Being an occultist for over 30 years, I have actively pursued OBE, and studied it with others. My conclusion, as well as most occultists, is that OBE's do not exist.
The closest thing I have ever come, is being able to enter into a lucid dream state, but this is only for seconds, perhaps a minute, before it dissolves.
Anytime this experience was possible, was after a prolonged set of rituals intended to altar the consciousness and open up the unconsciousness.
I believe all NDE and related experiences are neuroscientific.
Meditations are certain forms of Trance Induction.
