Conscious Astral Travel allows you to live your life well, to learn about what you should be doing, how well you are doing and what you still need to learn. According to Dr Rampa there are many advantages to conscious Astral Travel and it is one of the safest, most convenient and cheapest forms of travel. Firstly you can learn anything you want at the speed of thought. Secondly you can travel almost anywhere. Third it doesnt cost anything and you dont need to pack. Four you can learn how well you are doing. The disadvantages of Astral Travel are that you cannot bring anything back and you cannot perform it if you are suffering from heart problems, constipation, have the wrong intentions or fear leaving the body consciously.
Once you are outside of the body you can accept that you are still alive and that there is consciousness outside of the body. The more you travel in the Astral Planes the more you can readily accept that there are people there who are there to assist you - that there is a continuation of life.
Another thing that you learn from conscious Astral Travel is that it doesnt matter whether you are a Jew, a Muslim, a Christian, a Buddhist or an Athiest, you can astral travel and when you die you will return to the astral world regardless of your religious affiliations or not. It also matters if you are a kind and loving person, a gentle and considerate person and a warm person with some form of spiritual discipline or belief.
Also it doesnt matter whether you are a human, cat, dog, rat, bird or insect, it doesnt matter what race you are, how much or how little you own, or your social position, but it does matter whether you can get along with others, how you affect others and whether you take full responsibility for your own actions.
