Verified Out-of-Body Perception In Near-Death Experiences contradict your fantasy.

Your link is worthless because an "out of body experience" is logically impossible. Our perception itself is bodily so we cannot perceive outside our body. It's literally impossible. Unless you argue that our entire bodies and experience is an illusion and it's all in our mind... but that kind of monist solipsism is indistinguishable from everything being bodily and our thoughts being physical along with everything else.
Literally, an "out of body experience" makes no sense. We are bodies... whether we're physical bodies or mental bodies. Our perception is part of us: we cannot perceive of being outside ourselves because if we do that then what we start to perceive is our self... so we're not outside ourselves.
TL;DR: Our self being outside our self is a logical impossibility... therefore out of body experiences are logically impossible.
Unless you define more clearly what you actually mean... because a literal "out of body" or "out of mind" or "out of self" experience are all, literally speaking, logically impossible. What do you actually mean? Any so-called "evidence" can mean anything unless you first clearly define your premise.
Body-mind is pure matter while the consciousness is not.
The fact that during a lifetime the two are stuck together doesn't mean that they have to be stuck together even when the body-brain die.
Where is the evidence that when the body-brain die also the consciousness is bound to follow the rotting body to the dogs?
Would you follow your old car to the wrecker and be destroyed as well or would you get out and get a new car so you can continue your journey to your destination?
You never thought about that AL, did you?
