Yes yes..Also known as the Astral Body and the Spirit Body.
Even among Judeo-Christian scholars there can be found both dichotomists and
trichotomists. A trichotomist recognizes two non-material components of a
human being, in addition to his physical body. These are the "animal soul"
(also called the psyche) and the immortal soul.
The extremely robust esoteric system left by G.I. Gurdjieff in our own
century describes many of these "higher bodies" in much greater detail, with
practical instruction on how to develop them. This is shocking and life
transforming material, the most powerful I have encountered.

Yes check out PEAR lab. (Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research
laboratory) for some rigorously proven examples of remote viewing and
telekinetic effects. Much of this material has been published in the book,
"Margins of Reality" by Robert Jahn and Brenda Dunne. I recommend this
book. Robert Jahn is now the Dean of the Princeton School of Engineering.
This research has been active for over a decade, and they have never been
debunked. This highly visible research has survived all scrutiny.

Yes, Yes!!Basically, all of our present understanding of time as a dimension
is wrong. It is an illusion, like an artifact of the brain's memory.
Perhaps this illusion evolved because it is a very materially useful one.
But it is an illusion nonetheless, and this fact can be perceived in certain
spiritual states of total self awareness.
Here is a contemplative question which I pose, based on one of my own
experiences of this 'simultaneity'.
"When has anyone ever observed, that there has ever been any more than
exactly ONE moment?"
