What is the astral plane?

[cistanche_enjoyer]

When spiritual teachers talk about accessing the astral plane, what exactly do they mean?

Is it another 3D-like reality that you can navigate with your mind, but is separate from our material 3D reality? 

Looking also for any experiences of users on this forum that accessed the astral plane

I haven't been into that plane myself, but I like this pyramid that I've found on reddit. Maybe it has some truth to it.

The astral plane is a supernatural plane of existence proposed by esoteric philosophies, some religious teachings, and New Age thought. It's often described as a non-physical dimension where consciousness exists beyond the physical world, associated with dreams, out-of-body experiences, and spiritual travel.

I have accessed 2 different planes of existence.

First one i would call the astral plane or the end of human dream:  This one happend naturally, after coming home after driving 850km from my gurus home and going to bed to sleep, the black screen started dissapearing and i would start feeling extreme ecstasy going higher and higher, i was becoming aware of the non physical astral body that i could see through, the veins/nervous system were visible, and those veins/nervous system became vibratory, then i lifted up my hand to look at the vein and i zoomed in inside of it, and then i said it's too much i'm not ready yet and i woke up.

Second one: This was done with the help of LSD, with my eyes closed i could travel in beautifull spiritual world full of peace, if i wanted to know any information i could get it and channel it back to the real world, i would see beautifull arena/stadium build in roman style etc.

I guess these 2 experiences are interconnected with each other, in first experience outer and inner became 1. In the second lsd experience i didn't really feel the oneness between inner and outer.

 

Hopefully this helps

It’s the reams of light more dense that spirit but less than matter.

I don’t know what any of that means!

Like clouds floating in a void. You look closer at the clouds and they form into scenes and objects and people and you can land there and talk to them and you know you are doing it.
