He Left His Body For 3 Days; Shown How To Be Freed From Limitations Of The “Known”
What Researchers Found
The Story
David Masters was a 13-year-old boy who had a spontaneous three-day out-of-body experience. It began one night while he slept, with no near-death event. His consciousness left his body and hovered five to six feet above it. He watched his body sleep that night. The next morning, he observed his body wake up, brush teeth, eat breakfast, go to school, and talk with friends all day. He felt like a separate observer, aware of every action but detached. This repeated for three full days, with no sense of time passing. On the fourth morning, his consciousness returned to his body, and he remembered all details. Afterward, David understood that his essence was not his body but its driver. This changed his life. He developed intuition to interpret dreams, had premonitions that saved his son's life, started meditating for thousands of hours, and researched near-death experiences. He wrote books on life after death and shared insights on radio shows.
