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."

I LOVE that expression!

Do have a look at that Astral City film Ive flagged up; would be interested to hear if you think it fits with your ideas

it looks like anything you want it too look like but mostly likely take form as your human body

From what I've seen the astral body looks like how the person looked when they were alive (they can choose which age) and there is often a radiant light encircling them. They also don't look solid--more wavy/blurry and often they have a colorful hue.
