Descriptions:
Beyond the Body but not Over the Line: NDEs and OBEs
Kimberly Sharp, MSW — http://www.seattleiands.org/htm/afterthelight.htm
Presented at the IANDS 2010 Conference, Sept. 2-4, in Denver, CO
Research has given scant interest to the differences between a near-death experience (NDE) and a non-life threatening out-of-body experience (OBE). This presentation compares the NDE to the OBE from the vantage point of personal experience, including the author’s decades of clinical interviews with adults and children.

When people are ashamed to say jesus is that love,light and our creator it absolutely grieves me.
Was that an OBE ?. Sounds like she is speaking to people with medical knowledge . Others may not understand some of the terms used. She probably knew that the audience would understand her. That's the best I can explain why she spoke it that way. Just my opinion ….
I knew everything about it before even the Yanks knew
Amazing series
They say the cords are only there if you need to seek it and look for it. That's what the great Tom Campbell of the Monroe Institute and some others say. <3
I am the one that started it many years ago when the close encounters of the kind
Very interesting
She goes off on too many tangents. Makes it very difficult to follow the story.
Well done! Thank you.

This woman drives me nuts. Can’t watch her.
I'm not an idiot but this was hard to follow.
My NDE was NOT my death but some one else’s ( I didn’t know the people at all ! I was there as an observer (?)
She is trying to energize with some humor ! ! But this is a serious crowd so no laughing !! I had a NDE some years ago and you NEVER FORGET THAT LOVE ! Blessing be to all !
I wish you were my best friend. Light up that campfire and pass the tequila!
I love hearing these stories, thank you!
This is the best I've seen yet. Just because of the humour, the attitude. The lack of any religion distortion makes it pure, untainted, true, believable. And her zest and enthusiasm, joy, happiness, humour – you see they say from time to time that true life, the soul, etc., is a joyful thing and you'd expect that wouldn't you – but they come back and tell their stories and there's generally what i find to be a fairly obvious lack of effect or is it 'affect' – I mean emotions. I mean what this woman has.
You are such a dear! Thank you for detailing your story….it is critical for many!
I struggled to follow.
The provided differences are not accurate, and are possibly misleading.
It might help to organize this information in an alternative way. A lot of NDE reports begin with an Out of body experience. That first section of those reports do not differ, from OBE's, in respect to awareness of spacetime, or perception of normal world environment. Also multiple NDE's report having a bilocated awareness of what was happening with their physical body, and their out of body perspective, at the same time. Some NDE reports do not go beyond anything more than an out of body experience too; they may report something like I had a heart attach, I was on the ceiling (with or without another presence/being there), and then I was back in my body.
NDE's seem to often go beyond the typical OBE, and sometimes end like an OBE.
OBE's also can go beyond the typical experience of a normal world environment.
It seems to me that near death and out of body experiences both have levels to them. The NDE's more typically go through higher levels.
– Out of body, world environment
– local solor system environment
– outer space environment with…
– other world like environments with ultra vivid energy…
– a personal heaven
– reunion with familiar being's known since forever (before this life).
– and higher levels than these
NDE's are more prone to receiving in experience gifts, and or radically modified awareness (finding their furniture on the ceiling).
I like what she is engaged in, because I have been trying to reconcile too.
Buddhism has a lot to say about this which is almost totally ignored. But there is another body within the body of birth (the corporeal body) called the "manomayakaya" which is a mind-made (manomaya) body (kaya). The Buddha says of it:
"From this body he creates another body, endowed with form, made of the mind, complete in all its parts, not inferior in its faculties. Just as if a man were to draw a reed from its sheath. The thought would occur to him: 'This is the sheath, this is the reed. The sheath is one thing, the reed another, but the reed has been drawn out from the sheath.' Or as if a man were to draw a sword from its scabbard. The thought would occur to him: 'This is the sword, this is the scabbard. The sword is one thing, the scabbard another, but the sword has been drawn out from the scabbard.' Or as if a man were to pull a snake out from its slough. The thought would occur to him: 'This is the snake, this is the slough. The snake is one thing, the slough another, but the snake has been pulled out from the slough.' In the same way — with his mind thus concentrated, purified, and bright, unblemished, free from defects, pliant, malleable, steady, and attained to imperturbability, the monk directs and inclines it to creating a mind-made body. From this body he creates another body, endowed with form, made of the mind, complete in all its parts, not inferior in its faculties." — Samaññaphala Sutta
I watched until 44 minutes along, not a single mention of Jesus! As someone who didn't seem to have been a believer, I have to wonder if this NDE was a satanic deception.
Hard to follow.
arrogant to the lady that ask the question,,, very dysfunctional speaking, .
She has a really cute personality. I enjoy her sense of humor. If you don't have something nice to say, work on yourself cause it's all about you.
Got to check out crazy old baby powder women with too much perfume
I'm going to be looking for her on the other side…then I'm going to move on a bit further. lol!.
"thats a negative experience" like mom told me" I don;t know how you live" and "your life is meaningless" was depressed after that
Extremely useful lecture on the distinction between two powerful experiences. Essential watching!
NDA experience or stand up or wanna be stand up comedian?
U tube kids
I think Kim is drunk.
Thank you
Most touching testimony. Discombobulated description, human experience. It resonated so much with me! No testimony should ever be discounted.
I love HER. She is a bit off topic sometimes but has so much to say.
i want to have sex all the time in heaven.
Oh my…..get on it with it already….I cant continue to listen to this women – if this is what a NDE does to you, ya can keep it lol
Could not follow her at all. Sorry! She was all over the place…
This would be more enjoyable if she stayed on track instead of interrupting herself
