There's more than one interpretation to your very real experiences. (But that requires a bit of open-mindedness.)

I guess everyone picks and chooses what they're willing to be open-minded about. It also requires a bit of open-mindedness to consider the possibility that OBE are exactly that... experiences in which the consciousness is not in the body.

I know that I certainly am not open-minded to every possibility (at least not at this time in my journey through life). For instance, I know that I am not open-minded about the idea of engaging in sex with other women. It's ok for anyone else who wants that experience, but it's not for me.

But I am very open-minded about having the experience of accepting (without empirical evidence other than that of my own perceptions) the possibility that consciousness is not dependent upon having a physical body in which to reside.

But as I said before, as far as I'm concerned, all of physical reality is an illusion, including everything that can be "proven" through "empirical evidence" and the "scientific method". It's just that, from my perspective, for reasons of our own, we pick and choose which aspects of the illusion we want to embrace or experience.
