Conversations About the Astral Plane
A good friend died suddenly while on vacation, which came as a shock. He was my first friend in my new profession, helping me immeasurably as I started my practice. So I kept busy trying to repay his kindness by helping his wife as much as I could.
After several days things settled down. At dinner one evening, I was suddenly struck with just how much I was going to miss Dan. We had talked often, gotten together for lunch every week and now, I realized, those times were gone. I started to cry.
My wife came around the table to give me a hug and some comfort. During all this, I was acutely aware that my four-year-old son, quietly eating and seeming to ignore us, was very much aware of what was going on. Knowing I needed to address the cause of my tears with him, I asked if he knew why I had been crying. He nodded. “Because Dr. Dan died.”
“Right,” I said. “But he didn’t really die, did he?”
“No, he didn’t.”
“Where did Dr. Dan go?” I asked, welcoming this teaching opportunity with my son.
“To the Astral Plane,” was his answer. (In the Lemurian Philosophy the Astral Plane corresponds to heaven.)
“Right. Good job!” My heart swelled with pride and gratitude as a myriad of thoughts flashed through my mind. How wonderful it was to be teaching universal principles to him at such an early age. How the truth of reincarnation would simply be part of his consciousness; how he’d grow up with an understanding of truth from the beginning of his childhood. He was a new Lemurian in the making!
My reflections were suddenly interrupted as he brought me back to reality. I could almost see his little mind churning as he asked the question he must have wondered about ever since we began teaching him about death and reincarnation:
“Dad. Who’s FLYING the Astral Plane?”

My father-in-law died suddenly while visiting us. In fact our son was the one who found him. It was an emotional time that was made so much better by my understanding derived from the Philosophy. I was able to help my children understand what had happened and how Grandpa had moved on to another life. Their acceptance and comfort was the result of my family’s faith and trust in what the Lemurian Philosophy teaches.
Not sure who was flying the Astral Plane, but could it have been the same pilot as when Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus were on their Flight to Egypt?
Some time ago my daughter, who studied the Lemurian Teens Lesson together with her brother, was wrongly accused of some misconduct by her friend and she was highly agitated. Surprisingly, she had a wonderful revelation that though she did not actually commit the offense, she was paying off the debt she incurred by consciously laying false accusation against someone in the past. I was greatly relieved to discover that my daughter had known at that stage that there is always a corresponding effect on any cause set in motion as taught in the Philosophy. What good knowledge for a growing child!
Such revelations are a true wonderment. I have had three such revelations in the seven or so years since taking up the philosophy, one of which spanned over 50 years between action and consequence. I still think about them today and wonder at the Law of Correspondence, and the good that may have come as a result. Good for her, and you as well.
Oh how I laughed at this story! Reminds me of the time my husband was in a basketball pool. He spoke about the activities of the pool for the whole season. He ended up winning and the news brought much excitement to our household. Upon learning it was a monetary reward however, my young son moaned “You mean you didn’t win a swimming pool?”
On a more serious note though is my gratitude for the Lemurian Youth Lessons which I had the opportunity to utilize in the upbringing of my two children who are now young adults. Having something concrete to work with was a true blessing to us all. I feel the content helped them understand that their destiny is very much in their control. In emphasizing Christ’s teachings, the lessons also helped nourish their soul through laying a foundation focused on goodness and kindness. What a meaningful gift to them and also to society!
I was watching the movie “The Little Prince”, based on a book by Antoine de Saint Exupery, on Netflix last night. One line stuck in my head for some reason: “All grown-ups were once children–although few of them remember it.” Kids have a way of getting right to the heart of the matter without pretense!
Hahaha! 🙂
