Sherdil Ji, I was only 8 yeras old when the experiences started to happen on their own. As a child, I had absolutely no idea what an out-of-body experience even was... As an 8 year old child, I certainly didn't go looking for it, and I would not have gone to lengths to personally 'validate' anything. I was only 8 years old!!! These experiences continued, entirely on their own, all through my teens and even in to my 20's. Not as much any more. I can't explain to you how I know it was not just 'delusions' as you suggested. I just know. And the only way you can know, is if you experience it yourself. I guess the only comparison I use is to ask you the question "How do you know that what you are experiencing right at this very moment, is not a delusion?" Also, when we dream at night, we use waking up into this reality as our guage to determine that it was a dream right? And that's the ONLY guage we have really... What I am asking is, imagine that this world is just another dream, and when you have an experience like some of us have described, it's like waking up in another reality and realizing THIS was a dream (illusion). Just as you use this reality to guage your dreams at night were not 'real' (and quite possibly they ARE real on a higher level but I digress), we are able to know it was not a delusion, because that reality in the experience was MORE real than this physical reality. So we can use that reality to guage in the same way that you can use this reality to guage you have awoken from a dream... that's the best way I can describe how I just 'know'.
