🌻 The Astral Plane 🌻
The reactions of the lower nature arise through the activity of the astral plane of emotions. 'Astral' is a word that has caused confusion for the last hundred years.
The word comes from the Latin ‘astrum’ and the Greek ‘astron’, (star), meaning 'related to the stars, to the light'. Helena Blavatsky uses it in relation to the original light. Light is a reflection of the consciousness on the most subtle matter.
We call it Akasha or the astral light. When we get to the buddhic plane, we will find more consciousness and less matter there - this is called the state of light.
When Blavatsky speaks of the astral body, it is the body of light and of life. She includes the etheric plane, the vital plane and the emotional plane. When Alice Bailey uses the word astral, she refers to the emotional plane and the body of desire.
But not everything astral is emotional. Therefore, those who study the Bailey books have a limited understanding of the astral body. To equate astral with emotional goes against common sense.
There is a body of life, a body of light and a body of desire; these three taken together is called the astral body. The etheric part of the astral body transmits light. The body of light is called the etheric body.
The astral body also includes the part of life force, prana. And as a kind of sediment, there is the emotional part as well, the desire body or emotional body; in Sanskrit it is called Kama Sarira.
The etheric body acts as a link between the emotional body and the physical body and as a link between the vital body and the physical body.
Through the vital body the etheric body transmits vital force and through the emotional body it transmits emotions.
Between the physical and the vital, there is a thick layer of emotional matter. This layer comes from desires of objectivity and it forms an obstacle between the physical body and the vital body.
When the emotional body is disturbed, the etheric body does not function properly and it does not transmit enough prana to the physical body.
Thus, intense emotions such as strong desire and clinging, anger and fury, hatred, jealousy, envy, pride and prejudice indicate disorders of the emotional body.
They also create obstacles between the vital body and the mental body. When the lower sub-planes of the mental plane become very dense, they pull us down into the emotional plane.
Further, there are obstacles between the mental and buddhic planes through the concretized concepts of mind.
