One might conclude that a Visionary Experience is one which takes place

“outside of the body or mind.” I would like to argue that this is not necessarily true. In

fact one can argue that most visions take place “within the body and mind.”

I am referring primarily to a visionary experience by a Subject in a controlled

prayer setting. The Subject was reading the Bible and meditating. Soon, the Subject

was in a deep trance state and his consciousness had gone “internal.” In his internal

mind, the Subject found himself on a mental plane of a different dimension. This plane

appeared to the Subject as if it were the Astral Plane. The Subject found himself fully

awake and aware in an internal “out of body experience.” The Subject met one person

while on the internal Astral Plane and communicated with her. Soon, the Subject came

out of his trance state and found himself to be back in the prayer room where he had

started out. The Subject carried with him a feeling of all enveloping Love which he did

not have prior to the experience. This feeling of all enveloping Love lasted for

approximately one year and then faded away.
