This book was released on 2018-01-07 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dialogue between the two Editors of Lucifer, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and Mabel Collins on astral bodies or doppelgängers. Lucifer was a monthly theosophical journal published from September 1887 to August, 1897, in London. There are three kinds of “doubles” or astral bodies: 1. The most material double: the Protean or plastic body (linga-sharira) of the gross physical body (shtula-sharira). 2. The middle, psycho-physical double: the “thought” or “dream” body (kama-manas), vehicle of animal desires (kama) and worldly thoughts (manas). Occultists call it the illusion-body (mayavi-rupa). 3. The truly spiritual double: the true Ego (monas + manas) is the causal body (karana-sharira) and chief cause of reincarnation, known in the trans-Himalayan schools as the karmic body. Adepts can project consciously, and dying persons unconsciously, an illusory appearance of their person to any distant location — while their physical body is left “entranced.” This phantom is termed mayavi-rupa. The ability to project a mayavic rupa depends upon the plastic power of the imagination and the higher faculties of the mind. Imagination is far more intense in those who are spiritually minded, than in those whose metaphysical part of the brain has atrophied, for it is by this very intense imagination that the former obtain the power of creation. However, when armed with a powerful imagination, a malicious person can turn unconsciously bad thoughts to a lethal weapon. Unless the evil-wisher is a high adept in Black Magic, in which case his karma is delayed, such a wish only comes back to roost. Warning to students of occultism: learn how to adapt your ideas and thoughts to your plastic potency. Otherwise, you are creating things by which you may be making bad karma.

Download or read book Man and His Bodies written by Annie Besant and published by BookRix. This book was released on 2019-01-09 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to Theosophy, the generally prevailing idea that man is a body and has a soul should be reversed. The physical body, it is maintained, is not the real man, and to regard it so is equivalent to mistaking a house for the one who dwells within it. Man—the true man—is the monad, a fragment of divinity, a spark of the divine flame. In the well known Biblical story, when Jesus had driven the money-changers out of the temple, he said to those who questioned him, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up...” But he spoke of the temple of his body. Jesus spoke from that lofty state of awareness toward which, says Theosophy, we all move: The Christ-consciousness which knows the body as but a vehicle. The seed of all power, all wisdom, and all goodness is encased in the shell of the body awaiting fruition, and man, in the course of his evolution, has to unfold its latent potentialities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: OUR NEXT STOP AFTER DEATH - THE ASTRAL WORLD What happens to us after we die? Is there really a life after death? Which part of us survives and where do we go to? What is the astral world? This book gives us an insight to the astral dimension, a world of emotions, imagination and creation -an exact replica of the physical world we live in, as is our astral body -an exact replica of our physical body. The astral, the heavenly realm of light and indestructible life, the realm of vibratory life energy is hidden behind an invisible veil from our material world. The veil between the two worlds, however, has been ruptured and mysteries are being revealed. After death, our astral body, spirit and soul return to the astral world, free of all physical limitations. We humans live on earth on different levels of consciousness, and as to how long the astral body and soul while on the astral plane and on which level, awaiting reincarnation or not, depends on the level of our consciousness during our lifetime here on earth and the moment of our death.
Download or read book Seeing Myself written by Susan Blackmore and published by Robinson. This book was released on 2019-06-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essential reading for anyone seeking to understand their own mind and to find a spiritual path that is compatible with science As an impressionable young student, Susan Blackmore had an intense, dramatic and life-changing experience, seeming to leave her body and travel the world. With no rational explanation for her out-of-body experience (OBE) she turned to astral projection and the paranormal, but soon despaired of finding answers. Decades later, a Swiss neurosurgeon accidentally discovered the spot in the brain that can induce OBEs and everything changed; this crucial spot is part of the brain's self-system and when disturbed so is our experience of self. Blackmore leaped back into OBE research and at last began to unravel what had happened to her. Seeing Myself describes her long quest for answers through spirituality, religion, drugs, meditation, philosophy and neuroscience. Anyone can have an OBE, indeed 15 per cent of us have. Even more have experienced sleep paralysis, lucid dreaming and the creepy sense of an invisible presence. At last, with the advent of brain stimulation, fMRI scanning and virtual reality, all these phenomena are beginning to make sense. Long relegated to the very fringes of research, the new science of out-of-body experiences is now contributing to our understanding of consciousness and our very selves.
Download or read book My Little Journal of Out of Body Experiences written by Denise Martinson and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009-11 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is not a book about how to teach out-of-body-experiences (OBEs). There are many good books already written on how to induce them. It is not about the history of OBEs. Even though there have been numerous studies in the field that still challenges nonphysical existence, such as near-death experiences (NDEs) and other metaphysical subjects, it is the OBE that aids in our growth and development and, most especially, our awareness about eternity. Scientists, who are unable to solve out-of-body experiences or near-death experiences, try to explain them as the body's way of tricking itself into believing it lives after death. They say it is the loss of oxygen to the brain, or a psychological episode that causes hallucinations. When in truth, we leave our bodies every single night, not under any defense apparatus, but our natural, nightly ritual called dreams, which are really out-of-body experiences. In fact, an NDE is not necessary in order to have an OBE, or being ill or under drugs, but they still may bring them on. Some researchers believe the mind separates while in the OBE or altered state of consciousness. This is because consciousness has the ability to be in two places at once. Just like when we were born, we had to grow and learn, and while this was happening, the mind acquired new knowledge as it traveled on the other side. In other words, our soul stays with the body (except during an OBE) until we pass over because it is the body that shuts down and dies, not the soul or consciousness. It releases itself completely to the other side after death. During an OBE, I still had my body, all five of my senses, and an extremely alert and a sharp mental state. They have helped me to never fear death. In fact, each experience enriched my life even more. Especially when I was quiet and was able to tune into the energy within, where I easily entered other dimensions and received guidance. Believe me, it is not easy to write a book about OBEs. It is not an everyday subject to focus on or for us to understand. But once the reader enters my journal of out-of-body experiences, they will journey with me to the other side, visit other dimensions, see the light, and hopefully, be able to understand their own spirituality along the way. Note: The "Brain Bits" sections have the most information and answers many questions. Even the great Edgar Cayce once said that other people could leave their bodies like he did.
Download or read book Madame Blavatsky on Mahatmas and Their Bodies written by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and published by Philaletheians UK. This book was released on 2018-08-12 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mahatmas can travel in their inner or astral body, preserve full command of all their intelligence, and condense their “phantom” form into visibility or dissolve it into invisibility. But They are not accident-proof for They are living men in living bodies. Their Mayavi-Rupa is furnished by the Auric Egg. At death, Their apparitional or astral body becomes as solid and tangible as was the late physical body. – When the body of an Adept is entirely at the command of the Inner Man, – When the Spiritual Self is completely reunited with its seventh principle even during the lifetime of the personality, — When the Astral Man or Personal Self has become so purified that he has gradually assimilated all the qualities and attributes of the middle nature (Buddhi and Manas in their terrestrial aspect), Then it can be said that the material lower self substitutes itself for the spiritual Higher Self, and is thenceforth capable of living an independent life on earth. Mahatmas are able to desert their bodies, which live on from that point until the day of death of the body entirely devoid of a soul. But the influence of the Adept on the atoms, and consequently on all new physical atoms coming into the form, is such that no evil influence enters and the life led by that body is harmless and often actively good. There are two types of voluntary and conscious incarnations: those of Nirmanakayas, and those undertaken by the probationary chelas who are on trial.

Download or read book FOUNDATIONS OF ESOTERICISM written by Rudolf Steiner and published by Rudolf Steiner Press. This book was released on 2019-04-25 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'It is a cosmic law that what has once taken place can never vanish, but must reappear later in a metamorphosed form. Every thought, feeling and action brought about by man does not only affect the world around him but will re-appear in the future...' (From the Preface)This course of lectures was originally offered as private, strictly verbal instruction to a select group of esoteric pupils. In an atmosphere of earnest study, Rudolf Steiner 'translated' from the Akashic Script valuable concepts of human and cosmic knowledge into words of earthly language – content that is often not to be found in his later lectures. Although working within the Theosophical Society, Steiner was an independent spiritual teacher: '... I would only bring forward the results of what I beheld in my own spiritual research.'The manifold, exact and detailed descriptions of the events of evolution in these lectures form a background to the evolving figure of the human being. The mighty event of the moon leaving the Earth, vividly described, took place – according to Rudolf Steiner – in order to provide an environment suited to human progress. The wonderful moment when the higher being of man descended in a bell-like form and enveloped the lower human body, still on a level with the animals, depicts what eventually provided human beings with a body suited to the development of the self or 'I'. Spiritual beings and the great initiates led humanity along the path it was destined to tread.Rudolf Steiner presents a sweep of occult knowledge, including the phases of planetary evolution, various myths and symbols, human physical and spiritual organs, illness, reincarnation, and much more. Also included are unexpected insights into specific phenomena such as dinosaurs, bacteria, radiation, black and white magic, the Sphinx and Freemasonry.
