I feel the spirit as I read this reply. The body is a huge block to the spirit. It is an incredible journey learning how to get them to work in perfect tandem order.

Lately I have been having some rather strange OBE activity. I dont know if I am to call them OBE's or not to be honest. It occurs while I am in my office at work, DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, praying, crying, etc. In the past they have almost always come during nighttime hours. Now they seem to occur during the day. Now these seem to last for moments but I can feel the same stages prior and the same peace immediately after.

When I first read your reply to this question, I immediately learned several truths. 1: The body is new and my spirit is old. I am to trust the one that has spent the most time with Christ. 2: Evil spirits having access to our bodies is directly related to our own personal spiritual state. Do we fully rely upon God? Are we without fear and full of faith? 3: I can communicate with my body and I am meant to control it. The body is simply a vessel for the Spirit, which is me. Cast evil from my life is the key to all spiritual growth that I have gained with Christ.

What we are speaking about is so much more than merely deflecting temptations for which we somehow do not feel responsible. Remember, brothers and sisters, it is our own desires which determine the sizing and the attractiveness of various temptations. We set our thermostats as to temptations. - According to the Desire of Our Hearts

Thank you for this insightful reply. As usual, for me it bought up more thoughts and questions. The spiritual being is always meant to choose. Too often in my past I have allowed my body to choose and have followed, all the while feeling frantic and feeling wrong. Is it wrong to view the body as not me? Or at least view the spirit as the eternal me? Something seems off about that to me when I consider the mortal body. Possibly the mortal body becomes subject to eternal law when the spiritual being fully controls all choice?

My wife and I have discussed the 3rd eye extensively. I too feel that this is the case. Having not been fully aware of the differences in the spiritual feelings and the physical senses I am trying to fall to possibly one extreme?? I LOVE the opening of my 3rd eye and feel amazing spiritually and physically when I feel that I am relying soley upon the Spiritual. I definately need to find a different balance it sounds like. I dont want to feel that the body is evil or not going to treat me well. This would become a down fall. But currently I only trust the spiritual because it seems to help me fully control the physical. ..

Thank you for your reply and all of the things that your experiences have been able to testify to me.
