Waking up "out of body"

[zenmaster]

You aren't creating anything with hope, rather you are waiting for something to happen but it never will.

It never will because that something can never be real, as it's a false projection away from the present. It's essentially someone's emotional motivational construct that is put in place when inspiration and faith are insufficient to fulfill desire. Or to put it another way, it tends to occur when some fear-based opposing construct in one's unconscious needs balancing. That's the way the unconscious works, it still attempts to provide guidance based on what we are capable of accepting (what has been made conscious so far).
