	Encyclopedia Magica: Astral Travel
		Occultists believe that at death the astral body leaves its physical counterpart and finds a new existence on the astral plane, Some parapsychologists believe that ghostly apparritions are astral communications between persons who have just died and those who are dear to them.
		Astral travel is the conscious seperation of the astral body from the physical body resulting in an altered state of consciousness, and sometimes different qualities of perception.
		Astral travel has been reported by some subjects who experience the near-death-experience (i.e., those who, as a result of an accident or operation, are declared clinically dead, but subsequently revive).

		In contrast, Astral Point links switches in a mesh topology of up to several hundred nodes, where one platform can set up access to multiple services, and many nodes can be configured at once.
		But Astral Point says its "Self Healing Mesh" saves money and offers more flexibility than Sonet, in which multiple rings must be configured to provide full redundancy: "In rings, 50 percent of the fiber sits idle, waiting for a break," says Mitchell.
		Another potential drawback lies in Astral Point's "Sonet lite" approach, in which IP is layered on top of DWDM and standard Sonet framing, but full Sonet TDM is not used.
