Does high-speed travel affect the soul?

 
By Max Szabo at February 12, 2006 - 12:53am | Paranormal Experiences

I heard an idea recently that piqued my appetite.

It essentially suggested that the reason for jet-lag is that the traveller's soul (or, 'psychic body'?) needs to travel to catch up with the physical body and 'become one' again, potentially across thousands of miles.

Anyone (particularly anyone with commercial-aviation, military or (ideally) orbital experience care to comment? (Well, why wouldn't NASA types listen to GT, after all...)

Not so sure...

I'm thinkin that this isn't it. When I think of a soul leaving a body I think of a person dying. Instantly the picture of my grandfather lying in that casket cold.. unmoving... stiff... comes to mind. His soul was gone... it was more than obvious.

Can the body function without a soul? Or is the soul made up of more than one part? What leaves the body during an OBE?

too much to think about this early in the morning... lol

A bit off topic here, but

A bit off topic here, but I'm beginning to believe the astral body, soul or spirit must leave the body at the point of imminent death, since almost all NDE reports are so similar. Of course it may also be because the bodes process of shutting down would also be similar.

Soul lag

By Ghostly Designs on February 12, 2006 - 8:03am

Hey Max, interesting thought there but I can't seem to make it fit with my experiences. For several months back in the 90's I had a job that required a lot of commercial air travel, the shortest trip was about 4 hours in the air. There was no noticeable jet lag on north-south type flights but traveling east-west was often a different story. I think it's just the physiological effect of your body producing certain chemicals (melatonin, seratonin ...) in response to activities and exposure to sunlight.

Having not experienced any jet lag on a north-south flight the only possible paranormal explanation I can dream up in support of you case for jet soul lag (and it's a real stretch) would be that the soul would be slowed in east-west travels by magnetic eddy currents. But if that were the case then the technicians and scientists working in and around the magnets in places like Fermilab would experience jet/soul lag in addition to the common loose fillings and strange headaches.

Hm.

Thanks, chaps, that's rather interesting. I like the magnetic ideas, especially.

Speaking of NASA, BTW, waiting for the live GT broadcast to kick in whilst being online FEELS like tuning into Mission Control just before a launch...

interesting idea... i don't know about that. When I landed in egypt my body was so pumped that I didnt' feel jet lag at all. I just slept in a bit the next day and I was perfect.

Another idea... if the soul leaves during travel, could that be why people that are enduring G-force testing in those centerfuge sort of machines frequently black out and say that they saw a bright light and felt at peace??

hmmmm
