Can the subtle body of a seeker be separated from the physical body through willpower?

Real separation is not a feat of force; it is the disidentification born of witnessing and acceptance, where nothing is torn apart, only seen rightly.

— Osho
According to Osho, no—willpower can move the gross body (fasting, walking, sitting), but it cannot separate the subtle from the physical. Real separation is not a feat of force; it is disidentification born of witnessing and tathata. Walk, eat, live—while knowing you are not the doer. Through choiceless awareness and acceptance, the knot of identification loosens; nothing is torn apart, only seen rightly.

You can’t force your spirit away from your body; just watch calmly and accept, and you’ll realize you aren’t the body.
