have helped that I have swum the same coastline all my life, but - how freaky is that? I am tempted to beleive there are some kind of sentient beings in the ocean that we do not know about - perhaps not water-breathing, but existing on another plane. Makes you think, eh?

It certainly sounds like someone helped you! My first guess is one of your friends manifested for your protection - it happens more often then it is given credit. As all reality is nothing more than a subset of energy, it is not too hard for manifestation to occur in times of distress. I too have experienced a manifestation in a time of extreme duress... It was time to leave. I had been with "Diabla" way too long and buffered her violent nature from the children but now she was becoming additionally criminal and broke into my car to commit check fraud. Neither my daughter nor her half-sister were happy with this mandated departure as the older girl realized, now she would bear the brunt of Diabla's negativity. It was devastating. I made an attempt to stay near the girls by staying at a friend's house for the next two weeks but it wasn't working and I really cannot recall the circumstances of those days. Anyways, I had to go home in order to regroup and figure a way to get the girls out, the half-sister to her father and my girl to me. Devi stated and an emotional wreck is how I drove the long road from Atlanta until I pulled into a gas station to fill up. Immediately I noticed a black man was staring at me from across the parking lot. I pulled to the pump and got out doing my best to compose my thoughts when he walked over. The lack of usual defenses surprised me as did his first words in which he mentioned my daughter's name; an original name I composed from several mythological sources and something NO ONE could ever guess especially someone who I never met and lived hundreds of miles away from anyone who knew us. I sensed what he was and listened as he gave me relevant advice concerning the situation and my current debilitating and destructive thought process. Not surprisingly when I got in my car to leave, I turned to thank him but no one was there. For the record, I have custody of my daughter and the half-sister is safely with her father. I am very grateful for my friend's emergency manifestation and was able to thank him later in spirit. On a fun note, as you mentioned you enjoyed body surfing... let me tell you how I get the big waves whenever I enjoy the surf. Regardless of the tide, I enter the water and begin to challenge the ocean calling it names like "girly man", "sissy" and saying things like, "I thought Neptune was supposed to have a big 'trident' "... soon thereafter bigger waves come... it works EVERY time!

I don't think I would want to actually go too far away from my bed...lol....but I have been thinking of trying to project myself to an old ex's house and to his bed...lolol.....
