Anyway one the night of my out of body experience I had just gotten to the bar. I picked a stand up table in the corner of the room. where it was dark and isolated hadn't had a drink that day but was looking forward to the ones that I knew where just a few seconds away. only problem. had to watch my money. nothing worse that running out of cash and still wanting more booze. Anyway I ordered my drinks...and there they were...sitting on the table in front of me...full and I took a look at the bar before picking up that first glass...and suddenly realized that the bar was so far away that I would be sitting here without a drink for a few minutes after finishing these. and felt quite upset about that...

The next thing I know...I am suspended above the ceiling...about 30 feet at least it seemed so) above the floor of the bar, and my attention is fixed on the other end of the rectangular room...All I can see is the color...the smiles. the gayety.....people talking and enjoying each others company...all dressed so colorfully.....Really enjoying themselves in the light. Well now I begin the pan the room and slowly am focused on the dark part...I can see a couple. almost in the shadows, sitting at one table...a person in darkness sitting alone...and a few others similarly scattered throughout my part of the room. All of a sudden I am drawn to where I am...an it is like an eddy. swirling down and down darker and darker...beyond black. the blackest of black places. Then I'm back in my body. It wasn't scary...never gave it a second thought. the experience was as natural as breathing in and out. Than for some reason. I turned and left the room...never wanting another drink...never wanting to hit another human person.

  This explanation will never really do the experience justice...nor the ones that happened since. but I have  never heard of a person having an out of body experience standing up wide awake. Guess it happens though....anyway. have have not wanted to raise my hand in anger or desired a drink since
