What causes Epilepsy? As a sufferer myself, whenI have as they say 'a turn' I feel as if I'm out of myself.
Aaron Joseph
I don't think anyone on Earth understands causes for epilepsy.
To begin with, our "science" is not prepared to consider and openly investigate the possibility that our consciousness may become temporarily separated from our physical body. This is despite the accumulating evidence from people who came BACK to life after being "clinically dead" for a considerable length of time.
Paradigms and dogmas cultivated by humanity on Earth haven't changed much since the public demonstration of the immortality of consciousness (resurrection) nearly 2000 years ago...
It is quite possible, that there may be several different causes for the "state of separation of consciousness from the physical body" as I would define epilepsy.
Some of the reasons may be of physical/ physiological nature, such as restricted blood/oxygen supply to the central nervous system for example.
Non-physical reasons are actually very interesting. Suppose that before you were born you ASKED your Higher Self to give you an opportunity to investigate the relationship between your consciousness and your new physical body. By investigating your experiences of "being out of yourself" you LEARN things that only advanced Lamas and Yogis can speak about with any competence.
