For a few years after finding Eᴄᴋᴀɴᴋᴀʀ, I made a concerted effort to prove to myself that Soul Travel was real. Every night I would get out of my body in the wee hours of the morning.
I would try to wake a family member or leave some physical proof of my out-of-body travels. This went on for some time until I got tired of trying. I had not yet realized that Eᴄᴋᴀɴᴋᴀʀ points the way to Soul Travel experiences for deeper, spiritual purposes.
One morning, at about 3:30 a.m., I was in the midst of a dream. I was on the steps of a courthouse or government building, chasing a small, reddish-haired boy up the steep steps and around the railing.
We played chase like this for a couple of minutes until I found myself at the side of my bed, looking at my own and my wife’s body asleep under the covers.
This was amusing. When I looked to my left, I noticed the ten-year-old boy from the dream standing beside me at the side of the bed.
While we were standing there, my wife, Janice woke up in the physical. She looked at me with the strangest expression. The next thing I knew, I was being shaken from a deep sleep.
In my grogginess, I mumbled something like, “What are you doing? I was having the most amazing dream. It had something to do with the courthouse steps and . . .”
Janice interrupted me, “Never mind your dream. I just saw you standing at the side of the bed, out of your body!”
“No Kidding?” I replied, still staring at the inside of my eyelids. Finally it registered. “Really?” I asked.
Then I said, now coherent enough to quiz her, “Was anybody with me?” (I thought she’d never guess this one in a million years.)
“Yes. A small boy with red hair was standing next to you.”
I was amazed! Not only did Janice confirm that I was out of my body, but she also described my companion! We discussed this incident only for a minute; then we both rolled over. However, I was determined to repeat this wonderful feat.
I concentrated on a deep humming in my head as I left my body again. This time I appeared at the opposite end of the bed. Not yet asleep, Janice sat up startled in bed and stared at my nonphysical form. I tried to speak to her, but all I could manage to do was gesture that I was fully aware of what I was doing and had complete presence of mind.
Later that morning we discussed this experience. She remembered seeing me and described my gestures. I decided that my personal keys to achieving out-of-body clarity included focusing on the Sound Current and relaxing the mind.
This particular experience proved to me that the dream worlds, the physical world, and the out-of-body state are linked by Divine Spirit. As Soul, we can move quite easily among these different levels of awareness.
