It is imperative that we understand the astral and its function or nature. We give it a term that means ‘divided’ but in essence no realm is divided from another. They are all simply different frequencies manifested or experienced by each individual. The lower astral can be reached naturally, with will-power after loads of practice, and/or induced by various artificial means. Astral projection occurs when a person is fully aware that they are not only a physical body, and they have an experience in which their consciousness feels like it is leaving their body and travelling on another plane. It is common on earth and within off-planetary races.
The lower astral is different in its resonance to the higher astral and most individuals take their thoughts and ideas into this band to explore and experience ideas and thought forms. For example: being chased by a dragon, or having a fight with someone, or trying to escape a flood and being the hero. The lower astral is a poor copy of the material world and the lower astral entities – who have never had a physical incarnation – use this as their playground. In ‘The Art of Dreaming’ (Carlos Castaneda), we learn about inorganic beings and how they can trick a consciousness and trap them.
What takes place in the astral is where the real drama that is unfolding on earth is taking place, that is why there are incongruent timelines, things are manifesting or not manifesting according to plan, and a lot of distortions of reality happen there first before manifesting in the material world. The astral is not an actual place but is manifested by consciousnesses who have agreed upon frequencies of perception. These perceptive realties are a reflection of who people are and are highly programmable. The distortion depends upon the collective agreements in perception.
Astral travel does not require the soul as such but it is related, and the soul is a full materialization of the focus and experiences required within a lifetime. Astral travel is a semi-state that manifests the individual’s consciousness and thoughts. This would be an excellent reason why we have encouraged you to read a high frequency book or watch a good movie, or simply be quiet for half an hour before going to bed. The things that you expose your consciousness to before you go to bed can determine the perceptions you have in the lower astral when you sleep.
Your soul manifests you – the expression of it – in the material realm . . . with your principles, boundaries and what defines you as an individual. The astral body manifests your ego and your thoughts, your ideas, fights and struggles, your egoic self-ideas of what or who you are. It is less dense in the astral realms so things are far more pliable and can be distorted; impacting the daily life on earth.
When a person passes over (dies), they pass through the lower astral first and encounter their egoic ideas they played with whilst incarnated, and most pass through onto the higher astral and the White Light or Review. Usually, a soul can return to its original self where the concepts of who and what it was before incarnating are, to begin the next phase in its growth or evolution. This is where the added experience from the latest incarnation is realized.
The souls that are overly attached to their experience, materiality, body or world ideas can become disincarnate once they are deceased. They then roam the astral planes tied to the ideas that bound them in their recent incarnation. Eventually, it finds its way back to where it came from. The example that I always use is the father, who having lost his daughter when she was abducted, searches the material world until he passes over. Having no resolution or closure, his ideas of looking for and finding his daughter resume after death in the astral.
Military groups on earth having taken advantage of individual’s natural ability to astral project, have learned how to use chemicals, torture and sleep deprivation to induce astral travel in subjects. The individual is alienated from their body and given an objective to fulfil or used in astral conflicts. This is not limited to the military-complex alone and naturally gifted individuals can be taken from their physical bodies against their will and used to fight wars they do not know exist. Elite armies operate in the astral alone and can carry out objectives that would otherwise be impossible in the physical. What we are experiencing in the physical is a dis-jointed manifestation of ideas that are being agreed upon in the astral.
Many of the warnings, challenges, fights, wars, conflicts and alarms are happening in the lower astral rather than the material realm. Is the astral a mirror reflection of the physical plane or is the physical plane a manifestation of the astral plane? Are all the dire warnings going to remain in the astral or are they going to make their way into the material plane? The warnings come not as doomsday prophecies, but as warnings of potentials in the realms that manifest this reality. Agreed upon ideas are being challenged by dark and light alike, and to the victor go the spoils. When things do come to pass, then the conflict has made its way into the material plane . . . but luckily some of the warnings never do. Most of the timelines and conflicts are impossible to predict or know because we are looking at them from the material side.
Hundreds of millions of people are being influenced by these astral beings, lulling them into states of complacency, apathy, turning a blind eye, and when our students do not listen, we must assume that they are being influenced against their knowledge or ability to realize. The recent scare and innoculation event is one of those mass perpetuated events that came from the astral and manifested in this material reality.
You must never forget that other people’s astral beings can influence us and cause us to blow the warnings off, turn a blind eye and deaf ear, in favor of their nefarious agendas or to suit our own egoic astral self image.
