I suggest that there really is no such experience as physical death.
Beings that ostensibly cease to interact within the consciousness of the physical plane are lumped into an arbitrary category we call "physical death". The slumber-ridden consciousness of individuals who acknowledge only the 3D realm produce true hallucinations (that which is perceived by an individual to be an aspect of reality, but that is not acknowledged by the general populace) to compensate for their inability to interact on a cognizant level with the afore mentioned beings. These true hallucinations become common. Subsequently, resulting in the perception that there are physical bodies that have ceased vital functionality and therefore need to be put in the ground, burned, or left on a hill for the vultures. This pattern infiltrates the human condition until almost absolute acceptance is attained. The human condition is then afflicted with a potent psychosis. Pattern begets more pattern of the same orientation.
I venture to suggest this scenario is akin to the perception that someone is asleep. "Don't wake them...they are asleep", or "they are dreaming." We have allowed this notion of "sleep" and this conjuring of "dreaming" to pervade the human condition. Although these beings are simply passing through and experiencing extra dimensions we entertain a tedious process to maintain the illusion that someone is dreaming and then curtail any involvement with this being of travel and tend to our "waking" routines. Ah...so much drama.
Since the faculty of time is an arbitrary concept as well we should be able to dismiss the contributing effects it has on this psychosis. If we could comprehend that time does not exist (except within the limited reference frames delineated for equations within physics) then we would realize that the body (which may better be described as field and has not received proper definition yet) never really degrades. It can't. There is no linear progression that commands it to do so. Time wielding threat of decay is another aspect of the dementia.
The human condition has provided the intervention of the severely traumatic experience or ego death as a metaphor that will hopefully inscribe the budding pattern that will perpetuate itself and cure the human condition. This alternative to the metaphor that stands now as "physical death" would instil a discernable method to develop a collective awareness that is not stricken with such a menacing psychosis. Psychedelics (as well as meditation, ritual, etc.) are an open circuit to the death transcendence experience. At this point what has been deemed the "human condition" should be addressed as the "life condition". With psychoactive plants/fungus taking part in this restoration it has to be considered that life itself has a collective (un)consciousness (communicating through the common computational regenerative, DNA).
Suggesting that the collective (un)conscious essence of life has a psychosis that it is attempting to reconcile by intervening with its human level by ecstatic treatment induced by psychedelics or breath work might sound good if you are Freud, Jung, or Grof. However, it is merely conjecture conveyed through the inadequate medium of word which is just a metaphor of a metaphor. Words will revolve one infinitely, but absolute resolve will ultimately escape its grasp.
But why stop there? The animate/inanimate must mesh at some degree of order. The animate/inanimate, (un)conscious ubermind is thinking some bizarre possibilities.
Oh well...its just a thought.
But that is all anything is...maybe.
