Theos-Talk Archives (April 2005 Message tt00652)

When your bodily functions all cease, you are considered *clinically*
dead. Whether or not you're actually dead or not is a whole 'nother
story.

I see it could be two different things:
The body has a self-defense mechanism called dissociation, which
causes your thoughts to branch off or shut down in case of trauma (or
arbitrarily from a result of dissociative disorder). You can literally
be thinking about something, but not even know it because your brain
can't communicate between the two areas. A common symptom of this is
the sensation you're leaving your body (also, can make you see/hear
things, and less commonly give you multiple personalities, among other
things). This effect is not clearly explained by modern science.

Maybe the effect, as it were, actually changed your brain chemistry as
to begin releasing your astral body. The sensations you felt as a
result would be explained by your astral senses.

Or maybe it's from the fact that there's so much miscommunication in
your brain, it causes these symptoms by the ectopy [chaos] in the
neurons, causing them to trigger the senses for no apparent reason.

As I see it, the first would be more likely, seeing as how since
everyone experiences practically the same thing even though there's no
recognizable pattern to the chaos in everyone's brain after
dissociation is triggered (e.g., even though everyone's brain has a
different thought pattern, people still experience pretty much the
same things). So it would leave me to believe that the change in brain
chemistry allows the astral form to lose its connection with the body.
