To travel with the stars sometimes called astral travel is really an old technique to work at purifying your thoughts. The name astral means stars. The points of light in question are the clusters of nerves throughout your body. Sometimes during mediation you can catch a glimpse of this world unexpectedly. Whether during the day or night the physical senses can detect a momentary sighting of this world and its inhabitants. To the untrained and inexperienced this can seem startling. Those unfamiliar with the sensations caused when the etheric and physical body interact may feel that it is unworldly. The effects can be as simple as a tingling feeling, a pleasant sensation of warmth. The effects can be unpleasant a sound of a bang. The seeing of multicolored lights. These can even appear as figures with poor physical form. The shapes may alter over time. Knowledge of these events were once openly talked about and studied. Over the centuries these occurrences were quietly ignored. Literature for popular culture ridiculed these events as a form of comedy. Some fantasy, escapism, and even Science Fiction. Without the scientific literature to support people's experiences these rare visions were kept silent. This world is a part of the body. The sensations are registered by the physical sense organs by a reflection of the nerves. If we study a drawing of the nerves in the body. We will notice that they are largely concentrated in the head. The nerves in other parts of the body are more sparsely distributed. The images are only of the nerve sheath without the injection of any foreign diagnostic agents. This magnetic resonance technique takes advantage of the presence of water molecules present near the surface of the nerves. The method can only detect the signals broadcasted by the protons present in the water. More water near a nerve tissue results in more signal. To a first approximation the regions of the nerves in the body resemble that of a dragon, a snake, or a person with a large head and small body. the limbs would have no muscle and blood, as they are only nerves. A figure like this. Little has ever been asked about the origins of using characters with large heads and small bodies to represent individuals from the future. By being aware of this it is not hard to comprehend where the cross over of the study of the nerves became the source for stories regarding aliens. One such story was The Conquerors written in 1929 by a Dr. Keller who was engaged in the work of neuroscience. Indeed David H Keller was a psychiatrist who studied at the university of Pennsylvania (1903 MD), but later turned writer. His stories all involve aspects of the mind but written for the fantasy and science fiction market. We do not have a list of the curriculum offered to psychiatrists at the turn of the century but it is more than likely there was mention of a certain alchemical technique where the consciousness can be housed in a thought form. The material of this house is made from astral and etheric matter. No physical matter was used by the operator. This is purely thought. You would explain it away as using your imagination. The Kabbalist calls this vehicle the Golem (גולם). The symbolic image of a Golem is that of a large head and small body. This is a reflected image perceived by the physical senses. Our thoughts, our dreams and wishes are a product from ourselves. They are the "children" that are mentioned in esoteric texts. This means we often produce matter without form. This matter grows. If we forget about it one day a part of your mind will trigger that Golem. You will experience this thought in some form. It could be sound, light, a dream, a strong emotion. The alchemical approach is to use the vehicle as a method for healing the mind. It is very important to release harmful emotions. They can erupt in nightmares or appear one day in the physical world as a traumatic event. Because of the day to day cyclic experiences it is necessary to purify and clean your thoughts. You yourself have control over your thoughts and your world. To invite a foreign thought or substance relinquishes your rights. Your mind is your kingdom. The garden is yours. What causes these contacts with the astral world? A spark of light, reflection of light on water, stone, metal, glass. Smells can also result in contact. Sound, music, drums. Changes in melody and rhythms. The use of incense, and flowers. The use of flowers can trigger a memory. Textures on surfaces, Combinations of color and shapes. Remember a thought can result in signals from the nerves. The physical senses may record a response from the nerves. The change of breath is key. Meditation and trance, quiet time, and the use of mental concentration can also result in the sensation of a vision, light, or sound. This world is a part of us and we should be aware of who we are. To neglect and call this alien and foreign only is a hurt directed at our own mind. Many texts speak of Love as the way of the saints and prophets. The entrance to the mind is through our own body. To access the stars from the personality we make use of The Thirtieth path on the Tree of Life. This is called the Collective Intelligence. The knowledge of the STARS is from this path. This is the path called in hebrew as Resh. By working with this path great changes occur within the body. The Higher Self must act through personality if changes are to occur. Personality is connected to the physical body. The path connects Yesod to Hod. The reproductive sacral glands to the adrenal gland above the left kidney (facing back view, spine toward the viewer).
