Hi again! =)

More intriguing questions! My feeling right now, is that 
speculation about astral and mental realms is really beside 
the point before one really -knows- them. 

Waste of effort, ppft =)). Spiritual practices should work! 
Anything that works is not a waste of effort, heck it could 
even be something as trivial as a public speaking course. 

Because... for every little things a person does that work, 
the more fit he/she becomes to personally evaluate what that 
final "ultimately" really is, if it is. =) Spiritual "ability" 
is directly related to ones capacity for knowledge.

Best regards,
