Congratulations. Its not uncommon for people to Astral Project on reflex when they first read about it. Before you get into the Semantics, semiotics and proxemics of AP (oh yes, they are big words

As for your question...you can create thought forms in the first couple of levels but its hard to keep them solid and as you rise through the levels they become decidedly more....solid, in a non-solid way.
