Astral projection also known was astral travel is a phenomenon that was adopted in the recently released Netflix limited series “behind her eyes”. My lack of knowledge of what astral projection means made the series quite difficult for me to understand.
Astral Projection is the ability of parts of your energetic self to be in a different place other than your physical self. You can control this with your thought and focus. Simply by thinking about someone else, a part of yourself is travelling across the “astral plane” to where the person is. This is why when someone else thinks about you, you suddenly come up with that person in your mind, for apparently no reason. The reason for this to happen is because the human being is a multidimensional form of consciousness that can exist in multiple places at the same time. This is why focusing the consciousness in a single human body is generally a confusing, tiring, and hard experience to us. Different people will experience different perceptions of astral projection, depending on their natural spiritual affinities, and their “training” in some technique. Some will be able to astral travel while meditating, and visualize what their projection is seeing. Others will simply glance over the feelings superficially, such as having thought, smells, feelings, emotions, and so on. You can also astral travel when dreaming, or others can do so and appear to you.
The idea of astral projection comes from contemplating the stars. The old Promethean illustration of consciousness as compared to fire and light links it to the light of the planets and stars, where the design and pattern of the stars is a principle, the so-called astral layer of reality which underlies lowest physical layer. To put it another way, one can say that our tangible senses examine that which is farthest away we find order in chaos. Thus the astral body is, so to speak, that aspect of the body having to do with its underlying designs and patterns. As above, so bellow. As there are designs above, so too is there the principle, so to speak, of design within us. Where as the world of the mind could be said to include all ideas and concepts, et., The difference between the mind and the astral is that “the mind” describes consciousness, where as designs and patterns are just that. For example, shapes and patterns found in nature, such as the Fibonacci sequence, while entertained by the mind, these cannot be said to have a mind of their own. So basically, astral projection is basically an old way of expressing the idea of traversing the world of the mind. Though keep in mind that astral entities, ideas that have been given somewhat of a life of their own, are not conscious. Consider for example, a video game, which is the creation of a programmer. It is not alive in the same sense that we are, but it still exists. If it’s files were deleted it would still exist as a potential idea, though it’s forces having been depleted.
