'A normal human Astral body contains approximately four billion, trillion elecrtons. These electrons have a life span of approximately ten billion, trillion of your years. They were created at the moment of creation. Your Astral body contains them and, when you die, nineteen percent rejoin the electrons of the universe until required by Nature to form a new body or a new tree or animal, and the eighty one percent rejoin your Higher- self.' ' ...An Astral body is not quite what you would call a pure spirit. On Earth, there is a belief that the spirit is made of nothing. This is false. The Astral body is composed of billions of electrons, exactly marrying your physical shape. Each of these electrons has a 'memory' and each is capable of retaining as much information as is contained in all the books which fill the shelves of an average town library.'
