THE
ASTRAL WORLD
The
Astral by shamanistic descriptions seems to be a dimension as
real as this world, accessible through the mind. Occasionally a shaman
may claim to physically enter the astral dimensions and
then
the danger is very real, that they are unable to come back to this
realm.
Some
of the exponents of a different realm are a surprisingly eclectic
mix:-
Carl
Jung describes himself as being transported into a region of outer
space, phantasmagorial in appearance.
Carlos
Castaneda wrote several books about his journeys to a realm
which he names as ‘the crack between the worlds’.
William
Blake visited Heavenly Realms.
Inevitably
the Shaman will eventually travel to the next Realm or the
Astral world..
.
This
is a specialist subject, above and beyond normal Shaman skill.
To travel the Astral requires knowledge’s of meditative and magical
aspects which are complicated by the inner capabilities
already
present in any Shaman.
For
this reason, Astral Travel forms a part of the Meditation Course and
is an invaluable aid to the safety and security of the Soul aswell
as the Physical self.
Because
of the true and very real dangers one can encounter, as this
course was being created, I took the decision to add to this article the instructions to follow the Meditation Course.
There
is a vast array of skills to meditation and its many advantages
to the human psychic. The Meditation Course is worth studying
for its own benefits. I have included here the safety rules
and the astral links to be noted though we wish to emphasise that
the actual Meditation course is vaster than the small amount of
information included here...
Happy Astral travels.
Keep
a journal for your meditations and a separate journal for your observations
on all other related subjects. You may need to refer to
information and your journal will definitely make interesting
reading
later in life.
