Normal humans are hard-locked to their existing form. Transmunanists
wish to use technology to change that form to some degree or other, but
nevertheless it appears to be a logical contradiction to say that you
can simply break with it, completely.

I have some ideas about how a mind transfer might be attempted but it
would be a very complex, technologically mediated process.

There is no way to alter one's binding with one's own body or form by
any act of will, though some people have what the psycholocial manuals
call a "disassociative disorder" which appears to be a result of a
neuralogical condition that weakens the connection to the lef-model as
represented in the brain.

It is this feeling if dissociation that is the illusion, not the hard
binding to one's body. =\
