I have been constructing an "astral god body" to move into eventually. I think it's going pretty good. I started just breathing through it, after that I created a link so that it draws off of my memories. Otherwise whenever I moved my awareness into it I forgot what I was doing. After 3-4 days of working on it I was able to get it to maintain a coherent train of thought.

It's a lot easier to perform almost all workings while inhabiting this body. Also my dreams have been gaining mythic structure since starting, whereas before they were mostly just mundane everyday situations. Hopefully once the body is developed far enough I'll automatically move into it when this human body loses consciousness. Once that occurs regularly I think I'll be able to shift my 'base of operations' into it permanently.
