Something like that. I'm just spiritual, but not religious. There is no god. You're your own god.
Once you experience leaving your body, there's nothing anyone could say to change your mind. "You crazy, that didn't happen."
Imagine waking up outside your body. It happens to me all the time. It's scary. I have a deep fear that I may get locked outside my body, or someone may take over it. (While possible, it's very rare.)
A movie called 'insidious' covers it quite well. Great movie and very accurate. On the astral plain, you are god. Imagination is your limit. It's the reason I got into spiritual meditation, lucid dreaming, and astral projection. Unlimited power. Who wouldn't want that?
When you die, you can choose to create your own universe, and live there. Reality or real life is hard to alter. You can't spawn a billion $,£,€, or ¥ with your mind here... Life would get boring fast if everyone could do it.
( Dreams are just temporary universes created by your mind. Lucid dreaming is just absolute control over your dreams. Inducing wet dreams are possible, but hard to master. Just throwing that out there *wink* )
