Isis-Osiris
“THE astral life of the earth is young and strong between Christmas and Easter. Those who form their wishes now will have added strength to fulfil them consistently.” (H. P. Blavatsky, Collected Writings)
Further, occult metaphysics teaches the astral light, an invisible substance or matrix, supports all forms and beings in the physical and the invisible worlds.
This active image-field is the mystical progeny of “the One homogeneous divine Substance-Principle, the one radical cause,” (The Secret Doctrine 1:273), sometimes related to “Akasa” in Sanskrit.
One outcome of the effects of the universal astral or akasic substratum we swim in, as psi researcher Dean Radin notes in his book Entangled Minds, is that “we occasionally have numinous feelings of connectedness with loved ones at a distance.”
“The idea of the universe as an interconnected whole is not new,” Radin says, “for millennia it’s been one of the core assumptions of Eastern philosophies. What is new is that Western science is slowly beginning to realize that some elements of that ancient lore might be correct.”
The spiritual substance supporting universal inter-connectivity is called Ākāśa in Sanskrit, a word meaning “aether” (in both its elemental and metaphysical sense.) The Ākāśa, with its alter-ego the Astral Light, are the raison d’etre of ‘out-of-body’ experiences, and support the entire spectrum from the spiritual to mundane psychic experiences (PSI).
The Astral Light is the primeval storehouse and reflector of all the thoughts, ideas, feelings and acts uploaded from the Earthly doings of self-conscious humanity.

The Matrix
The ongoing scientific experiment the Global Consciousnesses Project demonstrates that the simultaneous force of many minds focused on one event, produce measurable effects in scientific instruments — facilitated, Theosophists believe, by this same ubiquitous, universal mediating astral substance.
