Does the soul exists?
Lawsin, the proponent of the Theory of Associative Aneural Consciousness, boldly asserts that the soul is merely an illusion. His conviction stems from a series of personal out-of-body experiences and empirical experiments. In his view, the soul is nonexistent, a misinterpreted false by-product of a dying mind.
Astral projection(AP) is a phenomenon where the soul seemingly leaves the physical body. However, Lawsin challenges this common misconception that the soul detaches from the head and leaves through the feet during astral projection. This is a big blunder.
Contrary to popular literature, he argues that if the soul exists, it gradually projects upward from the feet, ultimately detaching itself from the head. The mind should leave last. Second, Astral projection is a process. To experience such phenomena, there are four phases that must unfold:
(i) The TRANCE Phase
1. Lying on the right or left side with the body in a crouching position
2. Recalling activities that happened on that day or previous days
3. Feeling the sense of drifting with a mildly awake mind
4. Jerking once
5. Moments of total silence
6. Sleeping
(ii) The PROJECTION Phase
7. Total darkness
8. "Mentally awake" but the physical body is asleep
9. Eyes closed, sees "soul" detaching away from the body
10. "Soul" detaches slowly, starting from the feet and separating last off the head
11. The sensation of floating begins
(iii) The TRANSFORMATION Phase
11. Seeing the physical body, sleeping on its side, from a distance
12. Realizing a new body very different in its composition and characteristics from the physical body
13. Seeing all physical objects in the room even in total darkness (clue of consciousness)
14. Conflicting fear of dying or coming back to life
15. Deciding to stay alive by fighting the fear of death.
(iv) The RETURN Phase
16. Trying to speak or call for help but no words come out of the mouth
17. Trying to move parts of the body but unable to do so
18. Silently shouting earnestly to trigger movements
19. One or two fingers start to wiggle
20. A sensation of numbness in areas where the whole body is resting
21. Awareness and assessment of the physical surroundings
22. Going back to sleep in a comfortable position.
Third, the standard notion of the soul or spirit is totally misinterpreted and should be newly defined in a different light. Astral projection is an illusion created by a "dying" or disoriented mind. It is a by-product of the mind in irregular or abnormal environmental and bodily conditions. When the body and mind are acting differently from their normal ways, various psychiatric and behavioral disorders eventually crop up.
Fourth, some people believe that the physical body and the spiritual soul are two bodies in one form. But based on an account of another OOB experient, the physical body is not made up of only one but two astral entities or two souls. During astral projection, there are actually three personalities present: two abstract entities and one physical body. The three parts in existance are the astral entity returning, the physical body on the bed, and the one watching. (the watcher tells us that the soul is not real). I named this phenomenon The Astral Twin Paradox.
Since the brain's cerebrum is believed to be divided into the left and right hemispheres, it is possible that the mind is dualpaired. This means that the mind has twofold sensitivity: consciousness and alter- consciousness. An inner brain and an outer brain. Just like the eyes, where the left eye sees things differently from the right eye, the left hemisphere of the brain also "sees" things differently compared with the right hemisphere. Thus, it is possible that a ghost-like image is manifested in the right brain and a second ghost-like image is produced in the left brain. The astral twins exist due to the twoness of the brain.
Fifth, the soul is simply a product of one's imagination. In one of his AP experiments, Lawsin asked his brother to place a piece of paper with a handwritten secret word on top of a cabinet where his astral entity (soul) usually hovers. The experiment was designed to prove if the secret word can be uncovered by the soul when it leaves the body the next time an OOB episode occurs. The word to this day still remains unread. In another experiment, he made a bold agreement with his father. He suggested that whoever dies first, must come back, to tell the truth about the existence of the soul. Yet, Lawsin said, "My father died a few years ago, but until to this day I am still waiting for him to show up in spirit with my mother on his side".
Assuming now that the soul is an emergent that is generated by the physical body, then as the body dies, the soul will simply disappear like a bubble in the air.
