Astral Body Quotes

“Tom Pritscher, a Meta-Hermeneutical Master, inventively explains that when you have suffered trauma, you suffer tears in the fabric of your existence. I see these as holes in your subtle bodies, for example in your Etheric or Astral bodies. Music can create a mesh on which can be woven the warp and weft of etheric filaments in order that the holes in the fabric of your subtle bodies can be repaired. Recall too, that as a multi-dimensional being, you must repair tears that exist in all the dimensions of your existence. The Humanity Healing Network advises that you clear and/or remove any extra, hidden, hiding or multiple souls present within the etheric bodies of each parallel life in order to ensure that your One Original Soul Essence resides in each physical body. You must release all merging soul extensions to their proper time and space continuum.”
― Laurence Galian, Beyond Duality: The Art of Transcendence

“[The causal] body is a matrix of the 35 ideas required by God as the basic or causal thought forces.

The subtle astral body [has] 19 elements

The gross physical body [has] 16 elements. [These are] 16 gross metallic and nonmetallic elements.

“For Leadbeater, the resurrection of Christ is our symbolic awakening from material slumber into astral life. If we can awaken to the reality of our situation despite our embodied condition, then we achieve a sort of solidity of soul that allows us to jump outside the cycle of reincarnation. In this state we can incarnate at our leisure in the vehicle of our choice. Now hinting at a sort of Bodhisattva-Christ ideal, Leadbeater suggests we might, after our own awakenings and ascensions into the astral (and then the transastral) planes, descend again to aid the evolution of humanity.”
