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've "met" my higher self, and I wasn't out of body when it happened. I wasn't even particularly in a trance state or trying to contact anyone or anything. "She" just came spontaneously.

So, no, you don't have to have a lot of OBE experience.

I guess I´m a little afraid of loosing myself as a person.
Ah, that's the ego talking.

Losing one's self as a person is something that mystics strive toward. It is to be desired, and it is, I believe, a necessary step toward enlightenment.

You won't lose yourself permanently.

the world was an illusion, that only I was real, everything in the world was created to fool me.
That's a good insight.

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...
Death to the caterpillar is the beginning of the life of the butterfly.

And figuring out the truth is actually enlightenment. Losing your ego-self is the goal of many religious, mystical, and spiritual practices the world over, and there's good reason for that. The things you can see, know, understand, and learn when you step away from your monkey mind are far greater than anything you can do or think or be with your ego. The difference is like comparing Crown Jewels to trinket jewellery you'd buy in a truck stop. Yeah, you might lose your cheap truck stop jewellery, but it's not something you really need, anyway.
