As mentioned previosly, every human being in the planet has three bodies as follows:
(1) Mental body (also known as spirit or soul)
(2) Astral body (animistic matter)
(3) Material body (organic matter)
The mental body (spirit or soul), to which researchers are now turning their attention, is the live, intelligent agent that governs the other two bodies - the astral and the physical bodies - and is therefore responsible for all manifestations of life.
The law of transformation of matter, to which the other bodies are subject, does not affect the mental body. The spirit is eternal and unchangeable in its essence and it offers magnificent demonstrations of its capabilities and courage as it grows in spirituality.
The astral body is the bond, the connection between the mental (spirit) and the physical bodies. It is joined, particle by particle to the mental body, as a result of the permanent vibration of the latter. It encircles the entire physical body to which it is connected by means of animistic cords.
During sleep, the spirit wanders away, together with the astral body (from which it never parts) but never breaks its links with the physical body. It continues to pass on warmth and life by means of the previously mentioned animistic cords.
No matter how long the distances separating the spirit from its corporeal instrument may be, their connection is never broken.
Such interruption would amount to disincarnation (physical death) and also, the extension of the animistic cords is unlimited.
Thus, only after disincarnation do the mental and astral bodies abandon the physical body definitively.
