It’s quite hard to get to the Astral Plane, or so I’ve heard, but my Tibetan friends tell me it’s lovely once you’re in. There are a great many small variations on the general theme, most of which I have accidentaly wandered into, but I would like to get to the real deal for once.

For example, the last time I tried I had been meditating for some two hundred and seventy hours and twelve minutes, and I decided I was tired of sitting there in the middle of deep space and wanted to get up and move around. Unfortunately I stood up too quickly, and found myself not in the Astral Plane but on my bedroom floor. Crushing disappointment! All in all, it seems that each time I attempt to reach the Astral Plane I either overshoot, undershoot, or do not shoot at all.

I am determined to remedy this situation by whatever means necessary.
