I told him " very beautiful here" he said " are you sure you in the real world? maybe this is dream" then I realised , oh yes it is dream! so I try to pull my finger out in the astral world, but it doesn't work. I mean I can't take my finger out while I am at astral world. Why does this happen? I suppose be able to pull my fingers out.
Well, it seems to me to be a win/win anyway. That you remembered the 'pulling finger' technique in your LD speaks to the reality of ascending to the astral in a consciousness of the experience. But, I have never been too aware of my physical body in an LD. It would never occur to me to even touch 'myself' as I'm not touchable in a physical sort of sensation. Just never thought of it. I'm not sure I'm getting this idea over, but in the astral I am astral and there is no such a physical thing I might think of.
In the Castaneda/Don Juan books, the student is asked only to SEE his hands; and I think there us merit and some wisdom to this though I would rather not try to explain it.
Matter is only mind in an opaque condition; and all beauty is but a symbol of spirit.
