DOUBT IS SELF CASTING People think that being out of their body will prove that they are not a body or better that they are eternal. What actually happens is the being begins to wonder if they are dreaming, and doubt being self casting, causes a crash and burn. They then figure that if they are out of their body because the body were dead, they would know for sure, but maybe they are just hallucinating that the body is dead when in fact its still alive. How would they know. Just looking down upon a dead body doesn't prove squat. "The problem with drugs is when you go up you see that all the shit isn't true, but when you come down you wonder." Doubt = wonder = crash and burn. What the being WANTS is proof of eternality. The only thing that can be eternal is a zero dimensional entitiy that HAS no space or time to die in. Only when the being can contact direct consciousness of Ex Temporal Eternality, (timelessness), and can operate freely the flip flop from out of time into time, will he then have the proof that he desires. At that point he will probably be too busy going to sleep forever to care.
