sewhere. apart from the interest attaching to the description of his travels, the careful manner in which abraham has made note of the various persons he had met professing to be in the possession of magical powers, what they really could do and could not do, and the reasons of the success or failure of their experiments, has a particular value of its own. the idea of the employment of a child as clairvoyant in the invocation of the guardian angel is not unusual; for example, in the mendal, a style of oriental divination familiar to all readers of wilkie collins novel, the moonstone, ink introduction x is poured into the palm of a childs hand, who, after certain mystical words being recited by the operator, beholds visions clairvoyantly therein. the celebrated evocation at which the great

a highly skilled man before one can trust one's vision. a great many people think that they are extremely good at the business, when in fact they have only made some occasional shrewd guesses (which they naturally remember) in the course of hundreds of forgotten failures. the only way to test clairvoyance is to keep a careful record of every experiment made. for example, frater o. m. once gave a clairvoyant a waistcoat to psychometrize. he made 56 statements about the owner of the waistcoat; of these 4 were notably right; 17, though correct, were of that class of statement which is true of almost everybody. the remainder were wrong. it was concluded from this that he showed no evidence of any special power. in fact, his bodily eyes- if he could discern tailoring- would have served him bet

ment. to do this, as before stated, the subject will be divided into the following divisions: 1. the nature of the centres. 2. the centres and the rays. 3. the centres and kundalini. 4. the centres and the senses. 5. the centres and initiation. as can be seen from the above tabulation, the subject is not only vast but abstruse. this is principally owing to the fact that until the race is normally clairvoyant, it is not in a position to verify what is said, and has to accept the statements of those who profess to know. later when man can see and prove for himself, it will be possible to check up these statements; the time is not yet, except for the few. 1. the nature of the centres. let us take the first point: i wish to enumerate the centres to be dealt with in this treatise, keeping the e

entually blends and merges with the fire of mind, and later with the fire of spirit, producing thus consummation. we must disabuse our minds of the idea that these centres are physical things. they are whirlpools of force that swirl etheric, astral and mental matter into activity of some kind. because the action is rotary, the result produced in matter is a circular effect that can be seen by the clairvoyant as fiery wheels situated: 1. in the region of the spine, the lowest part. 2. between the ribs, just below the diaphragm. 3. in the region of the left breast. 4. in the centre of the throat. 5. just above the top of the head. i would like to describe these centres in greater detail, dealing with them as seen in etheric matter, and basing what i say upon a similar statement by mr. c. w

iods show different triangular radiances. we must not infer from this that when the fire is centred in one triangle it is not demonstrating in others. once the fire has free passage along any triangle it flames continuously, but always there is one triangle more radiant and luminous than the others, and it is from these glowing triangles of light, issuing from wheels and vortices of fire that the clairvoyant and the teachers of the race can appraise a man's position in the scheme of things, and judge of his attainment. at the culmination of life experience, and when man has reached his goal, each triangle is a radiant path of fire, and each centre a wheel of living fiery force rotating at terrific speed; the centre at this stage not only rotates in a specific direction, but literally turns

th to the statement that the sons of mind are flames. d. these centres reach this condition of perfection as the spirit or will aspect takes ever fuller control. the unifying triangles are produced by the action of the fire of mind, while the fire of matter holds the form together in ordered sequence. so the interdependence of matter, mind and spirit can be seen and demonstrates to the eye of the clairvoyant as the co-ordination of the three fires. e. in the heavenly man and his body, a chain of globes87(76) likewise can be seen and we need here to remember very carefully that the seven chains of a scheme are the expression of a planetary logos. the heavenly men are expressing themselves through a scheme of seven chains and the emphasis has been laid unduly, perhaps, upon the dense physica

ire nature of the logos going out after the not-self, producing the cosmic marriage; it is the logoic demonstration of the sex appeal, his search for his polar opposite, and their mystic union. this process is repeated by the microcosm following the line of his being, and this brings him likewise into incarnation, or into mystic union with form. b. the atomic triangle. the causal sheath is to the clairvoyant therefore a sphere of vibrant living substance; within it can be seen three fiery points. at the heart of the sphere is a central blaze of- 304- a treatise on cosmic fire copyright 1998 lucis trust light, emitting rays; these rays are given as seven in number, and play upon these points or circles (analogous to the electrons in the atoms of science) and at this stage produce most effec

..matter. it will, therefore, be apparent that just as in man these centres are related to the threefold spiritual man in his total development, so the three types of centres microcosmic or macrocosmic come gradually more and more under the vitalising power of one of the three aspects of the logos. these centres are recognised also as focal points of active force, manifesting to the vision of the clairvoyant as fiery wheels or the flaming petals of a lotus. b. the causal body. monadic heart centre. in studying the egoic body it should be remembered that the causal body is the correspondence in the monadic manifestation to the heart centre. it is a flaming wheel of fire within the monadic auric egg, which embraces the five planes of monadic manifestation; it is also seen as the twelve-petal

o the service of humanity with no thought of return nor any desire for reward for the immense sacrifice involved. 3. the petal of sacrifice for the mental plane: demonstrates as the predominant bias of the soul as seen in a series of many lives spent by the initiate prior to his final emancipation. he becomes in his sphere the "great sacrifice" this stage can be seen objectively to the eye of the clairvoyant as dual in effect: a. the mental unit becomes a radiant point of light; its four spirillae transmit force with intense rapidity. b. the three higher petals unfold, and the nine-petalled lotus is seen perfected. the causal body is then (expressed in terms of fire) a blazing centre of heat, radiating to its group- 321- a treatise on cosmic fire copyright 1998 lucis trust warmth and vital

y in the study of the development of the quality of the thought-form will its inherent purpose be revealed; only as its emanative processes are comprehended will the nature of its mission become recognisable. this is true fundamentally of all forms. where the relatively unimportant forms such as those constructed by man at this time are concerned, this can easily be discovered, and to the trained clairvoyant each form reveals: by its colour, by its vibration, by its direction, by its keynote, the nature of the inner life, the quality of its vibration and the nature of its goal. in the summation of all these points will the purpose reveal itself. the factor of karma. every thought-form comes under the law of karma through the effect it produces. at this stage in the history of the system th

sun. the nine petals are fully unfolded, forming a gracious setting for the central jewel, and their orange hue is now of a gorgeous translucence, shot with- 451- a treatise on cosmic fire copyright 1998 lucis trust many colours, that of the egoic ray predominating. the triangle at the base is now quickened and scintillating, and the three points are small blazing fires, showing to the eye of the clairvoyant as sevenfold whorls of light, circulating their light from point to point of a rapidly moving triangle. by the time the fourth initiation is reached, the activity of this triangle is so great that it looks more like a wheel in rapid revolution. it has a fourth dimensional aspect. the three petals at the centre are opening up, revealing the "blazing jewel" at this initiation, through th

his is a term applied to the fiery lives, which are the sumtotal of the plane substance, as seen in the first part of our treatise, and also to the tiny essences which compose the fires of manifestation. as the nature of physical plane electricity is understood and studied, and its true condition realised, the reality of the existence of these agnichaitans will stand revealed. as the race becomes clairvoyant, as it surely will in a great degree before the close of this rootrace, these gaseous devas will stand revealed, and men will realise that they are working with fiery lives, and that they are themselves closely allied to these lives through the fires of their own bodies. the clairvoyance which is in process of developing in this rootrace is entirely physical, and, under the law, its de

vitalised and its etheric form is completed or "sealed" as it is called, it can attain the dense physical form if desired. this does not mean that the individual thought forms of every man take dense substance upon the etheric, but they will eventuate in activity upon the physical plane. a man, for instance, is thinking a kindly thought; he has built it up and vitalised it; it is objective to the clairvoyant and exists in etheric matter close to the man. it will, therefore, find physical expression in an act of kindness or a physical caress. when the act is over, the caress consummated, the interest of the man in that particular thought form fades out and it dies. similarly with a crime the thought form has been built up and inevitably it will find its physical expression in some deed of o

bolically, in the early stages of human evolution, man is, from the angle of consciousness, relatively unresponsive and unconscious, as is matter in its early stages in the formative process. the achievement of full awareness is of course the goal of the evolutionary process. again symbolically speaking, the unevolved man emits or manifests no light. the light in the head is invisible, though the clairvoyant investigators would see the dim glow of the light within the elements which constitute the body, and the light hidden in the atoms which constitute the form nature. as evolution proceeds, these dim points of "dark light" intensify their glow; the light within the head flickers at intervals during the life of the average man, and becomes a shining light as he enters upon the path of dis

y etheric body, and constitutes its most refined and most highly developed aspect. as the aeons pass away there is a growing intensity of light radiating forth from our planet. this does not necessarily mean that a dweller on neptune would see our planet glowing with an increasingly brighter light, though this does happen in a few cases in the universe. but it means that, from the standpoint of a clairvoyant vision, the etheric planetary body will grow in vivid radiation and glory as that radiation expresses more and more the true light of the soul. the soul is light essentially, both literally from the vibratory angle, and philosophically from the angle of constituting the true medium of knowledge. the soul is light symbolically, for it is like the rays of the sun, which pour out into the

cases when a soul on the path of return to incarnation or immediately after death is impelled (for good and sufficient purpose) to make a contact with a friend or relative via a medium. such cases are known and usually presuppose more than average intelligence on the part of the sitter, the communicator and the medium. they constitute however, the exceptional occurrence. 4. the revelation to the clairvoyant and clairaudient worker of much of the phenomena of the astral plane, which parallels that of the physical plane and which is conditioned by the quality and calibre of the circle of people who constitute the audience. this, the medium interprets to them and it usually evokes recognition. i am here casting no doubt on the sincerity of the performance nor on those mediums who are born wi

the body. this will mean not only good health and the full and free use of all the faculties (higher and lower) but direct contact with the soul. it will produce that constant renewing of the body which is characteristic of the life expression of the initiate and the master, as well as of the disciple, only in a lesser degree. it will produce rhythmic expression of the divine life in form. to the clairvoyant view of the adept as he looks at the aspirant or disciple, it causes: 1. the rhythm of manifestation. this is the cause of the appearance and the disappearance of the form. the adept, by looking at the body, can tell just how long it has been in incarnation and how long it will still continue to "appear. the state of the pranic channels reveals this accurately, particularly those found

le question of psychic sensitivity of the higher kind is involved at this stage. i have taught in my writings most clearly and definitely the undesirability of the lower psychic experiences. this has been done as the need to warn aspirants anent this matter is great. the difficulty is enhanced by the fact that lower psychics are not easily reached and warned as they are ever determined that their clairvoyant and clairaudient powers are indicative of the advanced type of high spiritual unfoldment. their minds are closed to all warnings and they function often behind a barrier of smug self-satisfaction. they forget that the aboriginal races and animals are all psychic and register that which the more mental types fail to record. the rank and file of the people are inherently astral in their

very little is as yet known about auras, and a great deal of nonsense has been written anent the matter. the aura is usually spoken of in terms of colour and of light, due to the nature of the vision of the one who sees and the apparatus of response which is in use. two words only describe an aura from the point of view of occult knowledge and they are "quality" and "sphere of influence" what the clairvoyant really contacts is an impression which the mind rapidly translates into the symbology of colour, whereas there is no colour present. seeing an aura, as it is called, is in reality a state of awareness. that the seer may in all sincerity believe that he has registered a colour, a series of colours, or light, is entirely true in many cases, but what he has really recorded is the quality

ALICE A BAILEY17 TELEPATHY AND THE ETHERIC VEHICLE

e sounds and sights of the heavenly world (as the mystics call it) are as clearly perceived by the higher initiate as are the sights and sounds of the physical plane as you contact it in your daily round of duties. the world of energies, with its streams of directed force and its centres of concentrated light is likewise present, and the eye of the see-er can see it, just as the eye of the mental clairvoyant can see the geometrical pattern which thoughts assume upon the mental plane, or as the lower psychic can contact the glamours- 31- telepathy and the etheric vehicle copyright 1998 lucis trust the illusions and delusions of the astral world. the subjective realm is vitally more real than is the objective, once it is entered and known. it is simply (how simple to some and how insuperably

ALICE A BAILEY20 A TREATISE ON THE SEVEN RAYS VOLUME IV ESOTERIC HEALING

uld it be necessary to be so meticulous in enumerating the physical, psychological and systemic details of a purely academic nature when, by an act of the will and of divine power, and by the use of certain words of power, healing can be accomplished? these ideas are basically true, but are based upon a misapprehension in time and space. if all healers were masters of the wisdom, if they were all clairvoyant, if they comprehended the law of karma and its working out in the life of the patient, if they had the full cooperation of the patient, and if they had the ability to add to all the above requirements the use of certain words and mantrams, then the academic knowledge would indeed be needless. but these requirements are not and can not be met. healers, as a rule, have none of these powe

to it will be subjected to methods of occult healing, though the ordinary, ameliorative, medical or surgical methods will not be withheld. it is here that the fanatical cultist or healer of today so often goes astray. the old approach to medicine, with its physical investigation and its successful or unsuccessful diagnosis, will still be required until such time that physicians and surgeons have clairvoyant faculty, intuitive perception and spiritual insight, and also until they have worked out a technique for handling energy in relation to the patient. to this will some day be added correct astrological interpretation, immediate recognition of ray types, and then the application of the right healing techniques, as required by the ray which conditions the patient's life expression, plus h

f attention, before long, to the etheric body and its incident circulatory systems of energy, its interlocking relationships and the flow between the seven centres, between the centres themselves and the areas which they control. this will mark a tremendous advance in wise and useful approach; it will produce a basic simplification; it will lead to more correct methods of healing, particularly as clairvoyant vision is developed and becomes recognised by science, and known to be an extension of a normal sense. 10. as the true astrology comes into its own and is developed into a reputable science, the charts of the soul and of the personality can be related to each other; then the etheric body will be checked by correct astrological conclusions, and the physician will be on far surer ground

will have been made. esoteric students are willing to recognise that the physical body is automatic in its response to emotional, mental or soul impression; so closely, however, is the etheric body interwoven with the physical vehicle that it is well nigh impossible to separate the two in consciousness; this will not be proven or possible until the science of etheric energy and the development of clairvoyant perception demonstrate the truth of what i say. this is again a needed repetition. medical science, through its study of the nervous system and its recognition of the power of thought over the physical body, is moving rapidly in a right direction. when it admits, in relation to the physical body, that "energy follows thought" and then begins to experiment with the concept of thought cu

re, is referred to as an episode, and as a transitional point in a vast series of transitions. when this attitude of the soul is grasped, our entire technique of living, and incidentally of dying, is utterly altered. in conclusion, however, and in apparent but no real negation of all that i have said above, let me repeat that the healer will give of his best to the one he seeks to heal. having no clairvoyant power in the majority of cases, and being time-conscious and under the influence of karma, he will do his utmost along the lines of his own training and in accordance with the instructions given in this treatise on healing. i suggest that you grasp that the objective before any healer at this time and at this given point in the evolutionary unfoldment of the race is the need, when so a

ing to the need of the individual to be healed. it would serve a real group purpose if all of you would study what is said by rama prasad in his book, nature's finer forces, and by patanjali in the light of the soul on the subject of the pranas with which and within which we work; you should be somewhat familiar with the matter. to answer the question specifically: an initiate or even a low-grade clairvoyant can easily distinguish between soul and personality healing energies, but the average intelligent aspirant as- 211- a treatise on the seven rays- volume iv: esoteric healing copyright 1998 lucis trust yet cannot. the initiate knows the source from which any type of healing energy may come. he senses its vibration and can follow it to its emanating source by an effort of the will, direc

upied with the tangible instrument on this side of the veil that they neglect the factor of what must be contributed from the other side by those who have passed over. the work will be done from there, with the material aid which as yet has not been provided in the outer scientific field. to bring this about, collaboration of a conscious medium (not a trance medium, but someone who is consciously clairvoyant and clairaudient) will be required. there are many such growing up among the children of today, and the next generation after them will provide still more. the separating veil will disappear through the testimony of the thousands of those who can see phenomena and hear sounds which lie outside the range of the tangible. you say that the spirits state that they cannot stand electricity

stiny. this, if grasped, will bring about a new attitude both to god and to circumstance. the prerequisites which i would like to emphasise might be enumerated as follows: 1. a recognition of the great law of cause and effect, if possible. this is not always possible when dealing with the totally unenlightened. 2. correct diagnosis of the disease by a competent physician, and later by a spiritual clairvoyant, when that capacity is developed by the initiate healer. 3. a belief in the law of immediate karma. by that i mean an ability on the part of the patient or of the healer to know whether it is the destiny of the patient to be healed or else be helped to make the great transition. 4. a willingness to recognise that healing might be detrimental and basically undesirable from the standpoin

sence of an inexplicable factor; the laboratories of the scientific research worker have scarcely proved even that. for every case of the definitely acceptable appearance of a discarnate person there are thousands of cases which can be explained upon the grounds of gullibility, telepathic rapport (with the bereaved person, but not with anyone who has passed over, the seeing of thoughtforms by the clairvoyant and the hearing of voices by the clairaudient, and also by trickery. note that i refer to "acceptable appearances" of a returning spirit. there is enough evidence to warrant belief in survival and to prove its factual nature. upon the grounds of the inexplicable phenomena of contact with the supposedly dead which have been noted, investigated and proven, and upon the character of the m

s. the occultists of the world, through the theosophical societies and other occult bodies, so-called, have greatly damaged the presentation of the truth anent reincarnation through the unnecessary, unimportant, inaccurate and purely speculative details which they give out as truths anent the processes of death and the circumstances of man after death. these details are largely dependent upon the clairvoyant vision of astral psychics of prominence in the theosophical society. yet in the scriptures of the world these details are not given, and h.p.b. in the secret doctrine gave none. an instance of this inaccurate and foolish attempt to throw light upon the theory of rebirth can be seen in the time limits imposed upon departed human souls between incarnations on the physical plane and the r

ng proved. if that is not so, then we are the victims of a collective hallucination, and the brains and minds of thousands of people are untrue and deceiving, are diseased and distorted. such a gigantic collective insanity is more difficult to credit than the alternative of an expanded consciousness. page 98-99. a. the growth of etheric vision and the largely increased numbers of clairaudient and clairvoyant people is steadily revealing the existence of the astral plane and the etheric counterpart of the physical world. more and more people are becoming aware of this subjective realm: they see people walking around who are either the so-called "dead" or who, in sleep, have dropped the physical sheath. page 98. b. the next two hundred years will see the abolition of death, as we now underst

oul has withdrawn the consciousness thread or aspect, but not the life thread, in an effort to give the physical elemental time to regain its grip upon the organism and thus to restore health. as yet, modern science does- 273- a treatise on the seven rays- volume iv: esoteric healing copyright 1998 lucis trust not recognise the distinction between these two aspects of coma. later, when etheric or clairvoyant vision is more common, the quality of the coma prevailing will be known, and the elements of hope or of despair will no longer control. the friends and relations of the unconscious person will know exactly whether they are watching a great and final withdrawal from present incarnation or simply looking on at a restorative process. in the latter case, the soul is still retaining its hol

ally speaking. this is a moment of great radiance; it is almost as if a point of pulsating light burst into flame, and as if within that flame seven points of intensified light took shape. this is a high point in the experience of taking incarnation, and precedes physical birth by a very short period of time. it is that which brings on the birth hour. the next phase of the process, as seen by the clairvoyant, is the stage of interpenetration, during which "the seven become the twenty-one and then the many; the light substance, the energy aspect of the soul, begins to permeate the physical body, and the creative work of the etheric or vital body is completed. the first recognition of this upon the physical plane is the "sound" uttered by the newborn infant. it climaxes the process. the act

alises that there is still the possibility of cure, and can then, with greater confidence, proceed with the work to be done. in this statement, i am dealing with the average person. in the case of initiates, it is somewhat different, because they frequently remain fully conscious through the death process. you will, therefore, realise the basic necessity for the healer in the new age to be either clairvoyant or far better still to have true spiritual perception with its quality of infallibility. his first task is to investigate or "occultly see" the etheric body of the patient, and thus arrive at the following knowledge: 1. the potency with which the soul influences its etheric body. this is indicated by the point of light in the head centre and the area which it irradiates. 2. the conditi

separateness, those thoughts which feed ambition and which foster love of power, and those germs of desire and personal longing (which divide groups) emerge from contact with it. the results to those who are deceived thereby are sad. i would like to point out also that trance mediumship, as it is called, must inevitably be superseded by that mediumship which is offered by the man or woman who is clairvoyant or clairaudient on the astral plane, and who therefore in full waking consciousness and with the physical brain alert and active can offer himself as an intermediary between men in physical plane bodies (and therefore blind and deaf on the subtler levels) and those who, having discarded their bodies, are cut off from physical communication. this type of psychic can communicate with bot

rcial exploitation, then so much the better for him, viewing him as an immortal soul, with a spiritual destiny and usefulness. the instruction given to the intelligent medium and psychic should lead him to a full understanding of himself and of his powers; it should develop those powers without risk and with care, and he should be stabilised in the position of the positive controlling factor. his clairvoyant and clairaudient powers should gradually be perfected, and the right interpretation of what he sees and contacts on the plane of illusion, the astral plane, should be cultivated. thus we shall gradually find emerging in the world a large body of trained psychics whose powers are understood and who function on the astral plane with as much intelligence as they function on the physical p

use of narcotics and intoxicants, fasts, ascetic practices, incense, narcotic salves, and various forms of hypnotism. the hallucinatory appearances seen in the mediumistic or somnambulistic trance are allied to those of hypnotism, but usually arise spontaneously, and are often associated with clairvoyance. crystallomancy or crystal gazing is a form of apparition that is believed to be frequently clairvoyant, and in this case the theory of telepathy is especially applicable. crystal visions fall under the heading of induced apparitions, since gazing in a crystal globe induces in some persons an altered or slight dissociation of consciousness, without which hallucination is impossible. another form of clairvoyance is second sight, a faculty commonly reported among the scottish highlanders

f clairvoyance very thoroughly. first of all the magician will realize that there are various kinds of clairvoyance. the principle kind is the inborn capacity of clairvoyance which its bearer has been granted whether in the invisible world already, or which he brought with him from a former into his present existence. this kind of clairvoyance is the best, but very few humans enjoy it, being born clairvoyant to such a degree that they can practice it immediately without any effort at all. a second kind of clairvoyance is that which occurs spontaneously and is therefore to be regarded as a pathological symptom. a shock in the case of severe illness also can cause the capacity of clairvoyance. this usually happens in the case of people who lose their equilibrium as the result of a stroke, a

escribed here are equally good, and the outcome will be the same. the important point is that the eyes will become receptive again in the normal way as soon as they are set free from the light. this is necessary for the simple reason that the astral eyes of the magician, when developed in this manner, will not become over-sensitive so that they would not be able to discern what normal eyes or the clairvoyant ones are seeing. supposing that the magician failed to dissolve the concentrated light, his eyes probably would remain clairvoyant and he would hardly be able to distinguish between material and spiritual matters. therefore he ought to have his power of clairvoyance well in hand and allow it to become effective only if he thinks it desirable. by frequent repetition of this exercise, th

failed to dissolve the concentrated light, his eyes probably would remain clairvoyant and he would hardly be able to distinguish between material and spiritual matters. therefore he ought to have his power of clairvoyance well in hand and allow it to become effective only if he thinks it desirable. by frequent repetition of this exercise, the magician will achieve such skill that he can allow his clairvoyant eye, the so-called light-eye, to function in a few moments. eyes prepared in this way, whether closed or open, can see anything the magician wishes to, whether in a crystal globe or a in a magic mirror; his clairvoyant eye will see everything. the quality of clairvoyant perception then depends exclusively on the purity of his character. an excellent remedy contributing to a quicker suc

obvious that it must be left to the magician himself how far-reaching he will be able to train his astral eyes. at all events, he may be warned not to boast of the abilities he has won, or even worse, to misuse them to harm his fellow men. he ought to utilize the solely for the benefit of mankind. time and space won t be a handicap to him and nothing will remain concealed before him as far as his clairvoyant eyes are concerned. 2. the magical development of the astral clairaudience this development is very much in line with the one of clairvoyance. the faculty of the astral clairaudience is based on the fact that one is able to hear voices even at the remotest distance and, at the same time, to understand the language of all beings. at the beginning this faculty manifests itself in thinkin

lerable manner. the rest of the power remains in the water and you are protected against any magic drawback or reaction. now leave the bath and dry yourself, but leave the puppet in the water until it has cooled down. the silk in which it was wrapped might also have fallen into the water. let the cold water drain off, but make sure that nobody else comes in touch with this water. if your eyes are clairvoyant and you notice that the figure is still emanating an aura, throw it once more into hot water and the fluid condenser will mix with the water. you may perform this experiment in any case even if you don t see the emanation. at least you will be sure that all life in the elementary is extinct. burn or bury the remains of the doll together with the silk. with this last operation the eleme

aling mediums will ever understand to release the dynamic power corresponding to the primary principles in the same marvelous way as the magician does. the presupposition here, of course, is that the magician knows the occult anatomy of the body with respect to the elements; otherwise, any influence on the seat of the disease would be quite impossible. with the help of the akasa principle and his clairvoyant eyes, the magician will immediately recognize the cause of the illness and be able to influence the roots of the illness. when the origin of the sickness happens to be in the mental sphere, the magician first of all has to influence the mind of the patient to restore the harmony. as i mentioned before, the astral sphere can only influence the astral plane, exactly as the material spher

r another person with a volt is done in the same manner, but the fluids are not drawn through the body but directly from the universe. volting for other persons should be practiced only in the worst case of positive need, because the magician has to be absolutely sure that the person in question is really inspired by high ideals, longing for ideals only, but being haunted by karma. the magician s clairvoyant eyes will recognize these facts and his intuition will always teach him what to do and what to avoid. at this point the magician himself will be responsible for all and everything. the most skeptical thomas, however, would be greatly amazed at the enormous effect of such a magical volt bound to a small magnet so that the ball wraps the whole magnet. 2-10. loading by mago-sexual operati

man of the team imparted to me that there was an intense energy field close to the ground. i could sense/feel this energy above the surface of the ground during the experience, and have since proved that i can also sense its level while awake. this energy field is green, 6-18 inches high, and flows in waves from south to north. the waves have tremendous amounts of energy. 3.5.1 initial tests with clairvoyants in august of 1995, i conducted tests with clairvoyants and clairsentients (sensitives) to get more information to corroborate my experience; namely, is there some type of energy field near the earth and what are it characteristics? these first tests were conducted without telling the sensitives of my experience or of the energy field. they were asked to examine the higher/finer energy

experience or of the energy field. they were asked to examine the higher/finer energy levels near the earth's surface and determine what they could sense/see. results from the tests with the sensitives are as follows: there is an apple green colored energy field at the surface of the earth with waves going through this energy field. the energy color was close to the color of a granny smith apple. clairvoyants said the green energy was difficult to see in bright light but oasy to feel. the energy varies from 6 to 36 inches in height above the surface of the earth. the waves move from south to north. the wave crests are 15- 18 inches apart and the peak of the waves was about 4- 5 inches in amplitude. the waves go along for a small distance of 3 or 4 feet and then break up into a series of sh

psychology stimulated by such pioneers as dr. horacio rinoldi, scientific techniques were applied to the study of the paranormal. the first institute of psychology was created in the university of buenos aires in november 1931 to investigate general psychology, psychological pathology, psychometry, and psychotechniques. dr. enrique mochet, who headed the institute, observed activities of various clairvoyants and mediums and included a course on paranormal psychology. other scientists at the institute included dr. fernando gorriti, prof. dr. gonzalez bosch, and prof. jose fernandez. in 1933 fernandez founded the atman spiritualist circle and also attended meetings of the psyke circle, known for their seances with clairvoyants and mediums. their successes or failures were assessed statistic

time in the astral world, the civilized man spending relatively longer. the appropriate body is the astral body, which although composed of matter as is the physical body, is nevertheless of a texture vastly finer than the latter. although it is in its aspect of the after-death abode that the astral world is of most importance and most interest, it may be said that even during physical life, some clairvoyants and even ordinary people are said to be aware of it. this happens during sleep, or by reason of the action of anesthetics or drugs, or accidents; and the interpenetrating astral body then leaves its denser physical counterpart, taking with it the sense of pleasure and pain, and lives for a short time in its own world. here again the state of the primitive differs from that of his more
