Hi Dorothy,

Nice idea here. I agree with the first part. However, I would say that the 
spirit does not withdraw, it is constant. It is our personality which 
"withdraws" or becomes more rigidified. Also, I do not think it is possible 
to "loose" the only part of us which is eternal. Just a thought.
