From an early age I learned that we are not the body but something that stores the real self which is our souls. I wasn't able to put it into words like that, but I had a higher understanding of the spirit self. Back in the nineteen seventies doctors removed troublesome tonsils. I was five years old and apparently a little apprehensive about getting my tonsils removed; I figure because as I laid there on the surgery table while the doctor proceeded to remove my tonsils I got out of my body and went around to the other side of the table where he was proceeding to remove my tonsils.
It came natural to me to just walk out of the body in a time of great concern for the outer form that housed my spirit. I stood there looking at the doctor that was giving great care to me. I remember details of what he did, what he used and the tray next to him. I stood there watching the whole thing until he left the room.
That memory remained withe me my whole life. It was something I couldn't ever forget. It's not everyday that you are able to consciously recall stepping out of the body and turning around and viewing the form that housed you; unless you were critically ill, or you died.
That memory wouldn't be the last time I was able to Soul Travel. The second time I was aware of being outside of my body and literally "seeing" was when I was about seven years old. I laid there in my bed watching the wind blow the leaves on a tree, that was in front of my bedroom window. It was as though I was in a form of meditation because my body was so relaxed.
Just then I opened my eyes, to the exact same scene before me. Confusion was mine, because I didn't understand at all how I could have been watching the wind blow the leaves on that beautiful tree as I laid there in bed, and see the same thing I saw as my body was asleep? I knew in my heart and mind that I some how was able to see with eyes closed as clear as day but I couldn't explain it or put it into words.
My body might have been in a sleep state but my spirit body - my soul was wide awake, enjoying the view. I think what might have happened was that I was levitated slightly over my body, or was in it but was astrally seeing outside of it in a literal sense because I was seeing out of my body from my soul's vision of seeing. That experience at the time was put in a block of information categorized as unexplained and I continued forth in my journey living.
Later on as an adult I reflected back on those memories and I wanted to be
