To quote Franz Bardon, Initiation Into Hermetics "The astral plane has different kinds of inhabitants. ... the astral plane is inhabited by many other beings, of which I will mention only a few species. There are, for example, the so-called elementaries, beings with only one or a few attributes which are dependent upon which element-vibrations are dominant. They maintain themselves
from the same kind of vibrations that are peculiar to human beings and which people j
send out into the astral plane.
Among them are those who have already reached a certaindegree of intelligence. Certain magicians can make use of these lower forces in order toindulge in their selfish intentions. There is also another kind of being, the so-called larvae, which are called into existence through the astral matrix, intentionally or unintentionally, by intensive emotional thinking.
They are not actual beings, but merely forms which keep themselves alive from the passions of the animalistic world on the lowest level of the astral plane. Their instinct for self-preservation takes them into the sphere of those human beings whose passions attract them. They attempt to awaken and call forth directly or indirectly the passions which lie dormant in a human being. Should these forms be successful in enticing the individual to a passion which is to their liking, then they nourish, maintain and strengthen themselves from the emanation which this passion brings forth from this person. One who is laden with many passions brings with him a host of such larvae into the lowest sphere of his astral plane and a big struggle ensues
with these larvae."
Kristina thinks she is "in love" but in reality - she is feeding the Astral Larvae.
This is a really sophisticated piece. It doesn't come together until I read the last line "feeding the Astral Larvae" . There is also many "things" I can see in the piece that aren't readily apparent at a first glance.
Reminds me a bit of the concept or ouroboros, too - the snake eating its own tail.
Thank you so much @holoz0r - I really appreciate your looking - for this Auragraph I was simply trying to get an answer for myself about what is going on with one of my clients - so I didn't write out the whole Auragraph - it just reminded me so much of how humanity has no idea about the purpose of the Astral Layer.
I am ignorant of it, I must admit. I looked at this as a piece of standalone Art.
All I can say is that the tiny physical scale of this piece betrayed the impact you have driven home with the tangled representation of forms.
again - thank you so much for your compliments - they are much appreciated. Blessings!
