Pathworking, A definition

Pathworking, what is it? it is a travel through the Inner Astral realms. Where are the Inner Astral Realms? Let me start first with what the Astral Realms are... they are part of a spiritual extension of our universe. This Extension include The Astal Realms, Energy, Spirit(what most people call the soul), Mental(the actual soul). Now for thoroughness' sake I will also define these realms The Astral Realms are the largest, they not only include an essential copy of our universe but MUCH MUCH MORE then just that. Energy is pervasive through all the realms and isn't much different then our physical energy although not always bound by the same rules. Spirit is different parts of the true you relative to themselves, they cannot interesect with each other usually what most call the soul. Mental is the group/one consciousness of everything below. There are other realms but they aren't really important to interactions.

Now that we know the realms What are the Astral realms? Well they are a timeless and are not limited by space concepts especially when energy is brought in with will where your only limitation is your imagination. There are the Outer Astral realms which pre exist outside of you then there are the Inner Astral realms which are your emotions, thoughts, ideas, etc. Symbolism in the Inner Astral Realms is unique to an individual; A rock can be an emotion to one person and to another memories. One person could have a overrun wild Inner Astral Realm and another could be well kept and organized.

Now for Pathworking... Pathworking is to travel the Inner Astral Realms to achieve some goal via meditation or perhaps lucid dreaming often under a certain visualization along the way. During lucid dreaming you make travel through a dream to find hidden meaning in it. During meditation it's often guided by a Guru which can be physical or a spiritual guide(like me). you can also travel through the subconscious theater of the mind using the image that pop in your head as the story. This is very close to conscious day dreaming a good reference for this type is Blue Fluke's ultra culture post on trance states.
