Hi Robert,

I've been wondering about how the state of the physical body affects consciousness in planes beyond the physical. I could possibly imagine a state of mind affected by mind altering substances that carries through to the astral plane in a projection (I haven't tried it), but am curious about states of mind driven by disease or age. If one's mind were to deteriorate via Alzheimer's or dementia, would it suddenly revert to a state of clarity upon projection/death? And does an infant or young child that passes on become locked into a permanent state of that youthful innocence or do they continue to evolve or "age" for lack of a better word?

Cheers,
Keith
