when getting out of your body,where do you find the astral planes.Robert Bruce tells its an awsome site but is it out side of your house or 5 blocks away.
The difference from the RTZ to astral is not of location, but of state of consciousness. There are various ways to get there, but they all involve crossing symbolic thresholds, like speed, gateways (windows, walls, etc.) and Robert's favorite, flying 'up' and looking back down. They are ways to go to the astral planes/locales, but you can also go straight into them by phasing, if that's what you're good at.
Yup- CFTs got it :-) Since you are focusing yourself to where there is no physical matter, there is no real space (or time, but that's a whole different thread :-P). As long as you find the transition that works to get ya where you wanna go.
