Astrality
Definition
The quality or state of being astral; the cosmic, stellar, or immaterial character of an element, a state of mind, or an artistic work. In the philosophy of culture and literary criticism, the term expresses a superior dimension, detached from the contours of the gross terrestrial world, tending toward the infinity of the celestial vault, absolute purity, and metaphorical spiritualization.
