My belief is that OBE is just one way of experiencing things. I used to have out of body experiences with all the effects. Then I had some without them, I'd go to wherever I went with a slight sensation of movement. I've also found that you can go from one location to another immediately.  Time and space aren't actually real. It has more to do with vibrational rates. That's why your vibration rate increased by your crown and/or third eye chakras right before you experienced yourself at a level beyond your physical body.

Regarding the points of light, this is how things played out for me.

1. I had a couple of OBEs where I flew through space at a fast speed and flew past numerous stars very quickly. When I initially projected I set the intent to visit my disc/soul group.
2. I had an OBE where I flew loops around clusters of stars, and then immediately found myself by a beautiful lagoon of some planet. I also set the intent to visit my soul group/disc at the beginning of this experience. So I figured that this is what I had done.
3. I read Howard Storm's near death experience, and found that at some point he and Jesus went to a place where spirits appeared as stars, points of light.
4. Points 3 and 2 made me realize that this is what took place during the two OBEs spoken about under point 1. This explains why the stars/points of light were clustered so closely together, and why I passed them so quickly.

I didn't stop to speak to any of these spirits. I now understand why. Long story.
