What is the astral plane?

The astral plane is basically a surface which is two-dimensional. This surface has only up and down elements.

It consists of non-dimensional points. I know this can sound quite complex. Historically we were aware of two planes that being heaven and hell. So what does the astral plane have to do with existence?

If we define the universe as the entity of all that exists and that the plane is in essence our reality. For thousands of years occult workers defined the astral plane as a world. This world consists of union of both abstract and physical aspects.

Going back to the 1900s many occult workers described astral planes as astral spheres, this was known as the sphere of interest alternatively the sphere of influence. The name sphere has also been interchanged with the astral plane.

So as we touched above most common astral planes of both heaven and hell. The other astral planes having time become more obsolete and suppressed. So how can we find an astral plane?  Is the astral plane real? How can we reach the astral plane? When you are reading this website you are in what we called as reality.

When you go to sleep at night you are subconsciously in another reality especially if you dream in a lucid manner. It is thought that lucid dreaming provides access to uncover your subconscious memories. That is why there is much work lucid dreaming and how to connect to dreams which may mean that you are moving onto a different astral plane. When one wakes up, the various parts of one's body take time to respond. It takes much effort and skill in order to go into a more lucid dreaming state.

Those that actually move across into a different astral plane through lucid dreaming often wake up. One can argue that lucid dreaming is not real but then can someone predict that our reality is not real. Do we live in a matrix world? Matrix world is from the film the matrix in that there are different worlds, times and astral things that we can connect to.

Many people have experienced near death events which can be a consequence of physical catastrophe. This can include accidents where we are knocked into subconsciousness.

This consequently results in hallucinations and the mind goes into a different state. The key question we must ask ourselves is do we actually pass onto another astral plane? It has been said that we do!

In conclusion, we can define the astral plane as:
