An outpost in the astral planes, is a place which is established by an advanced yogi, where that person or someone assigned by him, resides. One can reach that place only if one has the vibration energy of the place, otherwise the place is invisible and cannot be reached.

Student yogis are sent, called, transferred or attracted to that place when a special technique is required which is not available elsewhere. Usually repeat visits are not allowed. One is given one transfer energy which is a one-time visit allowance. The reason for this is that the advanced yogi who is at that outpost has other assignments and must also complete his personal practice. He does not have the time to associate whimsically with others.
