Fiery World - Book 1 (1933) - 137:
137. Add, when writing
to the Latvian physician During observations of the eyes of the obsessed
he must not lose sight of the fact that an observed symptom may change. At
the approach of fiery energy, the symptom may disappear, as it were. The
obsessing agent may begin to rave, or it may withdraw,
taking the symptom with it. Therefore, the observation should be carried
on without sending the fiery energy beforehand, otherwise this action will
turn into expulsion of the obsessor. Such an action is excellent in
itself, but it is beyond the scope of the oculist. The same reaction is
sometimes observed in skin diseases which, under the influence of fiery
energy, alter their appearance and even disappear. Let us not forget that
obsession is sometimes manifested cutaneously, or by twitchings of the
face. Nevertheless, the Latvian physician deserves praise, for it is not
easy to perceive the crystals of brown gas.
Fiery World - Book 1 (1933) - 375:
375. The seed of the
spirit and the divisibility of spirit provide the explanation regarding
the monad. The seed of the spirit is indispensable to life. The
divisibility of spirit makes possible both the enrichment and the
dissipation of the monad. One can consciously divide one's spirit for the
good of the world and send forth its separate parts for achievement. From
this, only enrichment results. But ignorance may dissipate the treasure
and remain together with a dormant seed. From this, soullessness results.
Actually, the parts of the spirit dissipated in ignorance may become
obsessing agents, and then, woe to the sleeping heart!
Thus, in order to avoid returning again to the divisibility of spirit, let
us remember that the seed of the spirit can sleep or can be radiant in
vigilance. Only by this light is the magnet of the heart created, which
attracts to its bosom the released parts of spirit. There is a vast
difference between setting free and losing. Thus, one can remember that
the slumbering seed of the spirit, though it maintains life, admits all
the qualities of soullessness.
Fiery World - Book 2 (1934) - 86:
86. Many criminals will
turn to labor under suggestion. Just as drunkenness and other vices,
ailments of crime may be cured by the command of the will. It must not be
forgotten also that many crimes are committed under the influence of
obsession. Consequently such people need to be cured, and not punished.
Definitely, during such treatments, increased, systematic labor has a
decisive significance; for the obsessing entities every
labor is hateful. They try to cast one into chaos, but the essence of
labor is already a countermanifestation. One ought not be distressed by
the thought as to whence will come the strong suggestions. They are many,
but they are dissociated. When the Institute of Psychic Energy will be
established, it will bring together many useful co-workers. It should not
be forgotten that an Institute of Astrology would be very helpful toward
the verification of data. Not long ago governments were ashamed to pay
attention to heavenly luminaries, as well as to human powers, but psychic
energy must occupy the attention of enlightened people.
Fiery World - Book 2 (1934) - 417:
417. The ancient
prophecies say "When all becomes darkened, then people fancy that
everything is permitted them." Actually darkness makes people insane.
Daring is not madness. Everyone who dares is conscious of ordained
possibilities, but the madman manifests opposition to the law of
Existence. There is a fine boundary line between madness and daring. The
torch of the heart is needed in order to find this boundary. Having once
entered the domain of madness, one can hardly turn back again to a wise
daring. Rishi were daring; saints were daring; but they did not admit
madness, for it is first of all hideous. It leads to obsession, with all
its dark consequences. How ugly is the picture of the
obsessing entity trying to expel from the body the subtle
vehicle! There can be nothing more hideous than the spectacle of two
subtle bodies disputing about one earthly envelope.
AUM (1936) - 305:
305. Obsession and self-poisoning are
close companions. They are equally little recognized by people. During the
process of self-poisoning, obsession is especially easy, but under
obsession poisoning ultimately takes place; such poisoning is
ineradicable. Certain people assert that during obsession the health not
only does not fail but even improves. This is a great error, the apparent
good health is the result of the nervous tension only. Moreover, the
intrusion of a foreign psychic energy inevitably opens a channel to
various infections. Obsession is not psychism, but it affects the entire
organism. Let us say definitely - obsession is not only a psychic sickness
but also an evidence of infection of the whole organism. Many epidemics
have obsession as their origin. Indeed, the dark
obsessing entity is not concerned about the health of its
victim. Every disease is in itself a dissolution which is pleasing to
darkness. Two psychic energies cannot live long together. Periodically
there may be a relaxation of the obsession, such a method is employed by
the obsessors if they value the victim. |
