The difference between a person who functions on the mental plane and one who functions on the astral plane is like the difference between a telescope and binoculars. The one who is on the mental plane can control his senses, but the one who is on the astral plane is controlled by his senses and he cannot turn them off once they start to operate.
When one develops his mental senses, he can also control his astral senses, if they were developed under the supervision of a highly developed mind.
Sometimes people come and say, "I am continuously hearing people talking, day and night. What can I do to stop it?" They have no control over what they are hearing. The medical profession puts chemicals into their bodies and makes the talking stop. But there is a better method: Create conditions in which the person faces problems and tries to solve them, or he faces questions and tries to answer them. Urge him to study science, chemistry, physics, arithmetic, biology, etc., to polarize his consciousness on the mental plane. Once his consciousness shifts from the astral to mental plane, his astral problems will begin to vanish. Those who have astral problems must not meditate and follow abstract teachings, but rather study science and engage in physical labor. Once they shift their consciousness to the mental plane, they will develop control upon the astral senses.
