What is the astral body like?
 

Will my astral body look like my physical body when i die?

Yes this is what my guides say, but more flexible and you can alter it.

At first. :smile:
Or maybe for a looong time if you/we keep thinking of
ourselves as human! Lol!

Just like in your best youth, and beyond. :)

I hope not. Well not to look like I do when I die. I would hope to look like I so at this moment. I'm 35, I'm decent looking & probably at a point where I look neither old, nor young. I would prefer to look like this than I would at the age of my death which, I hope, won't come for many more years.

Yes, some say that elderly people look younger when they die.

You can choose to look at your prime age or the way you were when you died

Yes, moreover, I was told that elderly people look younger in their astral bodies....

is it a real body or just a projection of the disincarnate mind??

Any body that an entity has, including a dis-incarnate former human, is temporary. The most permanent state of being is pure consciousness without a body. But I realize you did ask about the astral plane, which in my opinion is adjacent to this physical plane, but there are many other planes more grander and more spectacular than the astral plane, and people who have died are encouraged to ascend to those planes, or realms; Buddhists call them "Bardos." But the work of ascension, in most cases, can only be done on this physical plane; because all of the elements needed to ascend are here. As the Biblical saying goes "there are many mansions in my fathers house."
