The Astral Plane And
Its Divisions
By Abhishek Agarwal
The Astral Plane is very real, seeming much more solid and
vibrant than the Physical world. It’s a world without any
need for money, work or any of the other trappings of a
physical existence.
Those who have visited the Astral planes find themselves
in an environment where all senses seem greatly magnified.
These senses are not our normal physical senses, but inner
astral senses.
Thoughts can actually be seen to take shape instantly and
anything desired can be instantly manifested by means of
the powers of the imagination in the very process of
creation. This is also why the Astral worlds are known as
the “desire worlds” and the Astral body known as the
“desire body”. This fact that Man creates with his
thoughts and feelings in the Astral world shows the truth
in the occult statement that Man is a "god in the making".
It shows that we can be supremely creative.
Once you are out in the Astral plane, you will find that
it vibrates at a much higher frequency than the Physical
plane. There is no gravity on the Astral plane. Time and
space are distorted as compared to the Physical. As a
result, time can pass differently than in the physical.
Here, thought plays an integral part, and simply imagining
something in the Astral can cause it to form. Since this
is where all of our hopes, desires, and dreams can
essentially become reality, the Astral plane is also known
as the emotional plane.
In the Astral plane there is no need for food, clothing,
shelter and sleep. We have true freedom. It is our will
that sustains and heals us, and our will that creates the
realm in our image. The Astral planes are made of focused
mental energy. In the spirit world thoughts create
reality, and we frequently create what we are familiar
with.
Divisions Of The Astral Plane :
The Astral Plane is divided into Lower, Middle, and
Higher. Each division contains multiple divisions of
varying vibratory rates.
The Lower Astral Planes :
Are described as darker more primal realms. Some have
described them as the place of Dante's inferno while
others think of them as purgatory. They are where the
souls of the lost reside. Residing here are many beings
including people who are out-of-body, both consciously and
sub-consciously, people who are dreaming, the deceased,
and even beings that never existed on the Physical Plane
at all. Communication with all of the above is possible
while Projected.
The Middle Astral Planes :
Are the realms of divine inspiration free of earthly
desires and conflict. The beings in these dimensions cause
many of the artistic and technical breakthroughs on Earth
by sending silent messages to its inhabitants. This is the
place where many of us journey for guidance and healing.
These realms are frequently a reflection of the world we
live in now. They contain the same vegetation, animals,
and even our own created structures.
The Middle Astral is a plane full of rainbows of vivid
colors and exquisite beauty. It would be an impossible
task to try and rationalize this place. This plane is full
of thoughts, dreams, and ideas, which are manifested as
real objects. Everything including inanimate objects has
auras of energy emanating from them in vivid and bright
colors. Time here is very distorted and it is possible to
see future or past events.
People who have successfully consciously projected to
Middle Astral Planes have described unseen colors and
sounds, breathtaking landscapes and scenery, and even some
things beyond our comprehension. This place is purer in
its formation. The needs and the strife associated with
the Physical world have been left behind. It is a place of
peace and utter bliss - one might go as far as to compare
it to the Garden of Eden.
The Higher Astral Planes :
Are the realms called Heaven by Christians, the Summerland
by spiritualists. This place is beyond the comprehension
of most people, as they are said to be the home of the
Christian God, the Buddha, and other great beings.
The higher astral planes are where we begin to reach
toward self-godhood, becoming fully aware and
acknowledging that all life is symbiotic and connected for
the “good” of all. We realize that each individual is an
essential link in the chain of life and existence in the
physical world affects all of the other realities we do
not perceive.
This awareness often leads people into pantheism, the
belief that all life is sacred and should be protected
from the lowliest worm to the greatest killer. In other
instances the traveler will not turn toward pantheism but
in either case will become truly aware of this fact on a
constant conscious level.
The Middle and the Higher Planes are where the true path
to spiritual and physical healing lies. This is where our
perceptions of life grow and expand by leaps and bounds
freeing us from many of the stigmas of society and its
imposed morality.
When we begin traveling through the Astral realms, we
generally first enter the Lower planes where the Physical
world is still visible, though distorted by our emerging
perception. But as we move into the Middle planes we will
notice that the Physical world becomes less and less
noticeable until finally we move completely away from it
into the Higher planes
