A viewer asks: “How much is the physical brain needed for true rational thought. We know that while being stuck in limbo the capacity to think rationally is GREATLY impaired. How much does the amount of life force energy available contribute to or impede rational thinking?”

The problem you describe is not a function of inadequate life force energy per se. It is the nature of thought and how it is experienced that creates the difficulty of the earthbound spirit. When they lose the body and the brain, they lose the normal mode of experiencing consciousness. Because the intuitive gateway is impaired in humans through a manipulation, they are not used to using their intuition and relying on it as a way to obtain knowledge and to guide their efforts. Their intuitive reach, being limited, will be experienced through occasional insights that are akin to the gut feelings and hunches people describe that prove to be fruitful in paying attention and following that seeming instinct, but these are rudimentary expressions of intuitive sensing and most people have such experiences on a quite irregular basis, if at all. A full connection to the intuitive reach would be a game changer for human life and would create an entirely different world. You are so far away from that it is difficult to even perceive what that would be like. The problem of the earthbound spirit in lacking a brain, is the absence of the normal mode of sensing consciousness at work through the creation of thoughts, which you are taught to channel into language. This process creates, in a sense, a kind of translation of knowledge, information, and meanings into a stream of words to organize it and bring it up for review in a linear fashion. This is a quite limited way to think compared to the light being living through intuitive reach, where one has knowings and obtains information in a complete fashion all at once about a subject. It is, therefore, lightning-quick and deeply comprehensive and profound in its manifestation and benefits to the light being for reasons of efficiency and ability to excel in many feats you would consider superhuman. When the brain is absent on death of the body, people are left with their intuitive pathway, but it is a faulty one, quite disconnected and diminished in perception and seems quite foreign because people largely ignore this aspect of themselves and are even unaware of its existence, in most cases, so it will be quite primitive and weakened through disuse. That is what creates the plight of the earthbound spirit, because they do not know how to think intuitively and do not know how to reach out beyond the self or even have the inclination to do so. That is done through the intuitive gateway, so they are doubly hampered in making any headway when suddenly becoming brainless. Without the brain to connect to memory that is not stored within the brain, they will not have a pathway to reconnect to that information either. That is a large part of who they are and who they become in the course of their life. All that is contained within memory. It is the repository of the knowledge base, after all, that people need constantly in living their lives. Without the brain to connect them, they will often be quite confused and will lack much awareness of things they used to know and take for granted. Much like a stroke victim with damage to brain pathways and will have many impairments of function depending on the site of the injury, they will not know how to send the intuition forth to connect to things beyond the self and, lacking memory, will be living in a very primitive state of existence quite diminished in capability. This is why they struggle and cannot come up with a strategy to help themselves.
