Chatpilot,
Yeah, so I am of two minds about the event, either it was a hallucination, a dream, or an actual event where I cast myself out of my own body into some extruded astral substance. The reason I lean towards actual experience is because of the qualitative "realness" of the experience.
It amuses me that people are going on about things that are directly addressed in the articles I posted, such as gasses escaping the lungs, urine and feces leaving the body. These are all talked about in the Snopes article. Unfortunately none of them are hard evidence and I have already admited as much. The name of this thread and the OP should lead anyone to understand that I went looking for evidence and found none except a goat path pioneered by Dr. Macdougall that may be a dead end.
Void,
In my OP I address why I believe and it is based on personal experience that is hard for me to ignore. I certainly do not expect anyone else to believe in a soul, nor do I claim that I have objective evidence although I admit this thread would be much more fun if I WAS asserting that souls are objectively provable.
