'Astral' Articles
The astral is a unified field of consciousness. You have access to it and likely do on a regular basis whether you know this or not. The plane of existence “beyond the veil” is the primary plane, and our efforts to keep things, our fears of destruction, of our own mortality, deny a fundamental trust of the plane and the “spirit world” that supports us. Everything moves with a rhythm and we have two powers in astral logistics: attention and intention.

Dream and Astral Travel
The subject of dream and astral travel is a bit complex, so forgive me if I have to cover a lot of theory. The subject is also a little broad. In fact, I will start with a little neural science. It applies both to near death (nde) phenomenon and hypnogogic states. Your brain actually processes sensory stimuli well before it occurs to you that you saw or heard it. And a process of pre-thought occurs that determines what will actually register to you as a conscious observation or not. The material left over is still experience and still logs deep… Seek More
Astral Realm
The earth itself has an astral component. A realm of existence that would correspond to its very own astral body. In Shamanism, this is often referred to as the spirit world and even the departed don’t usually leave this psychosphere of the planet. This is in part why mediums aren’t actually very challenged in reaching them. They don’t go to some other world. It is more like a different sector of the earths memory and is still very comfortable for them. In fact, during the right seasons when life’s collective bio-rhythms are receptive, those two sectors of existence do enmesh… Seek More
Principle of Affinity
There is a principle of affinity. To see another level you do have to achieve a resonance with it. There does seem to be a bit of glorification of this and I think the reason would be that some levels do feel uplifting. They can create a sense of euphoria as the fairies dance did in legend. How does a beginner begin to astral travel? You start from where you are at. It is like a reversal of the polarity of your energy. You sort of invert to incarnate. It is a necessary polarization to be even able to occupy… Seek More
The One Point
The daemons are not the monsters even in angelic lore. The idea that angels are creatures of beauty and demons horrible monsters is false. Those who tend the darkness are truly kindly but the big scare isn’t demons, it’s yourself. Yourself made manifest in all its terrible glory. So astral journeying can have a use and many near death experience (nde) survivors are reported to undergo a radical personality change. Type A personalities become less obsessed. Apathetic individuals become more engaged. On some level I think they do recall enough of the truth to realize the purpose of still being… Seek More
Incarnation
In Gnostic Christianity they speak of resurrection in the Gnostic sense, of being truly reborn into life. They see a life without knowledge of spirit as being among the dead, under the governance of Samael lord of the blind. a.k.a Shaitan to the Yazidi people. The demi-urge, who took governance of this world after the creator rested and who claimed that one should have no god above them, was not to worry. No one does. Not in general at least. The creator in Gnostic lore was known as iao, meaning the void. Not as in emptiness but as in formlessness.… Seek More
Spiritual Body
I watch human beings traverse the astral a lot. They are sort of sleep walking. On the level I call home, the metaphysical and here, there is really one important factor. The concern is this. Often people experience something on that side and say “Oh, wow!” or like in the movie ‘Close Encounters’ they make a mountain out of mashed potatoes and say “this must have meaning!”. In a way it does, but they lose perspective. This emphasis on the physical honestly makes no sense to me, nor would it make sense to eschew the physical on that side. The space is a… Seek More
Transcendence
Dreams, emotions, thoughts and words are resonant portals within the astral. They tend to aggregate. There are “higher” and “lower” vibratory thoughts, and there is also harmonious or dissonant, elemental or spiritual, all sorts of coordinates. I don’t need to modulate my spiritual state of being to move in the astral. There are levels that seem to ignore human thought, that with a force of attraction entrain individuals and groups, and there are levels that seem to require human thought. It’s quite a flow. A sort of spiritual info super highway. I find it sort of boring. It can feel… Seek More
Astral Logistics
Astral logistics is basically manifestation, but bigger. Logistics is the practice of managing energy and resources, and when it seems that something out there has a mind of its own, well it doesn’t have one unified mind. There are many minds, and they are all interacting. Karma, providence, even chi flow, are all just aspects of astral logistics. The astral plane itself actually mirrors the astral body in a lot of ways, sort of like an astral “Gaia consciousness”. So, why does it seem so complicated you might ask? Well, the whole process of creation is not your creativity and… Seek More
Using Astral Energy
The definition of astral energy is any spiritual/psychic energy. Life force. It is the raw life force. It’s the “observer force” from physics. It’s why they say in the Bible, if there were no human beings the rocks would praise God. Is it like when people have out of body experiences? It’s like that if they shift their awareness away from this bible of localized slow matter. Could you call it the power of mind? Well… and the heart. Without matter you would just have energy? Without matter you have only mind/heart. Even one of Jesus disciples said that which… Seek More
Power of Intention
Attention is one power of astral logistics. The other power we have of astral logistics is intention. We are told intention doesn’t matter, and that it doesn’t matter what you intend to do. It’s a clever trick, because it keeps us off our feet. It keeps us doing what we must. If we keep paying attention to our intention, we might actually do it. Can’t have that now can they? If all of our attention was on our intention, and this was true of everyone, what would life be like? More wins. Indeed. Motivated people. We might actually cooperate with each… Seek More
