I read on Raymond Moody's book Life after Life about many NDErs that
after leaving their human body did not report to have a spirit body.
Mainly they found themselves to be a floating circular shape of
consciousness.
One man describes his spirit as follows:
"...it was small, and it felt as if it were sort of circular, with no
rigid outlines to it. You could liken it to a cloud...It almost felt
as if it were in its own encasement...."
Another man reports being just pure consciousness. He explains he
felt as though he were able to see everything around him without
occupying any space at all, as if he were a point of consciousness.
Somebody else felt he was just sort of a ball of energy.
Have any of you read anything like this before? Could it be that when
we die we become energy and part of the universe? Wouldn't that mean
the loss of identity? Consciousness lives on but individuality dies.
We would be as a tear drop being part of the ocean.
Or maybe we don't merge but still remain a puff of air resembling the
orbs referred to on the post "Orbs at Pope's funeral" at the
Announcements forum.
I don't know maybe my human brain blocks the bigger picture for me
here but either way it sounds rather unappealing. I was hoping for a
body in the afterlife, different to the one I have now obviously but
a body nevertheless.
Is there any logical explanation to why some people might not
progress into an spirit body when they die? Or could the ones reporting a body be the ones out of the norm?.

Peace.

I occasionally send someone off to whjat Casey called the Akashic Records, where they encounter various levels of spiritual beings. The usual feeling seems to be that having to have a body is a colossal limitation!  After dropping it off you no longer are constrained to live in the 3-space world, but go one to higher dimensions. That's definitely not Borg-like!
