THE JOURNEY OF THE SOUL. --- PART THREE


The Master Guru continues.... (To find Part 1 & 2 click on the label below marked "Soul journey).

ASTRAL CREATIVITY

The Earth is dark with warfare and murder in the sea, land and air, but the astral realms know a happy harmony and equality. Astral beings dematerialize and materialize their forms at will. Flowers or fish or animals can metamorphose themselves, for a time, into astral men. All astral beings are free to assume any form, and can easily commune together. No fixed, definite, natural law hems them round -- any astral tree, for example, may successfully be asked to produce an astral mango or flower or indeed any other object. Certain karmic restrictions are present, but there are no distinctions in the astral world about desirability of various forms. Everything is vibrant with God´s creative Light.

YOUR ASTRAL BODY

No one is born of woman. Astral persons, through fiats of their cosmically attuned will, bring offspring into being in significantly patterned astral forms. a recently physically disembodied person arrives in an astral family by invitation, drawn by similar intal and spiritual tendencies.
The astral body is not subject to cold or heat or other natural conditions. The anatomy includes an astral brain, in which the omniescient "thousand-petalled lotus of Light" is partially active; and six awakened centres in the "sushummnu" or astral cerebro-spinal axis. The heart, drawing Light and cosmic energy from the brain, distributes them to astral nerves and body cells. Astral beings are able to effect changes in their forms by lifetronic (prana) force and by holy "mantric" vibrations.
In most cases the astral body is an exact counterpart of the last physical form. The face and figure of an astral person resemble those of his/her youth in their previous earthly sojourn. Occasionally someone, like myself, chooses to retain his/her old age appearance.

SIXTH SENSE INTUITION

Unlike the spacial, three-dimensional physical world cognized only by the five senses, the astral spheres are perceptible to the all-inclusive sixth sense -- intuition. By sheer intuitional feeling, all astral persons see, hear, smell, taste and touch. They possess three eyes, two of which are partly closed. The third and chief astral eye, vertically placed on the forehead, is open.

Astral men/women have all the outer sensory organs -- eyes, ears, nose, tongue and skin -- but employ the intuitional sense to experience sensations through any part of the body; they can see through the ear or nose or skin. They are able to hear through the eyes or tongue, and can taste through the ears or skin, and so forth.

Mankind´s physical body is exposed to countless dangers, and is easily hurt or maimed; the ethereal astral body may occasionally be cut or bruised but is healed at once by mere willing.

BEAUTY IN THE ASTRAL WORLD

Beauty in the astral world is known to be a spiritual quality and not an outward conformation. Astral beings therefore attach little importance to facial features. They have the privilege, however, of costuming themselves at will with new colourful, astrally materialized bodies. Just as worldly mankind don new array for a gala event, so astral persons find occasions to bedeck themselves in specially designed forms.
