Astral
Sub-Plane 3
As
your vibrations continue to rise, you now find yourself on an even higher
plane. Here is where people are engaged in "useful"
work (to use earthly terminology.) All the work
being done here is of an inventive and constructive nature.
The men and women are perfecting what their interest was while on the earth
life; they are improving their work; and they are filled with the joy of creation.
For
example, an artist is busy creating wondrous masterpieces; musicians are creating
great compositions; an architect is building great structures... Everyone
is filled with the joy of work and ecstatic with their creative imagination.
But their work is NOT play or a form of reward for good behavior for earthly, worldly work. Although these actions play their part in the general working of the Law, the main thing to remember here is that this work on the Astral results in an actual mental advance and progress.
Moreover, in many cases, these works (being done on the Astral) are building the models of great inventive and creative achievements on the Material Plane in future incarnations of these souls.
Interesting, yes?
Therefore,
in these cases, the Astral can be looked upon as the
great pattern shop of the world. When the soul returns/revisits the earth,
its patterns are reproduced in matter. This is why some great performers
of great creations feel their work is but a completion of something they had
previously thought or rediscovered.
Life on the Astral is very earnest and intense (the vibrations are much higher than on the Material Plane.) The soul is always at work on the Astral. In this way real progress is made. Even on earth life we engage in a "living-out" and "out-living" work, ascending higher on the steps of each mistake and failure.
All old ideas, old longings, old ambitions are worked out, discarded, exhausted and left behind on the trail in the Astral. The Astral is where the "burning up" and "burning out" of old mental material takes place in order to make room for the New and Better material in the NEW earth life.
In the School of Life, think of the Astral as a series of school rooms. Each
room has its meaning and purpose. As a whole, the Astral
is one of the great, real workshops and laboratories of the soul. Its place
in the work of spiritual development and evolution is very distinct indeed.
Let's
visit the next higher Sub-Plane.
