It is very difficult to explain the origin of what makes us beings. In this article, David does a good job of explaining how basic we can go to explain ourselves, but we can only go so far. I do agree that every level of is connected to the prior and to the next level. There's no doubt about that, you take one level away and like David's example using "The Great Gatsby", the whole structure would collapse. I don't think we would ever know what's under the "spirit".
To know if there's an actual astral plane or not, in my opinion, the only way to find that out is actually death. But there's no coming back from that is there? Its just one of those things that will always debated. Especially between the spiritual and the scientist. The makings of a soul and the transcending past the brain and body will always be debatable topics. One could talk about these subjects for hours and at the end of the day it would all just be educated guesses, like David said "We can't even explain--in terms of physiology--how we grow hair on our arms...".
