[Hide] (62.4KB, 2010x1310) Reverse So, been doing a decent amount of reading about the nature of reality as referenced from a couple sources (Emerald Tables by Dorian, Kybalion, Divine Pymander, etc). Some of this is also interpreted from the understanding of the hologram/matrix nature of the world as presented by the Monroe Institute documents and the Gateway project. Whether these things are true is irrelevant, I suppose but this is how I understand they believe the world is ordered:
The body is made of the the blood, flesh and bone in the physical word. The Soul directs the body through the use of the Spirit/Ether, which is like a membrane between the Astral and the Physical. Call it a veil, if you like, but it has more uses than that. Above the soul is the Mind, which is essentially the portion of the godhead that motivates and controls the Soul in the Astral. This is also the domain of God, which is supposedly perfect and unmoving in nature.
Contrary to the Astral is the Umbral, which is where the Abyss and an endless fire which generates all sorts of things exist. From here is derived all of the spooky/negative spirits that plague, and then eventually populate via ascension, the real world. There are things that exist in the Ether, much like sharks, that can and do feed on the living bodies and souls of the entities that exist in their relative area, but otherwise those things are essentially animals that will eventually fade away/be eaten by something else.
That seems to be the practical, worki
