The fact is that you know you existed five years ago, and you know you exist today. Although you still exist, you know that the body you had five years ago does not exist today. Therefore, you know that your existence is not dependent on the existence of any one body you may have on at any particular moment—whether it is a “baby” body, an “adolescent” body, an “old” body, or whatever.

For thousands of years, sages have taught various methods of physical exercises and meditations that are conducive to bringing about an out-of-body experience.

==========
An out-of-body experience may help a person who is immersed in bodily consciousness, who is very cynical, who is without faith in the teachings of past sages and scripture, or who is unable to understand his nonmaterial essence through various methods of analytical study and meditation. This direct experience may jolt him out of his bodily consciousness and thus out of his false identification with the body. This, in turn, can awaken in him a sincere longing for a deep, spiritual purpose in life.
