The Astral Plane is just at the starting gates of the lower realms.
The Astral Plane-
The Astral Plane is a level of heaven. Most individuals after the death of their physical body, a near death experience or astral projection go to a realm that most people call "heaven" are actuality almost always referring to what is called the "Astral plane". The Astral plane is the realm of emotions. In VARDANKAR we refer to the Astral body on the astral plane as the emotional body because it is the vehicle through which emotions are perceived and experienced.
Some people might find a few regions in the Astral plane reminiscent of the sparkling cities and dazzling fields of brilliant colorful flowers in the movie the Wizard of Oz. The mid and high astral planes are so heavenly beautiful with vivid colors, dazzling heavenly sights, awe inspiring wisdom and impressive personalities of well known gurus, demi-gods and saints that this level of astral plane heaven is as I mentioned before often mistaken for the ultimate heaven.
There are with in the Astral plane many subplanes and or what some call regions, dimensions or places just like the Earth has many different places and states of consciousness from the beautiful beaches of Hawaii to war torn deserts. Likewise the Causal and Astral plane have countless subplanes so there is much confusion. For example some Authors and speakers when they refer to the 5th dimension or 7th dimension may only be Speaking about a sub-plane or group of sub-planes in the Astral plane or Causal plane. (See God Worlds chart on the menu.)
Those who assume the Astral plane is the ultimate heaven are often in for a jarring surprise as after delighting in the beauties of angels, light beings, and what ever heavenly landscape they gravitate to for a few minutes or a thousand years they are often greeted by a guide who informs them that it is again time to leave the astral plane and reincarnate into a new baby body. The illusion of the permanence of this astral plane heaven is wiped away as a new clean slate is created in a new life in which the individual forgets it happened in the first place. Although many places with in the astral plane are both fun and educational the astral plane is not the ultimate heaven of spiritual freedom as many assume but a prison for Soul.
It may come as a shock to some but the Astral plane is only at the starting gates, it is the second plane contained in the lower worlds (lower heavens) of which the physical universe is the first plane. As I mentioned before the lower planes or lower heavens such as the astral plane have duality: light and dark, good and evil. The astral plane or these lower worlds contain different concentrations of what is called M.E.S.T. meaning matter, energy, time, and space. Each progressive heavenly plane higher that we go the less the matter and the more the concentration of spirit. Therefore the astral plane has less matter and more spirit just as the causal plane has even less matter then the astral plane and so on. The understanding that there are many more heaven levels past the Astral plane for the adventurous in spirit this would be exciting news that there are more and more higher heavens to learn of.
There are many people who travel to the Astral plane heaven or have a near death experience there and will come across beautiful glowing "light beings" who may be spiritual guides, or impressive personalities like famous well known demi-gods or saints or even powerful entities. These various powerful light beings of the astral plane have magical powers and impressive wisdom that dazzle and rivet the individuals attention to the captivating magic show and a sight seeing extravaganza. These astral plane beings will even tell the individual that he has found the ultimate realm. What many don't realize is that the Astral plane which is a lower heaven has wisdom mixed with Maya meaning illusion. The entities in the Astral plane will tell the individual that he has reached the highest heaven. The illusion part is that the individual will be kept busy with fascinating distractions. But none of these astral plane distractions lead to God itself.
If individuals explore far enough into the Astral plane heaven they may come across an incredibly large, powerful, glowing being. In the astral plane it is a large being with human like attributes and it glows with light. This powerful, impressive male being that glows may tell the individual that it is God, the creator. This astral plane being is so powerful and huge and glowing that most people will believe that this lower heaven lord is God itself. This powerful glowing being that is a creator in the lower worlds of time and space is however NOT God. But it may trick the individual in the astral plane into believing that it is. It is in fact the negative power which has both the positive and negative dualistic face. In a golden age or among positive people it is the face of kindness, good deeds, charity, worldly love and lower world spirituality. In a dark age or among negative people it is the face of darkness, cruelty, harshness and negativity. In this duality of it's positive and negative faces or focuses it aims to trap the soul in the astral plane or lower heavens.
HURAY (God) on the other hand is not humanoid in appearance nor is God in the astral plane or lower heavens of duality. As the Lord of the lower astral plane heavens is male which is a feature of duality light and dark, male and female it is not the HURAY or God which is far far beyond astral plane or the lower heavens in the pure positive God Worlds of pure spirit.
In fact as briefly mentioned on the homepage a little known fact that is almost a secret is that there are two levels of heaven that are completely different. The lower heavens or lower worlds such as the Astral plane are actually like prisons of reincarnation. (The astral plane is the first level in the lower worlds.) However at a completely different second level far beyond the astral plane or lower heavens known in Vardankar as the Pure Positive God Worlds which are so incredible, breathtaking, filled with blissful indescribable brilliant white light and sound and such a feeling of freedom that it is beyond description.
Moving Beyond The Astral Plane
We can move far beyond Astral Projection that occurs on the astral plane and experience the part of us that is eternal and completely free and in this series of realms we have direct perception with a three hundred sixty degree view point. Far, far beyond the astral plan in the higher worlds Soul experiences love, wisdom, power and freedom. We experience seeing, knowing and being. We are in pure spirit consciousness. In these worlds there is no longer matter but pure light and sound that soul is a part of, free of the mind and emotions that are like filters that put soul in bondage to lower realities and being in a state of semi sleep.
Far beyond the astral plane and the three planes above it, in the Pure Positive God Worlds Soul is in a state of total awareness, knowingness, omniscience, omnipresence, and omnipotence. The light and sound in these pure positive realms is the VARDAN (divine spirit) which is voice and expression of HURAY God itself.
On the astral plane there is much light and sound but it is mixed with matter, energy, space and time. The light and sound is also of a lower vibratory rate. However the matter on the astral plane is less dense and there is a higher concentration of spirit then the physical world and therefore what we think manifests much more quickly. Beyond the astral plane when soul makes direct contact with the pure light and sound in the pure positive God Worlds beyond time and space, in one instant it receives far more love, wisdom, power and freedom than countless years studying, praying, meditating, or reading on Earth or the Astral plane. The pure positive God worlds are beyond amazing and later in this website we will open curtains to reveal more.
Anybody that is bold and adventurous and resourceful enough can learn to go beyond astral projection or the astral plane to learn what we call in Vardankar: out of body Tuza (Soul) Travel and have their own personal experiences far far beyond the astral plane and in these incredible Pure Positive God Realms.
My Out of Body Experience on The Astral Plane
For years I have practiced Vardankar techniques. On one occasion, just like those who have near death experiences I began a spiritual exercise and did out-of-body travel to the Astral plane. (This is different then Astral Projection to the astral plane that uses the Astral Body). I took my awareness away from my physical body and appeared in a beautiful heaven of white light with a subtle pink afterglow. There are so many countless regions in this astral plane after world that perhaps the closest analogy would be like each region is a different country with in the same globe. Each has completely different environments such as everything from a beautiful ocean paradise to a crime ridden getto. The diversity of the Astral plane regions is however much more diverse then on Earth and also it is much much larger.
As mentioned earlier since there is less matter and more spirit in the astral plane, individuals who do astral projection or out of body travel in the astral plane can more easily manifest thoughts. For example in the astral plane it is not uncommon to see people enjoy the ability to fly through the skies.
Other Astral Plane Regions contain buildings large and more colossal then Earth such as the Astral Plane Museums filled with beautiful Art or inventions. There are on the astral plane huge captivating libraries, and fascinating and wondrous sights.
In the mid and lower astral plane regions people often tend to bring with them the same expectations and same problems they had on Earth to the astral plane such as low self esteem or blue moodiness . In the astral plane they may as a result create a more gloomy surrounding. Just like there are beautiful areas in the Astral plane there are also dull, dingy or dark areas in the astral plane or just plain ordinary places. In the lower astral plane it can get quite negative. In Often many astral plane regions contain places of collective groups of souls who's shared realities, expectations and beliefs actually manifest into actual places where they live those realities in that collective region of the Astral plane.
There is for example for those who have a near death experience or astral projection on the astral plane, one region with pearly gates, large glowing angels, and so on and then another completely different astral plane region resembling a modern city. People tend to gravitate to the astral plane region that they expect and resonate with.
Out of body Tuza Travel is far superior to Astral projection which is limited to only the astral plane. One reason for this is that astral projection can be dangerous. Another reason is that astral projection is limited to the physical, super physical, and astral planes but gives the illusion that the practitioner has reached an extremely high state of consciousness when in fact they have just barely scratched the surface of the astral plane. The state of euphoria often accompanies an astral plane experience as opposed to a deep knowingness and profound experience of wisdom, power, freedom and divine love that is found during many out of body Tuza (Soul) Travel experiences that go far beyond the astral plane and into the pure positive God Worlds.
The Disadvantages of Astral Plane Sight Seeing
The most common problem with these astral plane realms is when we become so dazzled by the glitter that we stay fixated at one level of the astral plane heaven like the classic fable of the town "ghost" that stays in the same old west town and repeats the same monotonous actions because his old ways are safe, familiar, and comfortable. He is attached to his old life, his old beliefs, and cannot move on beyond the super physical or lower astral plane to higher vistas.
Individuals tend to find comfort in the familiar and may stay attached to one level of the astral plane for years or eons. This is why the Spiritual Travelers say that it is only the bold in spirit and adventurous who find God. This is because they take the risk of boldly going beyond the astral plane and Astral Projection to learning out of body travel beyond the astral plane to higher and higher levels of heaven that defy the limitations of human consciousness with the consciousness of VARDAN (divine spirit). It is similar to the Star Trek catch phrase parallel to the true God seeker who will "boldly go where no one has gone before."
As mentioned earlier since there is less matter and more spirit individuals can fly. And the various entities on the Astral plane will often offer mesmerizing sight seeing such as showing the individual an astral plane adventure of seeing the creation of the Earth or Galaxy or other phenomena or aspect of enthralling wisdom.
The Limitations of Astral Projection-
One might at first think this an advantage until after thousands and thousands of times dying, coming to this after world in the astral plane or doing astral projection to this astral plane world many lifetimes and being given this same entertainment over and over again we realize it is another trap of the lower worlds. The old soul comes here to the astral plane and entities approach it saying, "Yes, come and see the invention museum," And the old soul might say, "Yeah, yeah we've seen this a thousand times." And the entity then says, "And let me show you the creation of the Universe and Earth." And the old soul says, "Yes, the last ten thousand times I was here you mentioned that." And the entity continues, "And let me snow you the library of vast books beyond anything you have seen on Earth!"
And they will go on giving the soul enthralling, captivating experiences beyond that individuals wildest dreams. He is captivated by the incredible sights during his astral projection or experience of "heaven" in the astral plane after death. However the less experienced student will benefit from the help of the spiritual traveler. With the spiritual traveler by his side, the Traveler will help the individual break free of the spell of Maya (illusion) in which he could spend decades of wasted time enthralled in wondrous phenomena and instead help the individual tare his attention away from Astral sight seeing to move on and continue the journey beyond astral projection and the lower astral plane prison into higher levels of heaven where he can find spiritual freedom.
Beyond Astral Projection-
After viewing these very highly diverse regions (not by astral projection but by out of body travel to the astral plane) from a birds eye view in the distance initially my destination was to go to a Temple of Golden Wisdom of VARDANKAR (VARDANKAR is the ancient science of out of body Travel) where a Vardankar Spiritual Traveler (someone who is an expert in out of body travel) VARDAN Master was speaking. This Vardankar spiritual traveler Gopal Das is the guardian of the temple of Golden Wisdom on the astral plane and was the Living VARDAN Master of Ancient Egypt.
I entered this temple of golden wisdom on the astral plane and entered a large room with long curtains that hung to the floor. Students were seated on the floor casually and Gopal Daz with long golden blond hair and sparkling blue eyes with the wisdom of God shining through them began to speak, "The individual walks on holy ground no matter where he is. Be it in his neighborhood or so on. We keep our consciousness in the Pure Positive God Worlds. Release from the body is release from bondage to identification with the lowest elements of the self."
He looked at individuals and continued, "Truth is like a bird that cannot be contained in the cage of the mind. It must be set free like the soul set free in out-of-body travel to heaven. Freedom. Then I saw a bird fly. He continued, "The looking glass. The outer world reflects the inner world like the looking glass. You create your reality. And so it is with the Astral world."
After Gopal Daz discourse I thanked him and stepped out and over the steps of the astral plane temple of golden wisdom. His words from my experience are true, dwelling in the Pure Positive God Worlds and focus on HURAY (God) is the only reality worth being truly absorbed in.
The Astral plane is filled with enticing distractions just like the physical world is. When souls believe something in their Earth life and later they come to the Astral plane they start to manifest it. If they are absorbed and mystified by angels on Earth, when they return to the Astral plane they will see angels with wings. On the astral plane and on Earth there are many beliefs, philosophies, religions, paths for a reason. The reason is that though out all of our various incarnations we need different paths or realities at different times in our spiritual evolution. These different realities meet different souls very diverse needs and states of consciousness on earth and in the astral plane. It is as Jesus said, "There are many mansions." Mansions may refer to the endless states of consciousness that souls can move into or shift out of depending on their needs. Some souls for example die and go to the Astral plane heaven or do astral projection and they will see long gone relatives. They experience this reality because this is their need at that particular time.
The Astral Plane: Karma and Reincarnation
One common experience in the Astral plane for some is an individual may have been very loving, kind, wholesome and so on such as feeding the poor, helping neighbors and philanthropy and as a result earned some good karma before reaching the Astral plane. As a result when they get to the astral plane they "cash in" so to speak and use up all that good karma on what would be the equivalent of an all nights included Astral plane Vacation like an expensive resort on Earth only better with an astral plane secluded beautiful beach, the finest food, astral plane parties and so on. And in a year, a hundred years or what ever, they in a flash use up all that good karma on astral plane entertainment. And then later they return to Earth to reincarnate.
There are others however who use their good karma before ever arriving on the astral plane in other ways, one such way is the individual who is living on Earth through having earned good karma can be drawn to learn about the Vardankar Spiritual Traveler who can help him learn to go beyond the astral plane and return to God. At that point it is up to him whether or not he decides to use his good karma to return to HURAY (God) by learning out of body travel. Many will ignore the opportunity and continue absorption in false gurus and the lower planes or astral plane. But backtracking to our previous thought, taking an Astral Vacation sometimes occurs.
The Lords of Karma
Often however allot of times souls on the astral plane will instead go directly before a judge or to be more specific what are called the lords of karma on the Astral plane. Upon arriving on the astral plane they may for a moment have a debriefing perhaps meeting a departed loved one for a moment and then go before these astral plane judges.
A few examples of going before the judges on the astral plane may be a man who was a financially successful Salesman in his Earthly life owned a beautiful big home, perhaps he was famous and talented and has a loving beautiful wife and children. But this man had a karmic issue of looking down at other people that aren't talented or aren't rich or aren't as happy and so on. When he arrives on the astral plane and goes before the lords of karma for example they may say something like: You used up allot of your good karma on a comfortable life. Additionally you need to balance out the attitude of being judgmental. In the last life you had a perfect body but in the next life for your spiritual growth you will be born in a mentally retarded infants body. When you leave the astral plane your family will be poor but don't worry you'll be able to in adulthood earn a living cleaning so you won't starve so don't worry. You may not as likely be married as you will not be as articulate. You may experience others who have the same attitude you once had judging you or making fun of you. He may be upset upon hearing this.
Another example of going to the judges on the astral plane could be a women leaning towards being too feminine as behaving too helplessly such as sending out the message to take care of me I am helpless and dainty. When she meets the lords of karma on the Astral plane she may be told that she had gotten a little out of balance pretending to be helpless so people take care of her perhaps too much. She might be told something like, "You are much more capable then you behaved. In the next life after you leave the astral plane you will be in a male body. You'll be a soldier in a war torn country and then have to become more independent and learn to survive on your own. For the growth of your soul you may be shot at and have to be more resourceful and independent.
Or another example may be a man who is hurtful and abuses his wife may in the astral plane be told that in the next life be told that in his next life he will be a thin frail women, one of five wives of a middle eastern man. That after leaving the astral plane in that life he would learn to have more restraint or have problems and so on. These are somewhat negative slanted examples of astral plane reviews as opposed to positive karma examples but these are shared because the point we wanted to make by sharing them is that in these lower levels of heavens such as the astral plane or lower worlds the soul is not free. It has little control of it's spiritual destiny.
This illustrates how the lower worlds including the astral plane are prisons. We do not have to go the long, endless, toilsome route of countless painful and pleasant incarnations. We can find true spiritual freedom now, in this lifetime by studying with a Spiritual Traveler what is called VARDANKAR which is the ancient science of Tuza Travel who's only purpose is for the individual to return to HURAY (God).
The soul often has the temporary illusion of freedom or happiness in the Astral plane or physical world but a souls incarnations are so varied this is always temporary. From viewing past life records we have come to the conclusion that most souls have both very negative and very positive lives and everything in between in large numbers on the astral plane and physical world. Many individuals will have both joyful and rough reincarnations as a result. We can however transcend the long and slow route on the astral plane and physical plane and find true spiritual liberation by studying Vardankar techinques of out-of-body Travel to learn the spiritual nature of ourselves and the spiritual universe and how to become Self and God Realized in this life.
This has been the section on the astral plane. In the next section you can learn about the Causal plane which is the next level of heaven beyond the Astral plane.
The Astral Plane is a level of heaven. Most individuals after the death of their physical body, a near death experience or astral projection go to a realm that most people call "heaven" are actuality almost always referring to what is called the "Astral plane". The Astral plane is the realm of emotions. In VARDANKAR we refer to the Astral body on the astral plane as the emotional body because it is the vehicle through which emotions are perceived and experienced.
Some people might find a few regions in the Astral plane reminiscent of the sparkling cities and dazzling fields of brilliant colorful flowers in the movie the Wizard of Oz. The mid and high astral planes are so heavenly beautiful with vivid colors, dazzling heavenly sights, awe inspiring wisdom and impressive personalities of well known gurus, demi-gods and saints that this level of astral plane heaven is as I mentioned before often mistaken for the ultimate heaven.

After Gopal Daz discourse I thanked him and stepped out and over the steps of the astral plane temple of golden wisdom. His words from my experience are true, dwelling in the Pure Positive God Worlds and focus on HURAY (God) is the only reality worth being truly absorbed in.
The Astral plane is filled with enticing distractions just like the physical world is. When souls believe something in their Earth life and later they come to the Astral plane they start to manifest it. If they are absorbed and mystified by angels on Earth, when they return to the Astral plane they will see angels with wings. On the astral plane and on Earth there are many beliefs, philosophies, religions, paths for a reason. The reason is that though out all of our various incarnations we need different paths or realities at different times in our spiritual evolution. These different realities meet different souls very diverse needs and states of consciousness on earth and in the astral plane. It is as Jesus said, "There are many mansions." Mansions may refer to the endless states of consciousness that souls can move into or shift out of depending on their needs. Some souls for example die and go to the Astral plane heaven or do astral projection and they will see long gone relatives. They experience this reality because this is their need at that particular time.
The Astral Plane: Karma and Reincarnation
One common experience in the Astral plane for some is an individual may have been very loving, kind, wholesome and so on such as feeding the poor, helping neighbors and philanthropy and as a result earned some good karma before reaching the Astral plane. As a result when they get to the astral plane they "cash in" so to speak and use up all that good karma on what would be the equivalent of an all nights included Astral plane Vacation like an expensive resort on Earth only better with an astral plane secluded beautiful beach, the finest food, astral plane parties and so on. And in a year, a hundred years or what ever, they in a flash use up all that good karma on astral plane entertainment. And then later they return to Earth to reincarnate.
There are others however who use their good karma before ever arriving on the astral plane in other ways, one such way is the individual who is living on Earth through having earned good karma can be drawn to learn about the Vardankar Spiritual Traveler who can help him learn to go beyond the astral plane and return to God. At that point it is up to him whether or not he decides to use his good karma to return to HURAY (God) by learning out of body travel. Many will ignore the opportunity and continue absorption in false gurus and the lower planes or astral plane. But backtracking to our previous thought, taking an Astral Vacation sometimes occurs.
The Lords of Karma
Often however allot of times souls on the astral plane will instead go directly before a judge or to be more specific what are called the lords of karma on the Astral plane. Upon arriving on the astral plane they may for a moment have a debriefing perhaps meeting a departed loved one for a moment and then go before these astral plane judges.
A few examples of going before the judges on the astral plane may be a man who was a financially successful Salesman in his Earthly life owned a beautiful big home, perhaps he was famous and talented and has a loving beautiful wife and children. But this man had a karmic issue of looking down at other people that aren't talented or aren't rich or aren't as happy and so on. When he arrives on the astral plane and goes before the lords of karma for example they may say something like: You used up allot of your good karma on a comfortable life. Additionally you need to balance out the attitude of being judgmental. In the last life you had a perfect body but in the next life for your spiritual growth you will be born in a mentally retarded infants body. When you leave the astral plane your family will be poor but don't worry you'll be able to in adulthood earn a living cleaning so you won't starve so don't worry. You may not as likely be married as you will not be as articulate. You may experience others who have the same attitude you once had judging you or making fun of you. He may be upset upon hearing this.
Another example of going to the judges on the astral plane could be a women leaning towards being too feminine as behaving too helplessly such as sending out the message to take care of me I am helpless and dainty. When she meets the lords of karma on the Astral plane she may be told that she had gotten a little out of balance pretending to be helpless so people take care of her perhaps too much. She might be told something like, "You are much more capable then you behaved. In the next life after you leave the astral plane you will be in a male body. You'll be a soldier in a war torn country and then have to become more independent and learn to survive on your own. For the growth of your soul you may be shot at and have to be more resourceful and independent.
Or another example may be a man who is hurtful and abuses his wife may in the astral plane be told that in the next life be told that in his next life he will be a thin frail women, one of five wives of a middle eastern man. That after leaving the astral plane in that life he would learn to have more restraint or have problems and so on. These are somewhat negative slanted examples of astral plane reviews as opposed to positive karma examples but these are shared because the point we wanted to make by sharing them is that in these lower levels of heavens such as the astral plane or lower worlds the soul is not free. It has little control of it's spiritual destiny.
This illustrates how the lower worlds including the astral plane are prisons. We do not have to go the long, endless, toilsome route of countless painful and pleasant incarnations. We can find true spiritual freedom now, in this lifetime by studying with a Spiritual Traveler what is called VARDANKAR which is the ancient science of Tuza Travel who's only purpose is for the individual to return to HURAY (God).
The soul often has the temporary illusion of freedom or happiness in the Astral plane or physical world but a souls incarnations are so varied this is always temporary. From viewing past life records we have come to the conclusion that most souls have both very negative and very positive lives and everything in between in large numbers on the astral plane and physical world. Many individuals will have both joyful and rough reincarnations as a result. We can however transcend the long and slow route on the astral plane and physical plane and find true spiritual liberation by studying Vardankar techinques of out-of-body Travel to learn the spiritual nature of ourselves and the spiritual universe and how to become Self and God Realized in this life.
This has been the section on the astral plane. In the next section you can learn about the Causal plane which is the next level of heaven beyond the Astral plane.
Astral projection is different then out of body travel because the individual travels in the astral body which is a lower body and more dangerous.
