Erin- Ok, so this gets me thinking. If you can leave your body and still be " conscious ", still be aware...then what this means is that YOU are not your body. i mean to say, even without the presence of a physical body, one still continues to exist. Doesn't that then mean that if you were to die, or your body was to die, that the energy or spirit within would continue to exist even without a physical form?

i'm kinda putting the pieces together here. It's easy to fear death because we don't know for sure whether we continue to be ( even without our bodies ), or if when our bodies die, we completely cease to be. Doesn't the experience of astral projection ( whether done consciously or not ) prove that we continue to exist even without a body? And shouldn't that knowledge ease ones fear of dying? In essence, without a physical form, we are freed, right? Or am i looking at this all wrong?
