The Astral Plane - It’s Scenery, Inhabitants and Phenomena - Astral Mysticism - C. W. Leadbeater The astral plane, also called the astral world, is a plane of existence postulated by classical (particularly neo-Platonic), medieval, oriental and esoteric philosophies and mystery religions. It is the world of the planetary spheres, crossed by the soul in its astral body on the way to being born and after death, and generally said to be populated by angels, spirits or other immaterial beings. In the late 19th and early 20th century the term was popularised by Theosophy and neo-Rosicrucianism. The Barzakh, olam mithal or intermediate world in Islam and the "World of Yetzirah" in Lurianic Kabbalah are related concepts. Plato and Aristotle taught that the stars were composed of a type of matter different from the four earthly elements - a fifth, ethereal element or quintessence. In the "astral mysticism" of the classical world the human psyche was composed of the same material, thus accounting for the influence of the stars upon human affairs. In his commentaries on Plato's Timaeus, Proclus wrote; "Man is a little world (mikros cosmos). For, just like the Whole, he possesses both mind and reason, both a divine and a mortal body. He is also divided up according to the universe. It is for this reason, you know, that some are accustomed to say that his consciousness corresponds with the nature of the fixed stars, his reason in its contemplative aspect with Saturn and in its social aspect with Jupiter, (and) as to his irrational part, the passionate nature with Mars, the eloquent with Mercury, the appetitive with Venus, the sensitive with the Sun and the vegetative with the Moon."

Product Description: For many a year men have been discussing, arguing, enquiring about certain great basic truths—about the existence and the nature of God, about His relation to man, and about the past and future of humanity. So radically have they differed upon these points, and so bitterly have they assailed and ridiculed one another’s beliefs, that there has come to be a firmly-rooted popular opinion that with regard to all these matters there is no certainty available—nothing but vague speculation amid a cloud of unsound deductions drawn from ill-established premises...read more

Product Description: Some Glimpses of Occultism, Ancient and Modern

The deep interest and importance of the research which this book describes will best be appreciated if introduced by an account of the circumstances out of which it arose. The first edition, consisting mainly of articles reprinted from the Theosophist, dealt at once with the later phases of the research in a way which, though intelligible to the occult student, must have been rather bewildering to the ordinary reader. These later phases, however, endow the earlier results with a significance that in the beginning could only be vaguely conjectured. I am the better entitled to perform the task that has been assigned to me—that of preparing the present edition—by reason of the fact that it was in my presence and at my instigation that the first efforts were made to penetrate the mystery previously enshrouding the ultimate molecule of matter.

El plano astral es la región del universo inmediata al plano físico. En él la vida es más activa, los colores son infinitamente más vivos y la forma es más sutil que la del plano físico, por lo que penetra fácilmente los cuerpos físicos. Las entidades astrales pueden modificar rápidamente su aspecto, porque la materia astral de que están compuestas puede tomar forma con el impulso del pensamiento. C.W. Leadbeater nos transmite en esta obra ya clásica, una idea clara y concisa de lo que es el plano astral y de las enormes posibilidades que encierra su conocimiento. Las enseñanzas aquí descritas permiten comprender y colocar en su debido lugar muchos hechos en apariencia extraños, como la existencia de las hadas, los duendes, los gnomos, las sílfides, las apariciones de fantasmas, la comunicación con otros seres, la clarividencia, las materializaciones y la transmutación de los metales, por citar sólo algunos.
