I wonder how many of the physical plane trappings remain on the astral. For instance, do souls on the astral ever listen to Christmas music? I wonder if there's an earthly nostalgia at all, perhaps for the souls still incarnating.

A. There can be some nostalgia, although rarely among those who have cycled off. Some may remember experiences that were pleasing, such as favorite Christmas music. It is not unlike how people remember fondly songs from school days. They do not listen so much as recall.

YOU USUALLY ASSOCIATE WITH THE FRAGMENTS OF YOUR OWN ENTITY AND THOSE CLOSE TO YOUR OWN ENTITY. USUALLY THERE IS A PERIOD OF TRANSITION FROM THE PHYSICAL TO THE ASTRAL LIFE, AND THIS VARIES FROM SOUL TO SOUL. THIS SOMETIMES RESULTS IN SOME FRAGMENTS NOT BEING REUNITED WITH THEIR ENTITY UNTIL MUCH LATER. FOR EXAMPLE, NOT ALL OF YOUR FRAGMENTS ARE NOW ON THE PHYSICAL PLANE. MANY WILL NOT BECOME PHYSICAL ENTITIES FOR ANOTHER CENTURY.

So what makes a sequence?

AGREEMENT TO PLAY OUT A CERTAIN FRAGMENT OF LIFE. FOR INSTANCE, WE HAVE TOLD YOU BEFORE THAT NOT ALL PARENTS AND THEIR CHILDREN ARE PLAYING OUT THE PARENT-CHILD MONAD. THIS MONAD RESULTS IN A FAR MORE COMPLEX RELATIONSHIP THAN JUST THE ORDINARY ONE. SIBLINGS ARE TAUGHT BY THIS CULTURE THAT THEY MUST FEEL SOMETHING FOR EACH OTHER, AND ARE ENCOURAGED TO EVEN FALSIFY SUCH CONDITIONS. THIS IS NOT ALWAYS TRUE. RELATIONSHIPS WITHIN THE TYPICAL NUCLEAR FAMILY ARE RARELY HONEST BECAUSE OF THIS.

OF COURSE. YOU HAVE THE OPTION OF NOT PLANNING AT ALL AND MAKING HASTY, LAST MINUTE CHOICES — WHICH IS PRECISELY WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO SOME SOULS WITH WHOM YOU ARE ACQUAINTED. USUALLY TOWARD THE END OF THE YOUNG SOUL CYCLE THE CHOICES BECOME BETTER, AND THE SOUL CHOOSES TO REVIEW THE PAST WITH FAR MORE THOROUGHNESS, AND ATTEMPTS TO STRIVE TOWARD COMPLETION OF THE MONADS. THERE IS ALSO MUCH “JUST PLAIN LIVING” AS THERE IS ON THE PHYSICAL PLANE. JUST AS YOU, AS STUDENTS, DO NOT PURSUE THE [spiritual] PATH TWENTY FOUR HOURS A DAY, SO THE ASTRAL BEINGS DO NOT EITHER. WE HAVE TOLD YOU ALL BEFORE THAT THERE IS LEVITY ON THE ASTRAL PLANE, AND TO BE AWARE OF THIS. THIS SHOULD GIVE YOU SOME INSIGHT INTO SOME OF THE OPTIONS THERE.
MEMORY OF THE ESSENCE DOES NOT DIMINISH WITH THE ILLUSION OF PHYSICAL TIME.

ONE HUNDRED OF YOUR YEARS FAR EXCEEDS THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF THE PHYSICAL BODY, AND, AS WE SAID BEFORE, THE PERSONALITY CANNOT CONCEIVE OF AN ABSTRACT BEYOND ITS FIVE SENSES, AND SO ONE HUNDRED YEARS IS MEANINGLESS ON THIS PLANE.

Someone asked Michael about other agreements he made on the astral plane, besides the two mentioned before.

YOU MAKE ALL SEQUENTIAL AGREEMENTS DURING THE ASTRAL INTERVAL. THIS PERTAINS TO ALL OF THE PHYSICAL LIVES. MOST SEQUENCES HAVE TO DO WITH THE COMPLETION OF MONADS AND ARE AGREED UPON TO FACILITATE THIS COMPLETION IN BASICALLY SHORT PERIODS OF TIME. HOWEVER, THERE ARE SOME SEQUENCES THAT INVOLVE THE ENTIRE DURATION OF THE PHYSICAL LIFE AND REQUIRE THAT THE SEQUENTIAL PARTNERS STAY WITH EACH OTHER OR IN CONTACT THROUGHOUT. USUALLY THESE LATTER AGREEMENTS INVOLVE BEING CLOSE RELATIVES SUCH AS BROTHERS OR SISTERS, PARENTS AND CHILDREN, ET CETERA.

MANY DO NOT REMEMBER AT ALL, ESPECIALLY VERY YOUNG SOULS. BUT REMEMBER, THERE IS NO LIFE SURVIVAL PROGRAMMING GOING ON ON THE ASTRAL PLANE, AND THE ENCUMBRANCES ARE LESS HEAVY. ALSO, THERE IS NOT AS MUCH EMPHASIS PLACED ON SAMENESS. ON THE PHYSICAL PLANE THOSE WHO REMEMBER ARE REGARDED AS WEIRD, AND THIS IS SUPPRESSED IN MOST. ONLY THE BRAVEST SOULS AMONG YOU ARE WILLING TO GO BACK THROUGH THE BARRIERS TO THE MEMORIES [of past lives]. MOST SOULS ON THE PHYSICAL PLANE DO REMEMBER THEIR OTHER EXISTENCES; THERE IS SIMPLY MUCH RESISTANCE TO REFINING THESE MEMORIES. HAVEN’T YOU EVER MET ONE WHO DID NOT NEED TO LEARN, FOR INSTANCE, MATHEMATICS? IT JUST CAME TO THEM. DON’T YOU WONDER WHERE THAT KNOWLEDGE CAME FROM? ONCE A SKILL IS ACQUIRED, IT IS NEVER LOST TO THAT FRAGMENT, NO MATTER HOW MANY TRANSITIONS HE GOES THROUGH. SKILLS MAY BECOME RUSTY, BUT NOT LOST, AND (lack of) SKILLS MUST BE SEPARATED FROM IRRATIONAL FEARS.

IN OTHER WORDS, IF A SOUL WAS NOT TELEPATHIC ON THE PHYSICAL PLANE, HE WILL NOT BE MORE SO AFTER DEATH. ALWAYS THERE IS A PERIOD OF CONFUSION AND DISORIENTATION THAT FOLLOWS THE TRANSITION FROM ONE PLANE TO ANOTHER CREATE LESS OF AN OBSTACLE THAN MOST BY MUCH WORK AT THE END.

]]> https://www.michaelteachings.com/channeling/discussion/74/astral-plane-levels Sun, 19 May 2013 23:07:01 +0000 Astral Plane ubiquitous 74@/channeling/discussions Can you tell us about the astral plane and its levels?

THE FIRST LEVEL OF THE ASTRAL PLANE IS POPULATED BY LIVING FRAGMENTS ADEPT AT ASTRAL TRAVEL, AND THOSE SOULS WHO PENETRATE THIS PLANE ACCIDENTALLY THOUGH DRUGS. THE SECOND LEVEL OF THE ASTRAL PLANE IS INHABITED BY ALL THOSE BETWEEN [physical] BODIES. THE THIRD LEVEL ATTRACTS OLD SOULS WHO ARE TRYING TO BURN FINAL KARMA WITHOUT BEING REBORN. THE MID ASTRAL BODIES ARE PARTIALLY REUNITED ENTITIES. YOU HAVE MANIFESTED A MID ASTRAL ENTITY PREVIOUSLY [Tomas]. THE THREE HIGHER LEVELS ARE PROGRESSIVELY INTEGRATED. ACCESS TO THE HIGH PLANES IS THROUGH THESE LEVELS. EVEN VERY HIGH ADEPTS SUCH AS SOLEAL HAVE FANTASIES CONCERNING THE HIGH PLANES. WE HAVE CONFRONTED HIM ON THE LOW ASTRAL PLANE, AND HAVE BEEN REQUIRED TO DESCEND A STAIRCASE WHICH DOES NOT EXIST EXCEPT IN HIS MIND.

What is meant by the high planes?

BY “HIGH PLANES” WE REFER TO THE CAUSAL AND BEYOND.
