Question?

[Arkilogue]

Amazing that a drug would recreate the experience of being out of my body, physically looking down on it with sharper visual acuity than while in body, with greater depth, stillness and space of internal thought.

What's the difference between a brain experiencing these things and one influenced by a chemical to believe it is? How would you recognise the difference, from the brain's perspective?

Very easily and I'm glad you asked. This answer is also for everyone one else saying it was all a drug hallucination: It ended when I decided to reenter my body.

And it was literally like switching mediums: The OBE state was like mental air, everything was clear and I could see for miles. When I decided to stay on the planet and reenter my body, it was like slipping back under water (literally and figuratively) I slipped back into my life/personality/dream of being "me" and the clarity was gone.

What drug goes from full strength experience to zero, when you decided it does?

I knew this guy in college who took shrooms on Halloween once, and became utterly convinced that he was dead.  It ruined his whole night.

Did it end went he decided he was alive?
