1. In "World of Klipoth" it is said with our protoplasmic lunar body, when we project into the 5th Dimension, it is the inferior part of the 5th Dimension, or Limbo, the antechamber of Hell, that we are in.
I do not remember Samael Aun Weor mentioning this in his books. He always says things like, "get up from bed and go to where you please, visit your dead relatives, talk with your Divine Mother" and so on and so on, "study the secrets of life and death."
Can we do anything really worth while like this if all we are doing is projecting into the inferior part of the Astral World?(those of us without the Solar Body)
2. What is identification and what is an impression? How do I not become attached to the senses of the physical body when that is all I am in contact with all the time?
Should the mind say things like, "Oh, the tongue has this and that favorable/unfavorable sensation, that is what is does....so what, it is transient..." and "My body likes this feeling, but what does it matter, I will surely die..." "I like this song, but it will soon be over..."
It is said people are asleep in the Astral because they do not discern and are identified with matter. What am I doing wrong that I remember dreams well but cannot awaken in them in respect to lack of discernment or failing to transform impressions?
Can I enjoy sensations without attachment? I know sensations keep the ego alive...but how do I know if I am attached "too much" to the point of staying asleep?
Thank you for your help.

1. One does not need solar bodies in order to explore the superior or inferior dimensions. What matters is awakened consciousness. However, the solar astral body helps facilitate deeper experiences in accordance with one's effort.
2. Physical impressions are data about life that enters our five senses. Psychological impressions relate to internal senses that we learn to register with the consciousness.
Identification is to feel one's identity within a given impression. When we sip a cup of coffee, we feel that our identity (of gluttony) depends on that impression, ignoring that such an impression is impermanent, and likewise our sense of "self."
The transformation of impressions is to recognize the inherent emptiness of phenomena in relation to our internal states.
There are levels of awakening. Dianoia, revision of concepts, beliefs, and mistaken identities, develops the more we meditate and learn to discern phenomena in waking life.
If we want to awaken in the astral world, we need sufficient energy, which emerges as we transform psychic impressions of an emotional nature, as well as impressions relating to the mind, thereby helping us access the mental world.
Do not be discouraged, since you are learning about an entirely new universe. Be master of yourself, but be patient in order to possess your soul, since this comes about gradually, through conscious and consistent works.
