disembodiment
Spirit without flesh
Disembodiment is the state of being separated from a physical body, or the act of such separation.
The concept appears most often in philosophical and spiritual contexts, where consciousness or the soul is imagined to exist independently of flesh: The mystic described disembodiment as liberation from earthly constraints.
In more casual use, disembodiment can describe feelings of detachment or disconnection from one's own body, sometimes associated with trauma, meditation, or altered states.
A disembodied voice seems to come from nowhere visible.
