Quote:Does everyone know what non-physical means?
to say the spirit world and afterlife has physical attributes shows the greatest problem with these ideas.
When you are dead, you are not holding a sense of smell, sight, touch, taste, hearing, or thinking.
you do not percieve physical manifestations.
An astral body is a physical manifestation.
Basically, the astral body and dream body is probably the same thing. So what we see in the afterlife, is probably imagination.
I have, however, astral projected by accident many times, and saw other 'starry' beings with my astral vision on... I guess God or Nature put those starry beings on the astral plane to live there. On the astral plane, or higher astral planes, the energy looks starry or sparkles.
As for afterlife/Heaven buildings and houses, perhapes they are completely different to anything we know about today. Centuries ago people thought the earth was flat... than they were proved wrong. It's like in lucid dreams... we aren't doing it psychically, but it's happening anyway non-psychically.
