Hey mamabird-
In Astral Dynamics Robert Bruce talks a little about deceased bodies and their travels through the astral. The way I take it is that when a person dies their 'new' master copy of conciousness is transfered to the real time body. From there the spirit can stay on this level but over time will find themselves rising into the higher planes of energy, higher astral fields until they are absorbed into the void, the one, god or whatever name suits you. Tibetan monks believe that the spirit of the person has the choice to return to the physical if they choose, thus reincarnating themselves in animal earth form.
If I've stated anything incorrectly or if others will like to add, please do.
