return to action escapes falling victim to either astral or earthbound predators. In
modern times, except in war, it is unlikely for there to be situations where there is

excessive danger from “earthly” predators, but sensitivity in sleep saves many people
from astral predators.

But why does the brain not completely shut down when the spirit leaves the body? The
continuing activity at this time is made possible because of evolutionary changes. After
the complete departure of the spirit from the body, the muscles responsible for eye
movement are periodically activated (REM sleep). Neural signals from the eyes reach

the brain, activating the appropriate zones of the cerebral cortex (occipital optical
zones), permitting the brain to remain minimally alert. The signals resulting from the
movement of the eye muscles create a state of partial activation of the brain identical
to that found when the spirit first departs from the body (Fig. 79). The physical body
and brain, then, are waiting for the spirit and are alerted to quickly return to an active
state (F Fi ig g. . 8 80 0). During normal sleep, activation of the brain in this way occurs many
times, continuously returning the brain to a state of readiness.
