We perceive from the physical which is probably why we see it as the primary reality, and the Astral and such are all "other" things that extend from the physical.
Take it as an opinion, but I feel it resonate with me that the original pure Consciousness by focusing on other than itself creates matter (secondary reality). Hence in the Astral, mind > Matter. Now if a great number of people use Thoughts to state (create) 'I can't do this...' 'I can't do that', matter solidifies.
It is creation of Mind that "I can't", hence we can not walk through walls or fly into the stars because the collective human race built this 'v. low sub-plane of the Astral' if you like. Obviously this is a simplistic model.

I've done a lot of reading and introspection before coming to the conclusion so I apologize for making the ideas confusing. These are not conventional ideas.
On the note of the Government being democratic though, I think if we turn on the TV we can come to question that now just from listening to the stuff that has been happening right in front of us.
