Ships on Astral Planes

There are ships on the astral planes. There are automobiles as well. These however are engine-less, noiseless conveyances. I became aware of myself on an astral plane, where I need to go from one location to another on that astral land.

Then seeing an astral river and some boats, I got the idea to be transported by a ship. There were three men on a moving schooner. I thought of taking the trip with them down the river.

Immediately their ship moved near the shore, where I jumped into it. After a short while they reached the end of the river. I disembarked and begin to move on land. At that time one of the crewmen appeared beside me and requested that I follow him into a shabby house, which was the residence of his father.

No one said a word because whatever was thought of was immediately understood by the person to whom the thought was projected. Speech was unnecessarily due to the clarity of thought projection.

As his father approached me, he demanded to be paid in US currency. He said nothing about it aurally but his thoughts were projected accurately. I reached into my pocket where I pulled out a US dollar bill and a US one-hundred bill.

At this point there was some perplexity because the man wanted the one hundred bill but he knew that I owed him much less money but I owed more than the one dollar bill. I hesitated to give him either bill because he projected a thought which meant that he could provide no change for the one hundred bill.

At this time the whole scene faded away with me fading from his vision and his situation fading from my perception. This happens in the astral existence when something cannot be resolved for one reason or the other.

When I travelled on the boat, I noticed that the water was calm. There was not a single wave in it, no turbulence, not even the slightest. As far as money is concerned, it cannot be used for anything in the astral existence. But if a person was attached to money in his previous physical body, he will carry that attachment over into the hereafter. Then he will try to use money because he carried the concept of it as a reference for services received or rendered.

This is similar to when people play Monopoly game. The money used for that cannot be spent for anything, and yet, in the game it seems to have value, and people express themselves during the game as being rich or being poor according to the rules of the game and the assigned values of the properties which are bought and traded.
