OK, in my first Yoga class, out of nowhere, I was on the floor meditating and I saw this shape that you described. I had never seen anything like this before. Except, it wasn't blue, it was violet, surrounded by gold light. The center was somewhat like a star, though with may more than 5 points. It was like looking at an actual star, like you'd see in the night sky. I still see this thing every night, though I really have no idea what it is, what it means, or how it is used (if at all). It does look like a tunnel though, with an actual sense of movement through the center. There is no sound, however.
I've had 3 or 4 near out of body experiences, where I've felt myself lift away from my body. I don't think God and OBE's have anything to do with each other. An OBE is a way to experiment with your powers as a consious and creative being. Will it bring you closer or further from God? It will bring you closer or further from your body. Everyone can do it and it allows us to explore the astral plane, which again, doesn't necessarily have anyting to do with God. It is just another place, another neighborhood that we can explore.
Now, if you feel as if all realities are projections of a cosmic consciousness (God's Mind), then you might consider the OBE a better way of exploring that territory, though the same can be accomplished while awake and in the physical world.
What mantra are you speaking about? Is it something you could post here? I'd like to try it out!
