What is the Astral Plane? Part 2

What is the Astral Plane? Part 2

In my last hub I explained my perception of the Astral Plane as simply the collection of unresolved thoughts and emotions, the “what ifs” of our lives. That includes past lives as well.

If you’re anything like me, my mind can babble on endlessly about what is happening in the world around me. I’m so used to it, a lot of times I don’t even notice what it saying. But, every thought has creative potential. When connected to an emotional desire, you’ve just lit a fuse.

My emotional body can start, intensify, and storm out of an argument with someone that isn’t even there in the room with me. That creates a pretty dense astral field.

Amazing creative power, and a complete waste of energy. When you think about how many thoughts and emotional desires we empower everyday, but don’t follow through on, to consider how many have accumulated over lifetimes would, at first, be a number so huge it would make the national debt appear quaint in comparison. Makes sense why monks and many saints isolate themselves from the world to make it easier to have only one thought. Devotion to God.

Fortunately there’s a cure for all of us who don’t plan on living in a cave.

As spiritual beings, we use this matter plane to reflect both what we excel at, and what hinders us from accomplishing our image of enlightenment. One of the first things to realize, is we don’t have as many thoughts and emotions as it seems, they just keep repeating in different packaging. There’s reason for this. We want them to, so we can get them resolved. Getting them resolved clears them from our aura so we can radiate a higher frequency. Remember, resolve means either following through with a thought/desire or releasing it completely, knowing it isn’t in your long-term best interest.

One conscious thought has the power to resolve millions of random ones.

At the beginning of my last writing I spoke of being confused as to if I should quit my job or not. In truth, the job isn’t the issue. I would do well to ask myself what I want in my life. Not the material things, but the qualities I want. One simple test question to ask yourself is, ‘How do I want to be remembered.’ When you’re gone, people talk less about the things you owned and more about the type of person you were. By focusing on a few qualities, you simplify the blueprint of your creative process. Instead of basing your life on a fluctuating reaction to outside stimuli coming from things, you begin to live at a conceptual level. This is the Ethereal Plane and it will always trump the Astral Plane because it is designed through intent by the soul. Astral energy is random and thus has no true, lasting power because it has no constant. This lack of a constant is its weakness.

With just a little self reflection about qualities, you can begin cleansing the clutter from your astral field and build a stronger connection to soul.
