Thanks for the reply and the question Nobody,first thing is that I see the mind as being independant of the body as we are now in physical form,the brain is a physical representation of the mind,and they are magnetically linked via the solar plexes and
crown chakra,

Consciousness resides within the life force (spirit/soul/it "carries" the individualised being
who has mindfullness,and further suppies the vechicles of expression (bodies) that it needs to express itself on the physical,mental,phychic,spiritual planes of existance.

Astral travel is a natural involuntary phenomenon that occurs whilst we slumber,perfectly
in line with natural law,and the evoulutionary arc thar we are all on,however,with meditation and practise,this can be done when one is wide awake and conscious,you
can then quite literally "be in two minds"?

Consciousness remains at all levels,however the influence of the ego is somewhat
lessened as we progress spiritually.
