Simply put, can you gather physical plane information from OBE? Could I find out something new while in OBE and then go confirm it in the physical plane? No theories please, only actual experiences.
This seems to be a very “blurry” area.Ive asked this question before,some say you can,some just post theories.
Your question is tough for me, some people separate OBE and AP while others do not.
My experiences of the two suggest they are different, my few OBEs have been dreamlike and I’ve never been in control of them and I wouldn’t trust my experiences of “the real world” to be accurate.
Where as my APs have always been more vivid and I have been able to confirm with the people I visited what they were doing, as I have been able to confirm for a friend that I was doing what she saw me doing.
Have you tried a reliable experiment? Here’s what I have in mind: There is a number written on a piece of paper near where I sleep. I’ve never seen the number, and I have no idea what it could be. When I achieve OBE or AP, the objective will be to get to the number, memorize its last three digits, then end the projection immediately while repeating the three numbers in my head. When “I” am again in my physical body, I will go see the number and find out whether what I saw in the projection was real.
I’ve never tried an experiment because i’ve only had 3 APs.
For me they were accidental, so it was never tested just confirmed by the persons involved. I can tell you this, my friend was told that her ex had committed suicide shortly after returning to Ireland because he was so upset about her dumping him. She used Astral Projection (at my suggestion) to see if he is alive or not, he was very much alive. She later phoned his sister (the person who originally told her he was dead) and let her know she knew the truth.
Now I trust her completely, but to you she is a total stranger as I am to you.
As far as your experiment goes, if you have no knowledge of the numbers then it should work, for better or worse.
