The Astral Body and Other Astral Phenomena - Arthur E. Powell In print since 1927, this study of our subtle body is based on the works of Theosophical authors and noted clairvoyants, including H. P. Blavatsky, C. W. Leadbeater, and Annie Besant, and is one of a series of 5 books dealing with the bodies of Man and his role in the Scheme of Evolution. The astral body is the vehicle of feelings and emotions seen by clairvoyants as an aura of flashing colors. The astral body is the theoretical subtle or spiritual body, a third option between the eternal soul and the body (according to Platonic theory) though some believe that the astral body and the soul are equivalent. The astral body maintains your personality separate from your physical body, the mind and emotions, separate from the physical brain. Some refer to this body as the etheric body. The word `astral` means `of the stars`. The astral body is often related to the aura. Some believe that the aura surrounding everything is their astral body, though there are many that disagree with this. The astral body is often reported as appearing identical to the physical body with the aura intact and more readily visible. Functionally, the astral body is the part of you that travels during an out of body experience that are not near death experiences, such as astral projection. Many believe it is also the `dream self`, that part of you that moves around in dream space, though there are many that prefer a more solid division between dreams and astral activity.
