I've just begun reading about NEW in Robert's Astral Dynamics book, and noticed that has as also authored another on-line, larger work specifically on this subject.  

Has anyone read both?  What is the relationship between the "Astral Dynamics" version and the larger NEW document?  I'm curious if the "Astral Dynamics" version is anything more than just an abreviated explanation of NEW (was the concept refined in this book).  Similarly, do people think the version contained in the book is "enough" on the subject, or do you recommend focusing on the larger document?

Thanks in advance!

I've just started reading "Astral Dynamics" and am a bit confused on some of the concepts.  The main thing that is confusing me is the idea of the "physical/etheric body."  My initial understanding is that there is our physical body, and from that comes an "etheric body."  However, as the book continues, there seems to be a combination of the two called the "physical/etheric body."  Are these two ideas combined because they share a synchronized "mind"?  Or is the physical mind having an independent experience to that of the etheric mind?  

Also the "Mind Split" illustration on Page 70 states that the Dream Mind is a reflected copy, but the Etheric mind is the master copy.  Isn't the dream mind part of the physical body, and if so, wouldn't that be the master copy?

Thanks in advance!
