The Astral Devours the Concept of Space
9:59
the astral plane doesn't occupy a space it devours the concept of space lead
10:04
beater makes it painfully clear that to think of the astral in terms of up or down distance or volume is to castrate
10:11
your own perception before you've even begun this place doesn't have above or
10:16
beneath in any way your geometry teacher would respect it exists layered into matter like a motion in a song
10:23
inseparable immaterial and everywhere at once when he says we pass through these planes not by movement but by shifting
10:30
the focus of our consciousness he's not being poetic he's describing psychic
10:36
physics you don't travel to the astral like hopping a train you slip into it like a frequency shift like turning the
10:43
dial on an old radio and realizing another world was broadcasting under your nose the whole time
10:49
forget cartisian coordinates here your location is determined by the vibrational pitch of your
The Seven Subplanes and Their Densities
11:02
soul there are seven subplanes of this thing each a gradient of materiality a
11:08
scale of subtlety where the weight of your being determines your altitude he's not playing games with numerology this
11:15
seven-fold structure mirrors the physical world's own architecture because everything in theosophy
11:21
replicates upward at the densest level you're trudging through the mud of primal instinct astral matter so thick
11:28
it makes your athereic limbs ache at the highest your astral sheath shimmers like
11:33
vibrating glass halfway to dvatanic bliss these aren't abstract vibes
11:39
they're strata the astral body is composed of matter from each level a sedimentation of past cravings and
11:45
present intentions most people never leave the basement they dream and wander and moan in the lower zones mistaking
11:52
sludge for scenery but the higher levels those thin clear edges of the plane are
11:57
bright almost ego dissolving only the clean float
The Three Great Psychic Classes
12:08
there lidbeer slices these seven into three great psychic classes the bottom
12:14
three are like a city sewer system flooded with unprocessed desires emotional toxins and half-formed thought
12:20
forms these are the places where sleepwalkers roam where suicides churn in their leftover hunger where rage
12:27
coagulates into astral fog the middle three are quieter familiar you'll find
12:33
replicas of your neighborhood your bedroom your lover's kitchen because the mid astral is your projected psyche
12:39
reflected back at you like a funhouse mirror the top layer that's where it starts to get real not because it's
12:46
clean or holy but because it's no longer about you up there entities think in
12:51
light memory becomes place and time folds like origami these aren't levels
12:56
of power or privilege they're filters of consciousness your internal compass
13:01
doesn't rise through effort it floats when it's no longer weighed
Ghosts on the Street You Just Passed
13:12
down what throws people off is how the astral overlays the physical like two
13:17
transparencies on an old classroom projector you walk down a street thinking you're alone but the astral
13:24
world is moving through the same space like a spectral superighway ghosts are
13:29
leaning against the brick you just passed a retired lust from 1983 is dancing above a laundromat a thought
13:36
form from your high school math teacher is nesting in a lamp post same space
13:41
different frequency you're not moving in it it's moving through you and sometimes
13:47
when your defenses dip when you're drunk half asleep orgasming grieving you tune
13:52
in just for a moment a flicker of a shadow a whisper behind the veil you think it's nothing but it's the reality

Seeing Every Molecule at Once
14:07
through you don't look at things in the astral you look through them when Lid
14:12
beater describes seeing a rock and observing every molecule inside it from every angle simultaneously he's not
14:18
being metaphorical you are no longer a camera you're an all-seeing lens a multi-perspective organism whose vision
14:25
is not limited by optic nerves or eyelids everything solid becomes a mesh
14:30
objects are no longer defined by outline but by texture of intention echo of use
14:35
memory of touch that house isn't just wood and wire it's stained with arguments perfumed with old hope
14:42
discolored by greed you can see all sides of a glass cube and its entire interior as if they were layers of
14:48
emotion this isn't just expanded sight it's a different relationship to truth
14:54
no more surfaces just
No More Surfaces—Just Substance
15:03
substance he calls it the fourth dimension of vision and that's as close as language can get in the astral the
15:10
uklitian contract is broken sight unhinges from the retina and wraps around things like vapor you don't
15:17
observe objects you inhabit them visually it's the end of linear perspective th
