The answer to your second question about the 'where' has been the holy grail of virtually every quest and occult ritual ever partaken. It is the cup of Christ as well as the cauldron used in Druid ceremony. It is the well that is created that opens the pathway between the worlds.
In my opinion this is the Sacred Mandorle that I have spoken to you about. It is that sacred space that is created between your field of consciousness, or sphere, and the much larger field of consciousness of the One. It is in that divine connection that the gate is opened and the powers shared. And it can only be opened by realization that we are the One Consciousness, or as Ra would call it, the Intelligent Infinity.
Now to answer your first question about astral projection is a little more diffcult. Depending on the intuitive ability of an individual, they may experience such travel without having to understand their true identity as the One. astral travel is more of an out of body experience that cam be triggered by various stimuli and suppression of the physical reality. If one can be more spiritual than physical some can actually travel within their field of consciousness leaving the body behind. This is similar to what Ra spoke of as traveling by thought, though not exactly identical.

Since this is not the same as when they refer to the "ray" bodies.
I would say that when that group speaks of ray bodies they are speaking of particular vibrations and frequencies that we emit. Where as when we speak of spirit we are speaking of our field of consciousness, which is also a vibration, but it is also that one particular ray that contains the shared information of the All that both connects us to the One and also separates us from the One. It is the root of our fragmentism that makes us the polarity of the source as is the Goddess. It is our female aspect to the male aspect of the Source. It is the spiralling vortex via which we spawned from the Source, and how we must also return to it. The fragmented consciousness of the One Consciousness that experiences existence from our eye.
