#Astral planes full

The environment was full of a comforting peace. If it hadnвЂ™t been on hilly terrain, it could have been one of the noble districts of Vienna. It was beautiful, neat and with houses from the GrГјnderzeit. The city was unknown to me, but somehow it seemed familiar. These rare observations teached me how subjective the perception of surroundings in the 'astral world' can be. In some few astral travels I had the experience that I perceived my environment in a different way than my companions. This model is also very suited to explain the anthropomorphic appearance of astral worlds.

If we consider telepathy and similar phenomena as a connecting energy/ information, then it would be possible to build вЂplatformsвЂ™ or вЂstagesвЂ™ from pure imagination вЂ“ virtual 'places', in which intelligences with similar attitude and auric quality can communicate with each other. This hypothesis is based on the idea that вЂ“ similar to virtual cyberworlds вЂ“ no material basis is necessary to experience something or to communicate. Onion model to illustrate the human auric layers ('sheaths') and those of the planet ('planes')ДЄlternative Model вЂ“ Virtual Communication Platforms through Telepathic Resonance The planet can be seen as a big organism with a structure that is analogous to the human subtle structure. However, in both views, the otherworldly planes are structured similar to the human auric layers (sheaths, vehicles). Only within one plane can be found a вЂverticalвЂ™ stratification as in the model explained above. In other views, the planes are interpenetrating undisturbedly because every plane belongs to another dimension. In the older teachings, these subtle planes can be compared to the structure of an onion вЂ“ the denser planes are nearer to the material world, while the subtle planes get more and more distant from earth. The more these planes or strata are away from the material plane, the subtler they get вЂ“ that means that they obey less and less to 'physical' rules and the higher these planes are, the nearer they get to pure consciousness which is not longer bound to any form or appearance (according to Buddhistic and Tantric teachings, consciousness can exist by itself and does not need a body as carrier). About the Stratification of otherworldly planesДЄfter theosophic teachings, the world beyond is divided into several strata.
