The Veils Between Life And Death


[QUOTING]

We explained that because of all the atmospheric agitation, many strange phenomena will begin to claim the attention of mankind. We also stated that the fading away of many natural veils between this side of death and the other, due to the powerful activity of inert gas B, will reveal much that hitherto has been hidden. It is necessary to examine this matter more closely.

The chemical element phosphorous is essential to bring about "materialisations" during certain spiritualistic experiments. The manifesting entities withdraw phosphorus from the cerebellum of the medium and from the others present at the seance and drape this fluorescent substance around forms of astral matter which they wish to show to the assembled company. The human blood, tissues, nerves and bones contain phosphoric substances of varying potency  and composition, and with the help of these it is fairly easy for entities who know what they are doing to provide the spiritualistic seekers with some satisfaction.

However, such a materialisation is practically always a contrived scene and not a reality; a "contrived scene' in the sense that the controlling entities project an arbitrary, fantasy form into the astral substance, animating and clothing it with fluorescent phosphorous. For example, during an esoteric investigation, we once saw the lovely form of a young girl and the majestic figure of an oriental robed in white, whereas the animators of those images offered a far less impressive and pleasing sight, arousing disgust because of their very repulsive appearance.

Likewise, in the ordinary material sphere of life, it frequently happens that a human being projects to the outside world a certain form of spirit, soul and body which is not at all his true one.  Sometimes a great deal of trouble, tension and sorrow are necessary before one is able to distinguish between pretence and reality.

On the other side of the veil it is much easier to use the perfidious weapons of pretence, at least against those who still exist in the physical plane. Astral substance is very pliable; thought forms can very easily be clothed in ethers and even in solids, liquids and gases. Just as man, in his own auric sphere, maintains a pantheon of self-created , animated thought-forms of an intellectual and religious nature, so there are also numerous earth-bound spirits who increase human delusion by means of astral projections, or at least they try to do so and, unfortunately, succeed only too well among many ignorant people.

In the near future the atmosphere of the material world will be rendered phosphorescent  by the influence of inert gas B. In some regions of the globe such a situation has already been forced into existence by nuclear experiments. By making very large areas radioactive for many weeks, a great concentration of inert gases has been caused to develop over these parts of the world. This has changed the atmosphere in such a radical way that very peculiar phenomena have developed.

You can probably imagine the consequences of this phosphorization. All the entities residing in the etheric sphere will become visible to the material eye. This includes the many nature-forces and nature-spirits, but especially the earth-bound spirits who, although dead, cannot or will not leave our earthly sphere and cling by every possible means to this sphere and to those who are still in their physical bodies. All of these, whether voluntarily or against their will, will become visible to the material eye.

This general unmasking will cause emotions to run very high and will, among other things, put an end to the wave of spiritualism which is passing through the world and which is responsible for so much terrible mischief. When what has so far been invisible to ordinary sight becomes generally visible, thousands of people who have indulged in these experiments will turn away in disgust. By this rejection they will develop such a strong, repelling magnetic power that the earth-bound spirits will be forced to withdraw from the etheric sphere of the material world.

Thus we can see how, in addition to causing many precarious situations, the atmospheric revolution will also bring many blessings, provided that people react in the right way. One can practically predict such a reaction, for as soon as it becomes generally evident and verifiable what kinds of entities manifest themselves at the seance tables, how they impersonate deceased relatives, and how it is possible to keep up such a deception, then the whole spiritualistic group will turn away from their exploitation of the spirits with a cry of revulsion.

However, when much that has been hidden until now becomes visible, this may also cause great confusion and lead to very regrettable errors. The fluorescent, etheric sphere will begin to play tricks on the nature-religious human being. It will be able to bring back the times when primitive peoples made gods of nature-spirits, worshipping them, and by doing so, forgetting the "One Thing Needful".

[END QUOTING]

As a part of what is to come, etheric sight will be bestowed on mankind. Those who are not prepared for this will be taken completely by surprise. This new manifestation, this "unmasking"  will be helpful in that it will show the "True colors" of all humans. For instance, no longer will a person be able to sweet-talk you to your face his face while thinking completely evil thoughts about you. All will be made visible to the physical eye. However, mankind has little experience with seeing in the etheric realms, so mistakes can be made. The next post will discuss that.

Could you please explain what is meant by Gustav Meyrink term 'the image with the dead eyes' And if possible which chapter and book does it comes from?

andrew,

"the image with the dead eyes" is a symbolic reference used to describe any fallen microcosm (mortal soul) that houses a dormant divine-spark.

We are "image-bearers" of the True, Original Divine Man. However, most of us are blind to our True Purpose, to the One Goal of all Humanity - Liberation. As long as we are in this fallen state, as long as the Spirit-spark atom lies asleep within our hearts, we see with "dead eyes" (a symbolic reference to the dormant divine-spark).

Once the divine-spark, the Rose of the Heart, is awakened and the nature-born human begins to take his or her first steps on The Path, the "eyes" of the New Soul will begin to open, so that the seeking candidate will be able to see clearly The Way to the One Goal.

i do not know where the reference is made in Mr. Meyrink's works, however, the term is frequently used in the writings of true gnostics and true Rosicrucians.
