Experiencing one higher self is something that I find very interesting.
But is this something that should be done only If you are a seasoned OBE person.?

I guess IÂ´m a little afraid of loosing myself as a person.
I had a dream a few nights, canÂ´t remember what it was, but when I woke up, I felt that
the world was an illusion, that only I was real, everything in the world was created to fool me.
And If you were to figure out the truth, the simulation (the world), would end and my old life would cease to exist and I would be dead in a way...

This may sound that IÂ´m afraid of trying OBE, but IÂ´m not, just might not ready for my higher self.
I remember I called to experience it in a dream but I got afraid and stopped the process.
What your experience with experiencing your higher self?

/Magic

Don't worry.
In my opinion, Astral Travel is just one more way of expressing yourself, or existing. I have found that my 'peak' experiences have not happened while I was out of body- but I have been able to use the OBE state to more fully explore those experiences.
For example, the idea of the material world as an illusion is nothing new, and it has been looked at and 'experienced' throughout the ages, by many others, and (also in my opinion) the ability of the people involved to handle these expanded awareness experiences had more to do with their development as people with a sense of basic interconnectedness than their ability or capacity to be out of body, which can be considered as a state of expanded awareness, but is actually just another way of experiencing reality, inner and possibly outer, whether you find a distinction or not.
If you look at religions and spiritual persuasions, you'll see that they were started by mystics that had these experiences and were able to make them part of who they were, and do great things with them. It was their followers who screwed things up in the process *ducks* so keep on doing whatever you feel called to do, and keep studying, because when you're ready whatever has to happen will.
