I’m only marking this with your post because I’m tired and I think you are silly. You have neither smelled burning flesh nor have you smelled rotting flesh. Either way, it’s not pretty. I have smelled both and neither are pleasant.

My mom said it happened to her when she was on the operating table. And she doesn’t believe in conspiracy theories!

RE: Matthews, Olbermann and Maddow have been brain dead for years, only they dont know it or refuse to acknowledge it.
Here’s a classic one minute scene with Bob Hope almost 70 years ago. He must have been thinking of these guys when he made his classic remark.
One of the best and most truthful lines in movie history.

57% encountered deceased relativesAnd they all wanted to know when I was going to pay them the money I owed.

Have read all the earlier classics of the genre.
I think Moody broke new ground—I think he was the one to first research the suicide etc. side of things.
Some of the books are far too NEW AGEY for me.

Im only marking this with your post because Im tired and I think you are silly. You have neither smelled burning flesh nor have you smelled rotting flesh. Either way, its not pretty. I have smelled both and neither are pleasant. 1) The Thermos reference was what we call "allegory". Google it.
2) Even though my point went over your head at Mach 17 and you tangetilized at an amazing 362.7 degrees from my intent, I'll never the less inform you that you are mistaken on both of your assertions.
Now get some sleep, and a colon cleanse.

The greatest effect this experience had on me, was the realization that Im not a flesh and bone body, but a spiritual being, entirely separate from the physical universe. Awesome!
If everyone could come to realize and internalize this *fact* the way you have, everyone would adopt immensely different priorities, and the fear of death that is almost universal, would completely lose its sting.
Thanks for sharing!

...suddenly felt as though I rose out of myself and had the sensation that I could travel ....sort of flying...definitely felt that I had left myself on the couch. Interesting that you say, "I rose out of myself".
One thing that became strikingly clear to me during my OOBE was that I am not my body. I came away from the experience understanding that I own the meat body, the same way that I own my truck. It's just a temporary vehicle, and I'm the driver.
There's a book by author Albert Taylor called "Soul Traveler" that's a best-seller on the subject of OOBEs. I haven't read it, but I hear it's one of the best out there.

You're right about that. I have no fear whatsoever of the hereafter. I know for a fact that there is no such thing as death for the individual. Only for the body. We go on. And on.
That's not to say that I value my human life any less than I ever did. I very much like my current identity, and enjoy this worldly existence a great deal. I just don't fear losing it, any more than I fear losing my truck when it finally wears out. I'll get another one.

Or as CS Lewis said:

I might be insane, but remember clearly floating out of my body as an infant and coming back several times.
Seemed to have an awareness of things from a much more mature perspective than a 1 year old(?)should.
Saw a lot of weird things, like nuns without faces.
Would come back and leave at will, happened at night while sleeping.
Odd.

Having any memories at all prior to the age of three or so is odd. Remembering out-of-body experiences as an infant is beyond odd.
Are you sure you didn’t imagine it as a child? I’ve had one waking experience that might qualify, the result of emotional trauma. My dog died in my arms and I saw myself trying to revive him. Yes, from the ceiling. This was three years ago.
