Were the astral body left to its own resources, feelings of pleasure and pain, and sensations of hunger and thirst, would take place within it, but there would be lacking the consciousness of something lasting in all these feelings. It is not the permanent as such, which is here designated the “ego,” but rather that which experiences this permanent element.
Margaret answered him like a flash: "Ah! she was then near her tomb from which for thousands of years her body had not been moved. She must know that things are different now." "How must she know?" asked Corbeck keenly. "If she has that astral body that Father spoke of, surely she must know!
In this passage we see the intimation that not only with the "quick" or living people is The Christ concerned, but also with the "dead," that is, with those who "passed out" before and after His time and who have passed on to the Astral World, as we have explained in this lesson.
My glare melted into a smile, but not one of my best, though the eyes which called it forth were alluringly beautiful. "Contessa!" I exclaimed. "Is this you, or your astral body?" "Lord Lane!" the lovely lady-of-the-eyes responded. "But no, it is not possible!" Just as I was about to protest that it was not only possible, but certain, I caught sight of the Boy, in the doorway.

As one of the characteristics which reveal this function we mentioned the peculiar capacity of metals to behave as 'solid fluids'. This exceptional place among the mineral substances of the earth, the metals owe to their close association with the extra-terrestrial astral forces of the world.
Evidently conning the names of friends who might be useful in an emergency, Logan's eyes were fixed on the stairway, as if thence inspiration or salvation might come. He had the air of having sent his astral body hastily upstairs to reconnoitre the reading and smoking room, but at that minute Peter Rolls, Jr., appeared on the landing, and Logan and his astral body joined forces again.
"What! with that wonderful car? He told me last night that nothing had ever happened to it yet. He must be miles ahead of us by now." "Then this is his astral body," said Terry. "Clever of him to 'project' one for his car too. Never heard of its being done before."
Here, then, is the sum total: First is revealed to us the grand Astral Man, the Zodiac being the outward idea or form, the Sun and his system the vital functions thereof. The Earth, apart from its functional expression or place, is also an individual. Man, apart from forming a molecule of the planetary womb, by comparison, is also an individual.
