““Alongside their physical body, humans thus also possess a body of energy (see Astral body) which is liberated at death and can survive in new forms once the body dies (see Reincarnation). Ghosts are thus defined as souls freed at the point of death but still without a new physical form. Usually, ghosts appear to say a final goodbye. Spirits who are unable to rest in peace may also show themselves in this way.””
![“[Listening to a song] one could experience a freedom from one's physical body, and from one's social body - the mask you wore to go about in public among those who thought they knew you, an unchosen mask of nervousness and tradition, the mask that, when owrn too long, makes the face behind it…” quote by Greil Marcus](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/05f/greil-marcus-10438_freedom_listening-to-a-song-one-could-experience_82171.jpg)
