Greetings, i am fairly new here so go easy on me!

My understanding of things so far is that when you lie down to have an OBE the fact that your body is in that position somehow helps to have the OBE. Whereas if you sit in a meditation posture there is less likelihood that you will go out of your body?

I ask this because i have been reading yoga material that says that if you sit with your back straight and intone a mantra to concentrate on and lift your gaze slightly so that you are staring into the darkness behind closed eyes slightly above the normal straight gaze (ie the third eye point), the energy of your astral body will rise to the pineal gland and you will behold the spiritual eye. THe spiritual eye manifests in such a way that if you get it correctly it should look like a golden ring around a blue colour with a white 5 pointed star in the centre. This is according to the material i have been reading. THe purpose of this is to penetrate your consciousness through this spiritual eye into the star to get cosmic consciousness. Cosmic consciousness represents God beyond duality in an infinite oneness consciousness of bliss.

What i want to know is if anyone here knows anything about this? THe spiritual eye is like the NDE tunnel. It seems like if people are interested in God they wouldn't fiddle with OBE.

To make it more clearer, the spiritual eye looks like a tunnel because you are looking inner dimensionally through your brain and down your spine, which means you are looking through the chakras. light at the third eye is also accompanied by sound, which is the sound of the chakras or OM vibration.
