Text[edit]

Divine Biomes

When we first begin to ask ourselves about the grand mysteries of the astral planes, we recognize with immediacy that we are non longer speaking about the physical world-although to the denizens of these biomes, they are as natural as the great stand of trees that lies in the heart of the forest are to us.

The key distinction between the biomes of the astral world and those of our own mundane on can ofttimes be obscure and flummox even the most logical of minds. We can compare it to the act of seeing a world behind the one we know, as though it is hiding from those who seek to ascend to new heights.

To truly understand the subject at hand, we must recognize our place in the great cosmic order first. If we hope to find our place in the celestial order, we must begin at the bottom-like the firm foundation of a great tower, stretching skyward.

Our next goal, then, should be to see balance so that as we expand our mind and our wisdom to accept more of the world beyond our own, we always have a place to center ourselves physically and mentally. We should plant ourselves in the place from which one can see both perspectives equally.

We will also need to attain an investiture of strength to stand firm against the many forces which would align against such efforts, looking to those who have led the way to guide our steps. There are those who have become paragons of their kind, and from them we learn how to be resolute.

Finally, as it is ultimately knowledge that we seek, we must immerse ourselves in the guiding words of those who hve come before us. The wit and wisdrom of our forebears travel through time from the past-captured in ink and on the page-to our present moment.
