What's the point of creating astral temple if you are not even aware of it? What you are describing is just imagining it and that's it. There's no way of knowing if it actually works or it's even real.
Did you read the article on the Joy of Satan, or what I have told you?
What part are you confused about exactly?
The thing which matters most is the intention. After power grows, intention solidifies.
As for the purpose of the astral temple, it is your own space, the space which belongs to you.
The human being has 5 bodies, one of these bodies governs the mental self/consciousness. The astral temple is created within the mind, or the mental self, and after one gains power it can manifest beyond that.
The mental world, or layer of consciousness is very deep, not something insignificant. It is a world of its own, which has its external and internal part.
Visualization is the act of directing your consciousness, which in conjunction with power brings forth manifestation.
One may call this imagination, which it in fact is, however it is not aimless day dreaming, rather it is active utilization of your mind to create a clear projection.
In my astral temple, I can see the creases on the stones, the countless individual blades of grass and the veins in the leaves of the trees which I have placed there.
I can feel the textures of the different materials on my fingers as I walk around and reach my hands to touch the decorated stone pillars near the entrance of my temple.
I feel the breeze upon my skin, hear the leaves rustle in the wind and see the sun shine bright through the sky lights in my pagoda.
Therein the inner sanctum of the temple of my creation, I have created statues of all the Gods I personally have worked with, life sized and made in their image, every inch carefully shaped by hand.
I went through that process of creation as a new SS, however that place has become a part of me and I can enter there any time, it doesn't change without my will nor does my mind forget.
The astral temple is at first an exercise of the mind, a way to focus your intention, at the same time it becomes your inner temple, the first part of your inner world created by yourself.
When you work on yourself, you will realize the meaning of inner world and it's significance.
Hail Satan!
