(this is only congruent with MY personal experience/practice)
I work with two different forms of astral projection. One where I develope my astral body (BoL) and project in it into the greater astral. Another where I develop an astral context (environment) within my personal "astral field" and operate within that
For me, these are very different astral planes and methods of operating. In one I am pressing out of my "sphere of influence" in a body, in the other I am creating a landscape entirely within my sphere. (sorta 'As above, so below'... and vise-versa) These are very seperate phenomona . . (although I think they do 'bleed' into each other . . . somehow).
I'm not sure where the energy that can be induced in MY astral temple comes from (maybe the above 'bleeding'?) . . . but I know that it can be directed and formed like any other energy (just in larger quantities). For example, I've used it for healing someone. (of at least to assist in the healing process)
No, I haven't found a way to 'make it permenant'. I'm not sure if there is anything truely permenant in an astral environment. I'm sure that if I continued to work with it for a VERY long period with great regularity . . . it would be less transient.
But, in both approaches . . . I start the work as an imaginative process. All is Mind. Thoughts are things. Imagination is the threashold to the astral.
