"The Further" in Insidious

What does screenwriter Leigh convey about "The Further" in his screenplay? Are we supposed to identify "The Further" as an astral world? Or is this dimension the astral plane? In my opinion, Insidious depicted "The Further" to represent the subplanes of the astral plane. What is "The Further" in the Insidious movie?

The Insidious movie generated nearly $55 million in box office ticket sales. You might think $55 million is nothing to gloat about considering that The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 made $138-140 million in its first weekend in release. However, the Insidious film budget only cost the Paranormal Activity producers $1.5 million. We can determine that making 37 times the production budget is a significant profit. Insidious also generated additional box office ticket sales in its worldwide release.

Insidious is unlike most possession movies. Many movies with ghost and demonic possession concepts never reach box office success. What makes Insidious different is the depiction of astral projection, as this metaphysical concept relates to astral traveling in the fourth dimension. The Insidious movie identified the astral worlds and astral planes as "The Further" in the midpoint of the astral horror hit.

The subplanes represent the foundation of the astral plane. The Astral Hell is most known as the astral being prison with evil spirits viewed in society as outcasts such as murderers, rapists, molesters, and other dangerous humans. When Josh astral projects to The Astral Hell, the astral spirits surround him like wolves. They are the astral spirits who seek to possess Dalton. Nonetheless, the astral spirits are too weak to possess Dalton's physical body.

The red-faced demon is the only entity with the power to possess Dalton. He traps Dalton in "The Further" to gain the strength to make his move into the physical world. We can view "The Further' as the extension of The Astral Hell. It is the fourth dimension such as the Avichi. The Avichi conveys that bad people never change once they make the transition into The Astral Hell. Thus, Avichi is also viewed as the mark of Satan. It contains the 666 star we see in devil movies.

Leigh probably experimented with "The Further" to portray the fourth dimension as an evil domain. The psychic medium identified the "The Further" as a place that no astral body belongs. Astral traveling to "The Further" can disconnect an astral body with the physical body.

Nevertheless, the subplanes are not all evil because they can also represent a mode of transformation or transition. The Heroic Plane, The Mystical Plane and The Intellectual Plane are positive subplanes meaningful to the human spirits who reside there. The Insidious movie delves into astral projection to introduce a concept never tapped into prior to this astral horror's box office release in February 2011.

Astral projection is a hot topic on the Internet. There are a few astral projection experts which market their guides, kits and techniques. Leigh probably sensed that astral projection would strike interest. Moviegoers denote Insidious as the astral projection movie. We've watched the OBE in A Nightmare in Elm Street. The Lovely Bones and the Silent Hill movie depicted the astral worlds.

What we haven't heard previously is the term astral projection mentioned as dialogue in a movie. Because the Insidious movie introduced astral projection, moviegoers are curious about astral travel. "The Further" can represent a number of dimensions. The astral worlds in the Silent Hill movie are identical to "The Further" in the Insidious movie.

In my opinion, I feel that "The Further" conveys The Astral Hell of the subplanes. Evildoers remain in The Astral Hell for all eternity to pay for their sins. It is possible an astral body can travel to dangerous dimensions. For the most part, the astral traveler can find their way back to the physical world. The next time you watch Insidious, dissect the movie to analyze whether Elise accurately utilizes the right astral projection technique to induce the OBE. Counting backwards is consistent with mind projection.
