The Astral

[georgek]

I spoke about the Astral recently on the thread "What is Purgatory"

One of the best books that I have found on the subject, that illustrates this well, is a book by J.H. Brennon called Astral Doorways. Without going into the ancient art of Qabala, I would like to start the 'subject rolling'

The Astral is the Twilight Zone. This is where all imagination and creativity are stored. In the physical plane, we create from imagination. For everything on the physical plane, we have a counterpart on the Astral plane. In this world, thought is actual form. Hence the name Thought Forms as created by the Ancient Egyptians to guard their tombs.

Everything we create in the Astral has it's counterpart on the physical, so it is easy to see how Artificial Thought Forms can be created.
There are also many planes of existence in The Astral, such as The Mental Plane, Here Now, Akashic Record are just a few. This is also the place where negativity is stored. The thought can also be as bad as the deed, so thoughts are basically life forms that exist.

Thought Forms will always have a sympathetic pull on their creator hence we can bring Karma into this equation. So anything that we create in the Astral, will eventually turn on their creator until the energy dissipates.
The life forms are normally inert and die once 'earthed' but occasionally, they will detach and become very low life forms.

The Astral touches both the Spiritual Planes (Upper Astral) and the Earth Plane (Lower Astral) and is often a meeting ground for spirits to meet. Time is also the fourth dimension which is a solid dimension in the Astral, although it has abstract significance on the Earth Plane.
Also the Astral is the home of the Etheric Body, the shell but not the spirit. This can be seen as a smoky bluish smoke by clairvoyants.

When we die, we enter the Astral, whereby we can still see the physical world. After three days, we move to the Spirit World (higher vibrations), unless we are grounded and stuck in purgatory. Now we have come full circle.
This is my opinion and I would welcome any feedback on this.
