“The sphere ... which is located beyond our physical world is called the earth zone. It is also known as the zone girdling the earth. This zone has varying degrees of density, the so-called sub-planes, into which human beings enter after they leave their physical bodies. This is the astral world that individuals enter into with their astral bodies after their physical death.” WorldHumansBodyEarthIndividualHuman BeingsKnownMagicDegreesPlanesZoneMysticismSpheresPhysical BodyDensity Author:Franz Bardon

“The activities and effects of the Fire and Air elements in the astral sphere call forth the astral-electric fluid, and the activities and effects of the Water and Earth elements call forth the astral-magnetic fluid. The spirit-beings use these fluids to create the effects or rather the causes in our physical world. The Akasha Principle of the astral sphere maintains the harmonious equilibrium of the elements in the entire astral sphere.” WorldUseEarthSpiritCausesWaterPrinciplesFireMagicAirEffectsActivityElementsMysticismSpheresElectricFluidHarmoniousEquilibriumMagnetic Author:Franz Bardon
“In reality, good and evil do not exist, because Divine Providence created nothing that is bad and disharmonious; this is only a human concept. From the hermetic point of view, one type of being has to bring forth positive influences, whereas another type has to bring forth negative influences. In an astral respect these beings are the tools of the effects on our physical world. They are also the cause of all effects in the astral body of every human being, whether they are initiated or not.” WorldHumansBodyRealityEvilCausesHuman BeingsViewsMagicInfluenceEffectsDivineTypeConceptsNegativeToolsPoint Of ViewGood And EvilMysticismProvidenceDivine ProvidenceNegative InfluencePositive Influence Author:Franz Bardon
“True magic therefore is the high knowledge of the more subtle powers that have not yet been acknowledged by science up to this date because the methods of scrutiny that have been applied so far do not suffice for their grasping, understanding and utilization, although the laws of magic are analogous to all official sciences of the world.” WorldHas BeensLawUnderstandingKnowledgeMagicMethodOfficialsSubtleScrutinyGraspingUtilization Author:Franz Bardon
