times.This series of articles attempts to shed a little light on the subject, and hopefully, explainwhat its all about. The theories and conclusions in this Treatise are largely drawn frommy own projection experience. It is the goal of this Treatise to develop greaterunderstanding and new, simpler and more effective techniques for projection. Theideas, theories and techniques discussed here are constantly under development and aresubject to modification and change as new discoveries and insights come to light.What is the Astral Dimension?The astral is the closest dimension to the physical. It overlays and permeates the worldlike a huge mind net, catching and holding all thought. Its contents are created by thecollective consciousness of the world mind. It contains all the thoughts, memories,fantasies, and dreams of every living thing in the world. In it, the laws of sympatheticattraction, or like attracts like, causes this ocean of mind stuff to strata and settle intolayers or pools. These pools of thought are more commonly called astral planes, astralworlds, astral sub planes or astral realms.The astral dimension is composed of astral matter and is aptly described as mind stuff. Itis extremely sensitive to thought and can be molded into any shape or form. Thesecreations can be so perfect as to be indistinguishable from reality.The best way to explain this, mind stuff is to draw a comparison between astral matterand unexposed, high speed photographic film. When this film is exposed to light,focused by the cameras lens, a perfect image of reality is instantly burnt into the film bythe chemical reaction of the film to light. When astral matter is exposed to thought,focused by the lens of the mind, a perfect image of reality is instantly formed out of astralmind stuff by the reaction of astral matter to thought. The complexity and durability of any creation in the astral dimension depends largely on the strength of the mind doing thecreating.DreamsThis is how the subconscious mind creates dreams: By tuning into the astral dimensionduring sleep, it can create any scenario it wishes. This is the subconscious minds way ofsolving problems and of communicating with the conscious mind. It creates a series ofcomplex thought form scenarios and projects them into the mind stuff of the astraldimension, where they become solid. The conscious mind then lives through andexperiences these created scenarios in the dream state. In a way its like a movieprojector (subconscious mind) projecting onto a movie screen (astral dimension).Thought FormsAny new object in the real world is assimilated into the astral dimension over a period oftime. A thought form representation of it first grows in the lowest part of the astral, closeto the physical dimension, becoming more and more permanent as time goes on. Aswith all thought forms, the more attention paid to it the quicker it grows.The higher up in the astral dimension, or the further away from the physical, the lessthought forms, of the physical world, as we know it, are found. Physical things have tosoak in to it for a very long time before they take shape, and are found, in the higherastral.Have you ever tried to move
