I recently returned to NY from a family trip to Chicago. This is where my family and my wife’s family have laid down physical roots. Both my wife and I have attended all our primary, secondary, and college schooling in Illinois and we have both since relocated physically from that area to NY for 11 years now. So this was a special trip for our family, however didn’t know how significant it would be for me........ About 3:00 am in the morning of June 28, the final day of our trip.
I was pulled into an astral dimension where every sports team member I had in high school and college in this current life existed. All my teammates from the soccer, basketball and track teams were present. When I first arrived I saw Dave (college soccer teammate), I was very excited to see him since I haven't seen him physically since 1988. I greeted him with a huge hug and shook his hand, simultaneously, I noticed our soccer coach, who I had not seen physically either about the same amount of time. He was lying on a couch and as i walked towards him. He got up and walked to the bathroom, initially I was a bit annoyed that he ignored me. (But I had not yet realized that I was in the astral world. I believed that I was at a physical location, completely unaware that my physical body was asleep in Chicago.) Just after I spotted Craig (college soccer team) and gave him a giant hug too. His response was one of indifference so I became more suspicious. I contained my excitement and sat down on the floor in lotus posture in midst of all the chaos and began to look around the room. Everything was sooooo vivid, we were in a big gymnasium, and as i scanned around the gym. I saw just about every teammate of mine from college and high school soccer teams, as well as my high school basketball and track teams. Everyone was super excited, jumping around and socializing with one another. It seemed that I was the only one that was calmly sitting still. Suddenly my wife appeared with our 14 month old daughter, she placed her on my lap then turned and walked away. As my daughter was crawling all over my lap, I thought to myself....maybe i should introduce her to her daddy’s friends??? Then it hit me like a TON OF BRICKS!! I am in the astral world. Instinctively I attempted to confirm my suspicions, so I stood up, picked up my daughter in my arms and we walked out of the gym while no one in the gym even paid us any attention. I was then transferred back to my physical location which was a hotel room in Chicago asleep in bed with my wife and little girl.

There is nothing strange about that experience. Such experiences are taking place daily in the astral world with no or very little awareness of that on the physical side.
This is because our minds are tied to the physical as the reality and regards everything else imagined or real as being nothing but hogwash.
It is actually the other way around, but nature has got us in a spell and so we are focused down into the physical and have little or no awareness of the subtle astral places.
This might be significant to you if you can increase your psychic perception of these events in the future by meditation practice and by the effort to shift your focus into the subtle side of existence and de-emphasize the physical which is given all importance by human beings.
I have repeatedly asked students to just focus on the subtle side since at the time of death of the physical body, all that will be left open is the psychic but most of the students do not get the point.
People are confident that their religion, philosophy or belief will carry them safely to the other side after death and that things there will take care of themselves. Thus when I ask students to deemphasize the physical they usually ignore the request.
Review your experience and see how difficult it is to focus on the subtle side, and also see how things there operate differently. So when this body dies, you will be going over to that side permanently and then what?
I will let you fill in the answer.
Consider though how strange some relationships are on that side in contrast to what they are or were on this side. All of those funny feelings, neglects and so on, will transpire on the subtle side when you leave this body. So it is in your interest to review the situations now and take steps if you can so that you are not in a disadvantageous position.
