I don't know if 'disappear' is the right word. Here's is an account of St.
John in Revelation experiencing conscious transcending:
I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of
a trumpet, (hearing OM during meditation).
And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven
golden candlesticks; (The chakras).
And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man,
clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden
girdle. (Astral body)
His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes
were as a flame of fire;
And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his
voice as the sound of many waters. (Sounds of the tattvas, or subltle elements)
And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp
two-edged sword: (The two petaled third eye)
and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
And when I saw him, ('him' is his higher astral body) I fell at his feet as
dead. (The physical body)
