Surely we all would like to know in great detail what awaits us in the hereafter, but it happens that our physical body is too dense to poke our heads into this other sphere of reality and see what happens there. However, in the depths of our being we all have an inner wisdom that is capable of recognizing everything that is true in the statements, theories, hypotheses and stories that reach us on this other area of reality which we lack tangible evidence. and definitive
Entering this territory therefore means having to leave aside the conventional methods with which we usually study and analyze the phenomena of the three-dimensional world, and allow our higher, holistic and intuitive mind to guide us through this reality. physics that is the astral plane .
In a first approximation we could say that the astral plane is the dimensional space in which our emotions, our desires, our beliefs, our imagination and our dreams reside . However, this association with the dream world often leads us to think that life in the hereafter could perhaps be something like a dream; that is, confusing, chaotic and usually meaningless. But this is not what the thousands of testimonies of ECM's, astral travel, regressive therapies and others transmit.
Although in the astral we are still under the effects of a certain degree of illusion similar to that of earthly life, those who have been through this type of experience strongly affirm that in this other dimensional space of existence there is a greater visual, auditory, gustatory, olfactory, tactile perception and even new sensory capabilities hitherto unknown. That is to say, everything that is perceived there is lived in a much more intense and real way than we are able to capture on the physical plane, and that in any case a dream was what we had been living until then .
What is life like in the astral world?
There are thousands of stories that accurately detail what is perceived at the gates of this other dimension to which we move once we leave the physical body behind, however, few are those who transcend this kind of antechamber from beyond and They describe what life is like there. We find in this sense valuable narratives from the hand of mediums, seers and channelers of very varied cultural, religious and historical context that when compared, show us a much lighter and more expansive reality than the restrictive physical reality that sometimes oppresses us, but which in turn turns out to be tremendously similar .
A good example of this is the legacy that Emmanuel Swedenborg left us. This scientist, theologian, philosopher and one of the most notable clairvoyants of the Age of Enlightenment (18th century) had no doubt about it. Apparently Swedenborg was able to transport himself to other planes of existence and observe very clearly how life was going on in them. He claimed that people after dying continued to enjoy the same internal and external sensations that they had in the physical world and that as then, we all continue to see, hear, smell, talk, taste and even feel a kind of pressure on the body Very similar to touch . He also said that of course we all have full faculties to think, reflect, imagine, yearn and even be moved by love and affection as we did in our earthly life, although with the peculiarity that by having much more acute sensory perceptions and refined, everything there becomes more alive, crisp, radiant and intense .
These statements were corroborated and extended a century later by spiritualist doctrine, which adds details as unheard of as having the feeling of breathing through the lungs or feeling the heartbeat under the chest .
And it is that if everything that happens in our lives we know that it is being forged on higher planes of existence, where ideals, feelings, thoughts, emotions, desires are born ..., and that it is on the physical plane where everything it crystallizes, acquires form and materializes, it seems reasonable to deduce that there cannot be too much difference between life as we know it on Earth and the reality that awaits us in the Cielo ; that is, in the beyond there .
So much so that the astral plane could be considered as an extension of the physical world where life goes on, and apparently it does in a very similar way, only that without many of the limitations that both crack and restrict our freedom on the physical plane.
In earthly life, every living being has a biological body whose essential nature imposes a series of constraints on complying with it, otherwise its survival would be in serious danger. These conditions are mainly the need to feed to nourish your physical body and find shelter to be able to protect yourself from the inclement weather. In the case of the human being this translates into the need to have a home to live in and resources that allow him to stock up on food and other basic needs. This is how work becomes for the vast majority of people in a need of the first order and of course, all work activity entails the necessary fulfillment of a series of rules, obligations, responsibilities and work schedules which often make our free time reduced to its minimum expression. And this is a limitation that we also tend to increase as we impose new needs of doubtful need. This means that in the physical world we usually have a small margin to do with our time and with our life everything we truly wish to do.
Well, all these limitations inherent in the physical plane vanish immediately once we break into the astral plane. In the astral we have an ethereal body that does not require so much care or attention and which is also free of diseases, dysfunctions and physical impediments of any kind. When the necessities of life support disappear, life acquires an unprecedented degree of freedom that frees us from an unimaginable moment. Not only will we have time to do everything we wanted so much to do in the physical world, but an infinite range of possibilities will open before our eyes.
In the astral there are also towns, cities, rivers, forests, mountains, valleys, beaches, oceans, even exact replicas of the physical environment in the that we lived where we could continue doing everything that so much pleasure and delight provided us then. Who enjoyed music, painting, sports, walks, gastronomy or any other hobby or interest; that same thing can continue doing in a plane that is composed of a more subtle matter than physics but as real as it can be, astral matter .
Another of the characteristics that allow us to understand what life is like on this plane is that since there is no economic or material need, segregations caused by social or economic status disappear and the distinctions related to the sense of Responsibility, solidarity and morality . Beauty in the astral world therefore resides much more in spiritual elevation than in the external countenance.
For most of the beings that access the astral sphere, the sensation could be something similar to that of when we are ready to enjoy a long vacation in which we can finally do everything we want. Saving the distances and logically in a humorous way, this description of the beyond reminds me a little of what would be a long stay in one of these hotel complexes in which the “all inclusive” is usually hired, but in which also It is usual to end a tremendous empacho.
This nice parallel reminds us of what we already know deep down. And it is that once we have given free rein to all our appetites without limit or restriction and we have satisfied all our desires and desires, there will come a time when we will inevitably end up abhorring all that in his day we were so eager to possess. At this point there will only be one thing we can do, look inwards and depart in search of something new and different ; something that has more to do with being than with doing or having .
But the fact that in the astral plane there is no disease, physical pain, misery or hunger, does not mean at all that one is guaranteed happiness here. We know that happiness is not a state that comes from outside but is found and emerges from within . Then it is logical to conclude that there are also many who continue on the astral plane lamenting the same things as before (in their earthly life); that is to say, for everything that they fail to obtain because it not only depends on themselves but also involves other people; as a yearning for recognition that does not occur, an unrequited love ..., as well as the effect of envy, jealousy, lust, addictions, pride, vanity and all those same evils that occur in the world physical.
The principle of attraction operates equally in all planes of existence, but it is in the astral plane where it acquires greater notoriety due to the immediacy of its effects. This powerful universal law leads us to one or another astral territory depending on what we emit and what we attract by pure energy resonance . Whoever feels, for example, a strong attraction for wealth, luxury and ostentation, will be directed as if by inertia to a certain astral strip in which he will be able to see his desires fulfilled and where he will be surrounded by other beings who share their same interests. Whoever likes instead to lead a simple and humble life enjoying silence and contact with nature more than anything else, that same scenario is what you will find in the astral world. Each one will go where he finds his highest degree of consonance.
This means that in the immensity of the astral sphere we find as many vibrational bands as emotional states, desires and beliefs can accommodate a human being. From the densest layers of the astral bass where the beings that remain attached to a material world to which they no longer belong dwell, those mired in confusion and those who suffer because of their own feelings of guilt and regret ; to the highest levels of an astral high in which the most beautiful vibrations of love, joy and joy resonate, going through a vast astral medium in which each and every one of the beliefs that can be brought with them from the earth plane find here its due representation as a tangible reality.
In this way when a person who professes one religion or another dies, it will go without even proposing it to the place to which all believers of that same creed are supposed to go. For Christians it will be Heaven, for Muslims Paradise and for Buddhists and Hinduists Nirvana . All these places are undoubtedly for their inhabitants environments of a pleasant well-being since besides seeing their own spiritual expectations fulfilled, they will be in the company of those who share their same ideology and way of life.
For this reason when someone is happily staying in one of these astral communities and persists in him the belief that this is the end of the road; It is not surprising that what you most want is to remain in that place of consonance despite the fact that none of them have actually reached the true Heaven, Paradise or Nirvana. This is the new illusion to which the human being who lives in the astral plane is subjected. An illusion that this time does not obey the ambiguity of thinking that physical reality is the only possible reality, but a legitimate desire for salvation inherited from its ancient earthly fear.
Keep in mind that the astral is indeed a more subtle and lighter world than the physical one, but in reality it is still a new environment of experimentation in which we continue to learn and evolve in a similar way as we had been doing on Earth.
This means that after this first step to beyond there on the astral plane, which we can perfectly describe as an intermediate world or bridge between the underworld and the true spiritual world; Also here will come sooner or later the time to choose between whether to remain in this sphere of reality until we exhaust our soul experience, or face a second death and continue with our ascending path through higher planes of existence .
