The '''region of wishes''' is the third level of the [[astral world]]. Whatever conscious or subconscious wishes are active as striving [[desire]]s in the human [[astral body]] is substantially taken from this region of the [[soul world]]. Of the basic forces of the astral world, [[sympathy]] already outweighs the [[antipathy]] forces that resist it.

When the human [[soul]] passes through this region of the soul world in the [[life after death]] during the [[purification]] time in the [[Kamaloka]], it must discard all wishes directed towards earthly existence. Since the three uppermost regions of the [[physical-etheric world]] coincide with the lowest three regions of the astral world {{GZ||101|223}}, the region of wishes is the other side of the [[life ether]].
