It took an OBE to know the meaning of life.

I heard about this really smart/educated and really good man who died and came back to life during a surgery.

He said that when he was dead, extremely difficult equasions came to him with easy. All the knowledge in the world was right in front of him.

He said, it is not what we know that is most important, but how we have treated others and how much love we have for others that will matter when we die.

I get such a sweet feeling when I think about his story.

That's more of a NDE rather than an OBE. The difference is that an OBE is linked to everyday life while an NDE occurs only near death. It has been suggested that the OBE is a way that the body practices dying, I for one find no real evidence in that but throw it out there all the same.

The body has to practice dying. That's new to me, but interesting.

Yes it's just another word realy. Astral travel mostly the ocult version of controled OBEs. Most OBEs by nature are non induced and occur spontaneously. Also closely related but defined seperate would be remote viewing.
