bob Fickes ~ Travel 2: Astral Body and Etheric Body


Traveling outside our physical body is not a common experience but it does happen. When it happens, the person is often confused why they are not inside their physical body and worry about how to come back. This experience usually happens when we are under stress. We call this Astral Traveling.
Our consciousness has many levels that we don’t normally notice. Just inside our physical body is another body called the Astral body. The Astral body is the body of our soul. This is the body we experience in our dream. It moves through our karma in the dream and helps us to clear.

If we travel with our astral body, it is not healthy. There are two dangers. First while we are gone another soul can enter our body. This makes it difficult for us to come back. The second is that the astral body is connected to the physical body by a silver cord of light. If this breaks while we are travelling, then we lose our connection to the physical body. Because of these reasons, I do not recommend astral traveling. With meditation we strengthen our connection to the physical body and strengthen the soul body so it becomes more balanced. People who meditate rarely astral travel, their consciousness naturally choses the safer form of etheric travel.
Just beyond the astral body is the etheric body. The etheric body is so similar to the astral body that some people can’t tell the difference. The difference is important. The etheric body is a body of light. It has no karma. It is a perfect display of our divine nature and always has the appearance that our physical body had at the age of twenty-five. The etheric body is composed of the light of our true consciousness without any karma. The more we meditate, the more our etheric body becomes tangible. We can travel with this etheric body more easily and freely. There is no danger.
Traveling with the etheric body feels more like a projection of our consciousness. Our consciousness travels and explores without ever leaving the physical body. Etheric travelling is done on a wave of consciousness. It is a beam of light through the darkness and can visit any location in time and space without actually going there. The telescope of our consciousness can see long distances without ever leaving home.
