>what is the actual difference between 'physical reality' and 'astral reality'?
The elements. Go outside naked and feel the wind on your skin make a campfire and burn your hand let your whole body soak in the rain and don't try to run from the rain into a shelter feel it. Be underwater and feel the water on your body and notice the moments you almost suffocate because you are out of breath. Try to feel the last moments when it is still comfortable and only emerge when your flight response tells you to hurry out you will drown. The reason why I am saying these "basic" examples because once these things are "felt" on our skin an automatic reflex will trigger in your brain and you will just flee into a "safety zone". Because of that most experiences are just "meager concepts" in the brain and not the "real thing". And because of that you might not able to feel things as "real" as they are. This is the problem with senses and with qualia. On the astral these elements also exist but they are "not the same". The flame made from firewood made from oil or gas or electric fire is also not the same but they are all flames so you can categorize them as such but once the quality of the flame is important for a process the differences count. So as long the differences are not important they will not register their "true depth".
>and that's it?
If I had to put into words what is the "astral" I have no idea where would I even start. There are higher and lower astral realms and some of them are totally not connected at all which means they are "not on the same astral" at all. As I move forward I have to review a bunch of concepts that were a sort of "solved agreed upon concepts" axiom tier definitions in spiritual then I have to look at the author who came up with that concept because I realize I don't see the same thing at all and not always because my lack of ability but because it is more complicated than that short definition via we learned it. I realized how I can scan the "abilities" of the authors so I can get "close" to the "Image" they had while writing their teachings but that skill just reminds me that I should hone my own innate abilities because every ability has an internal "wiring" and if I detach from my own wiring too much for the sole purpose of imitating others "I lose my touch" of sorts.
I somewhat looked into you and your problem is your "concepts". You need to understand how they limit you because you are "tensing"/stressing too much upon them. While your conceptual understanding is very proper it actually limits the flow your mind comprehends things. Might elaborate on this later because now I am kinda bad at reading people. Realized a bunch of new abilities and I need to get used to them
>I'm a bit jealous of people who have hallucinations
Don't. Sometimes they are as annoying as leg cramps while swimming. Not all of them are the cool and nice prophetic ones but the paranoid schizo retardations. I blame the shitty energies of industrial society for that. Luckily they are also can be handled. For me it is like opening a "tap" and they come through otherwise they are not allowed to bother me.
>if you could just see those events plainly
Yes and also no...
If you have no control over it then you are fucked. Some people get overwhelmed easily and have no way handling it. You have to understand how you can open and close that "tap" of otherworldly information or you might be in a (not that) fun ride. It is like erections in puberty tbh. They are that easy to control imho. And for some people it is very hard to control for some reason.
>putting the basis of efficacy of astral dynamism on its physical reflection which may itself be causing problems, decreasing faith in spirit actions and considering them unreal if not evinced through matter etc.
You see it well and this is why I have a hard time figuring out what advice I should give you. Your mental framework is good and because of that it's harder to find what is not "clicking" for you.
