Anyone went to the Astral islands yet?

sounds like a funny one to me 

When we see someone who has been there we will then say it exists other than a picture

It exists for no other reason than we are sitting here talking about it.

"When we see someone who has been there?"  First of all, how do you know you are not sitting with someone who has been there?  How can you tell whether they've been there or not?  And if you do get there, will it require someone else already being there that you know to make it real for you?

I just don't understand this logic.

doesn't it need to be 'created' first? as frank says it takes a master to be able to create in the astral proper. but once it is created it is there forever unless someone vandalizes or changes it.

It was created some time ago by the good folks who posted during the "Frank era" here on the Pulse.

However, he never said it takes a "master" to create objects within Focus 3.
He said that you just have to learn how to and then it becomes simple.

A lot of us saw the picture ( is it still here in the forum?  I haven't looked) so looking at it creates it in the astral- you don't have to be a master, because so many people have seen it that it is supported by all of the people that saw it- the thing is to actually project and go there.
Now, if by creating it you mean actively visualizing it until you see the picture in front of you, not so much in your mind's eye, as in a clairvoyant vision, then that would be more tricky, and you could say you have to have at least some 'practice' behind you.  But if you can project, you can intend to go there.

It's still here, just not nearly as visible. Link: http://www.astralpulse.com/astralpulseisland.html

Now it's more visible.

I tried when we first started it and never made it.  I did fly above a lot... A LOT of water in search of it. lol That in itself was awesome.. I was just skimming the water.  Other cool things came out of that experience too, so I'm not complaining.
