The possibility that an out-of-body experience is a reflection of the actual facts of the matter--i.e. that the core "I" is non-material--are of course ludicrous, laughable, unsupportable, unthinkable, and ridiculous, much in the way that new "circulation" theory of Harvey's is. Everyone knows Galen's ancient model of humors and tides is the correct one. Otherwise why would so many physicians use leeches to draw off the bad humors? It's obvious!!
