The Astral Body
By Jeffry Palmer Platinum Quality Author
The astral body is a term widely used to describe a form
of spiritual consciousness. The astral body may be thought
of as the vessel for spiritual self or as a vehicle of the
spirit, soul or consciousness. The astral body is the
manifestation of the energies of an individual life.
Astral projection occurs within the framework of the
astral body. The astral body or spiritual self is not
restrained by the laws of known physics. Our present
understanding of the principles of time, distance and
matter seem to have little effect on the capabilities of
the astral body.
Astral projection is a form of out of body experience in
which consciousness or the spiritual self leaves the
physical body. During astral projection conscious
awareness is separated from the physical self. Some
believe that the astral body and consciousness are
separate entities.
It is my opinion that
they are one in the same. Specifically, I feel that the
astral body is a manifestation of the sub-conscious mind,
a projection of spiritual energy which originates in
thought. The astral body is a creation of the human mind
which demonstrates remarkable characteristics, such as
remote viewing and the ability to move freely even
instantaneously through time and space.
I do not wholly subscribe to the Theosophical description
of the spiritual self manifested by the astral body, which
describes the spiritual body as a psychic stratum which is
experience subjectively as physical and emotional desire.
Within the Theosophical definition of the astral body
there is an implication of base emotional energy serving
as the source of spiritual embodiment.
While I feel that the
sub-conscious mind and the energy of thought is somehow
responsible for the manifestation of a spiritual
consciousness, I do not believe that any one particular
emotion or emotional state is the source for external
manifestations of the psychic body.
