I will start with a small introduction. I don't want to push my views onto anybody, but I think it is important that I expose my metaphysics in order to frame my future posts.
I have come to the conclusion that what we call the 'astral plane' is not actually separate from our day to day physical 'plane'. It is just a matter of 'density' or 'potency', and the only difference between these two apparently distinct 'planes' is a matter of perception. Some things we deem 'real' and others 'imaginary', but this distinction is created by a perceptual filter. Not even two people have this perceptual filter exactly in the same place, and I believe in different times in human history, it might have been very different or even non-existent.
All this is to say that the things we perceive in the astral plane share a space in relation to our physicality. Even the subjective things that comprise our inner worlds.
I will describe the different spaces I have encountered in my travels. Most of which we could describe as part of the afterlife. However, we could spend a very long time talking about life after death and the nature of our psyche both while living and dead, because this is a much more complex topic than we realize (perhaps incomprehensible in its totality).
I think it is useful to think in terms of the 'bodies' of Theosophy. We all have an 'astral body' that is in this very moment perhaps someplace else, doing things we are not entirely aware of (but which do have an impact in our life), and can be interacted with by the living, the dead, and the non-human, both now and while we sleep (or are dead). The key during astral travel for us the living is that at that time, our awareness is focused on that body, and our memory of its activities recalled and stored by our physical brain upon waking (Robert Bruce). Moreover, the contents of our psyche alter how we symbolize the information we perceive. So my descriptions will be this information as interpreted by my psyche.
