The term astral is used in many different ways. In our philosophy, it general means a state of consciousness other than the physical worlds. It is a state of consciousness where the make-up of matter is of amins and not atoms.

Many people search for out of body experiences without knowing what they really are or how to produce them. It is thus very difficult for them to recognize these phenomena. There is a strong opposition between initiatory experiences and psychological experiences. The latter do not belong to initiatory techniques. It is extremely important to know what domain you are working on and what are its limits.

You bet! And if you astral project, and stay near the lower astral worlds, you are bound to run into them. Some call them parasites, but I only run into them when I am just leaving my body and am close to the physical world. As soon as I raise my vibrations, they cannot enter the higher worlds. Dead people can have many appearances. It has been commented over and over that the higher their vibration, the more they appear like a radiant star.

Astral travel, in its most basically defined form is the ability of the intangible aspect of the sub-conscious mind to depart from the conscious mind, which normally occurs when the person is either sleeping or in a meditative state. One of the most defining and unique characteristics of astral travel is that it is characterized by a vivid dream like state.

Superficially, the idea of having a double may seem to explain the OBE. However, as soon as this idea is pursued, problems become obvious and the system has to get more complicated to deal with those problems. One of the most complex, and certainly the most influential, of such systems is the theory of astral projection, based on the teachings of theosophy. In 1875 Madame Blavatsky founded the Theosophical Society in New York, to study Eastern religions and science.

Typically, your own language, but then there is what Robert Monroe calls a ROTE (thought ball) and it doesn't matter what language you speak, because it's all done telepathically.

These are very clear. When you bi-locate during remote viewing, your consciousness is literally at the target. It is no different than being there in the physical (see Glossary for a breakdown of terms like bi-locate and target). The astral, depending on what level you are on, is just as clear. The higher the level, the more brilliant. The lower levels tend to be "darker", and more dull in nature.

Not always. Because you are both occupying the same space and you are both really just "ghosts". A ghost is simply a spirit without the body. Also, people have mentioned that they have been questioned by astral entities as to whether or not they had "bodies" in the physical which means some of them cannot tell as well. The only time I can tell is if I can "sense" that they have died. Not so much "worlds", but levels, each separated by vibrations.

Possibly not. If you often enter a "dream world" after having the experience of leaving your body, that is basically the same as the method called Wake-Initiation of Lucid Dreams. Keep in mind that many people believe that "astral projection" or "out-of-body experiences" are actually lucid dreams. Whether these are real psi phenomena or the creative product of your dreaming mind, learning to dream lucidly will expand the variety of your experiences.

Lucid dreaming is something that everybody can understand. Most people have already had a lucid dream. No single theory about astral projection is accepted even in the astral projection community. If you are prepared to spend money, there are some gadgets to help people dream lucidly. Usually, they will give a light or sound signal shortly after the REM state is detected. Hypnosis tapes usually focus more on self-improvement and you cannot decide what to do with your hypnotic trance.

Astral Aquarius PVC system design & standards incorporate significant engineering safety factors which should translate to a long service life Astral Aquarius System have a design service life of 50 years. Astral Aquarius System is not susceptible to corrosion, scale build up or electrolysis in areas where water, solid and / or atmospheric conditions are aggressive. Astral firmly believes that our system will provide a service life as long or longer than alternative materials on the market.

Yes, As a professional, you will quickly realize that PVC can be installed at least 25% more quickly than metal systems. Financial savings are also realized with regard to lower tool costs and insurance advantage. Even considering the frequent rise and fall of the metal price structure, PVC offers a continuing materials cost advantage, as much as a full 50-60 % material savings today.

Noveon, Inc., the world leader in CPVC technology, invented CPVC more than 40 years ago. Astral CPVC is a patented rigid thermoplastic chlorinated polyvinyl compound used in the manufacturing of a plumbing system that won't pit, scale or corrode.

Many investigators are convinced of the reality of astral projection. Among the best known are Muldoon and Carrington, and Crookall. Sylvan Muldoon claimed to be able to project at will and described his experiences in The Projection of the Astral Body [MC29] written in collaboration with the psychical researcher Hereward Carrington. Together these two collected many cases of spontaneous OBEs which they amassed as support for the reality of astral projection.

I've been to the moon, and when I described another location I had been to, someone said it was Mars (dome shaped buildings and a dark, shadowy atmosphere--like inside Mars). The life you see there is not physical, but astral (the life on Mars may have been physical, but not detected by our current technology. When I went to the moon, there was a structure there that was no longer inhabited, but when it was, it was by humans (mainly men). It appeared to be some sort of compound.

Both. After a cycle on earth, the spirits leave the physical and have to inhabit another locale, and what they were here, may be what they will be there. People are not "bad", but instead are judged that way because they are hurt, confused, afraid, shamed, and so forth. When they leave this physical life, they have a chance to heal before they begin another. People also get to see the wrongs they have done to others, and I hear this is a very painful process.

U.V. acts as a strong catalyst for the oxidations process which breaks down the polymer chains, leading weakness in the pipes & fittings and to loss of hydrostatic strength." Above effect is very much possible with materials like PP & PE. But for PVC main process is dehydrochlorination not Oxidation. This dehydrochlorination does not break down the polymer chains to any significant extent after outdoor exposure, being mainly limited to a surface discoloration effect only.

Spells never have an astral form. They have auras, as all living and magical things do, but spells never have an actual astral form. That's why you can't attack a spell in astral combat, for example (as you could in SR2). Astral perception while assensing is still a psychic phenomenon. Though physical characters can see and hear the astral form, the astral form perceives only shadows, auras, and emotional content. Dual-natured characters are limited by their physical bodies.

Yes, but since the technological aspect of the weapon (moving parts, monofilament, laser blade, etc.) doesn't apply in the astral, the weapon should be treated as its nearest basic equivalent (a chainsaw would simply be a club, a laser crescent axe would just be an axe, and so on).
