a
second body, per some forms of philosophical or
religious thought, said to belong to each
individual, formed of a substance which is above or beyond
perception by the senses and which pervades all
space. Per these beliefs, the astral
body accompanies the
individual through
life, is able to
leave the
human body at will, and survives the
individual after
death.
Astral bodies are actually just somebody's
delusion. They are usually
mock-ups which the
mystic then tries to believe real. He sees the astral
body as something else and then seeks to inhabit it in the most common practices of "
astral walking." See also mocking up in this glossary.
