May I ask your opinion, spiritually do you think a person is brain dead because the soul has actually left the body?
ANSWER: NO-RATHER THAT THE CENTER OF CONSCIOUSNESS HAS TRANSFERRED FROM THE PHYSICAL BODY TO THE ETHERO-ASTRAL BODY (ACCORDING TO THE ESOTERIC OUTLOOK WHICH I FOLLOW)
But is in some sort of purgatory until the body dies
Answer: no, not necessarily as such: more like in the "dream world" (which many of us often refer to as the so-called" lower astral plane"..)
