The author attempts to build an argument that the astral body of the Solar Logos is all encompassing, covering astral portion of earth, physical planets, and the purely astral planets.
It further says that each astral plane may be regarded as a whole, separate vehicle and maybe considered a part of solar logos as a chakra or an aspect.

Building on these insights, this section tries to explain how these may form the basic premise of astrological science.

In this course you will come across factors affecting after-death life, experience upon awakening on the astral plane, and how we can live a blissful astral life.

  5. Astral Entities: It talks about all kinds of entities present on the astral plane! From ordinary humans and animals, to Devas, Nature Spirits, & artificials, all have existence on the astral plane. Learn about vampires, black magicians and the role of pupils in serving on the astral plane in detail!

  6. Mastery of Emotions: This course greatly emphasizes on the importance of controlling and training the astral body. “The Science of Emotions”, “The Crowd in Peace and War” & “Law of Psychic Phenomena” are the 3 books recommended by Arthur Powell for training and developing the astral body. A summary of each of these books have been covered in the course.
