Michael,
All my message was about Psychology, about emotions. The negative emotions and earthly attachments that does not enable us "to fly" to the top of the highest summits, but keep us in the valley...
The Spirit is made of an energy almost similar to « static electricity » and of light, so yes, there is no crude matter in it, it is pure. But if dead people begin their purification in the lower second sphere, it is because there is « something » to purify from the materialistic attachments. And this « something » is the earthly personnality.
I was not talking about the disembodied people, but about people still walking on this planet… I was not talking about OBE or the exercices of Astral Travel (our spirit does it easily during the night, when our conscient MIND, or conscience does not put ITS CONTROL). I agree that it is the natural ability of the spirit to fly FREELY in the space, in the universe ; we do it each night, and we all meet our astral friends and talk with them during the night. Remote viewing or aerial viewing is also part of our natural psychic inheritance.
For each Human LIVING ON THIS EARTH, there is « something » in between the physical body and his eternal spirit, it is THE MIND. (I shall copy below some comments from spirits who consider the MIND as a matter). Anyway, as long as we live on this earth, our spirit will still be prisoner of the physical body and of the conscient MIND.
Yoga teachers teach us the way of LIBERATION (psychological liberation) from the control of the conscient MIND (internal controls), and from earthly and wordly controls (external controls): materialistic attachments including obssesions, sex/alcohol/drug/substance addictions, destructive company, earthly desires, ambitions, negativity of the thoughts and of the emotions, …
I was using the word TO FLY symbolically for the Psychology, for the mentality, for the personality. I agree, we came on this planet to learn some experiences.
About the woman I was talking about, she will not « fly » very high in this life ; I mean she has a very low mentality. She is jealous of those that are free in their mind, those who have no or less inhibitions and have the freedom of expression, those who are free in their life, those that seem to have more than her, who seem to go where they want, who seem to be happier than her. Her jealousy and other negative emotions will keep her captive and suffering near the earth. She will not change in this life unless she find someone who will help her to find « THE FORGETFULNESS OF THE SELF ». This can be achieve through service for the humanity, humanitarian services for people suffering more than herself. It is where there is more spiritual growth for anyone who do not want to stagnate and want to speed his/her growth.
The Darkness that is on Earth is also in the low astral. The Divine Beauty of our inner being is like a vein of gold which is embeded deeply under many layers of matter. It is in the state of "POTENTIAL". These Divine qualities are to be developed (exactly like mediumship can be fully developped, step by step, by a tutor) and to come up to the surface. At the beginning of spiritual path, the conscience is not yet awake and is still in the dark, in the selfishness sphere. Yes, we learn through hard experiences. It is like in gold mining, when the stone has to be crushed many times (our pains) and washed with water (our cries), before we understand about our divine qualities (the Beauty, the generosity, the joy, the charity, the kindness, the patience, the tolerance, the flexibility and the indulgence…) and then we do everything to increase our self-control even in front of the aggressions of the immatures, and to express only what is ennobling.
here below some basic definitions from Spirits
1 - MICROCOSM :
- THE MAN
While we are on the earth we are three in one. We have the physical body, which is the outgrowth of earthly conditions, and we have the spiritual body, which is an outgrowth of our earthly body; and we have the divine life, which is the same yesterday, to-day, and forever.
About the connecting relations of the three principles, matter, spirit, and mind :
- Spirit is the all-pervading presence called life.
- Mind is the medium between spirit and matter; matter the machine through which the spirit manifests - through the medium of mind - while in the external life. As the spirit passes on, or changes states of being, it becomes less and less dependent upon crude matter for its expressions. It is dependent upon matter for its expression even in the spiritworld, but not the class of matter that it is dependent upon while here. It is so refined that human senses take no cognizance of it whatever; but yet it is matter.
Mind is almost entirely dependent upon the formation of the external body for expression. It is the medium between spirit and crude matter. It is a mirror through which the spirit reflects itself upon matter, and its capacities are increased or decreased in correspondence with the increase or decrease of harmonious matter. It belongs to matter.
- THE UNBODIED SPIRIT :
« A spirit, after leaving the body, is as independent individuality as when in the body. There are two distinctive individualities; one belonging to earth and earthly experiences and conditions, and the other belonging exclusively to the soul, to spirit experiences and conditions. The spirit carries with it the effects of its individuality here —that which belonged to it while here in the body. These effects it outworks ip deeds in the spirit-world. But the individuality that belongs more properly to the spirit in its spiritual condition is more fully expressed after death than before. Here in this life the earthly individuality is in the ascendant.
« After this life is passed, and you take on the second sphere of change, then the spiritual individuality gains the ascendant over the material. It is not sudden; it comes by slow and distinct degrees, but it is sure to come - the individuality that belongs to the soul, through which the soul proper, or spirit, expresses itself, that gains the ascendency after death. Before death the earthly individuality is in activity. Its power is superior to the individuality of the spirit, because of earth and its laws. Earth calls for earthly individuality. Its laws demand it, and they are just as exacting and unerring as are divine laws.
« The earthly individuality gradually loses its identity, precisely after this fashion: You have lost the identity of childhood; it has gone from you. You have another, the identity of manhood. So it is with regard to the spirit. You do not suddenly pass from childhood to manhood. No. The degrees come slowly and steadily upon you. So it is with regard to all individualities. Individuality is but a succession of states of being that belong either to the spirit or to the material life.
« This is the reason why our friends who have passed away do not in their communications give us more positive evidence of their earthly individuality. If they give you any evidence at all of their earthly individuality, they give it through memory and in symbols. Those who have not outlived their earthly individuality can give a very clear expression of it, because they still retain it; but when they have done with it — gone beyond, outlived it — it is quite another thing. You cannot talk to me as you could in childhood. I cannot talk to you as I would in childhood, but yet you say you are the same person. Now, that is not so. You are quite another being. If your identity depended upon outward expression, surely the identity which belonged to you and to me is ours no longer. We are constantly passing through changes, and each one takes something of what we had and substitutes something we have not had before.
« Then we are changing our individuality every day. For instance, a man may this season live in a certain political individuality; he may be wedded heart and soul to the republican party. All his political interests may turn in that direction. By and by he begins to see that there is a something better. He begins to change his views, again to revolve, and he at length loses that particular individuality and gains another. And his friends who knew him last year as a republican, this year know him as quite another thing. Ô, yes, you are constantly changing; and for my own part I thank God for it. I would not revolve in a half bushel throughout eternity, not if I could. I do not expect to retain the same views of anything -of heaven, of myself, or of God -years in the future that I retain now.
« In regard to the letters addressed to spirits, this is almost always done by proxy. For instance, one spirit is selected who can, at the time, best come into rapport with the medium. That spirit receives the answers that those called upon may be disposed to or can give. In some instances they are very indistinct, because they cannot understand what they should do in the matter. Others are very distinct, because they know all about the modus operaandi, and come very near, or in rapport, with the medium. Sometimes the spirit called upon in the letter comes in direct rapport, and answers the letter; but this is the exception, not the rule — Let me illustrate more perfectly. Fancy yourself in an assembly acting as scribe, receiving answers to questions that may have been put by some one in the assembly or out of it. For instance, Mrs. B. says in her letter, " My dear husband, can you respond to my call?" The spirit scribe calls upon that person. If they are present and can answer, of course they do. If they are absent, generally no reply is written upon the letter. Or, if present, perhaps they give an indefinite answer. Sometimes they do not know how to answer the questions half so well as any one in the audience would; and yet you suppose, many of you, because they are freed from mortality they are endowed with wisdom concerning all matters that belong to you here. It is not so. Whatever they know concerning your earthly affairs, they must know through distinct mediumistic lines of thought and intelligence, and in no other way' Now, then, considering this to be a scientific fact — which it is — you should not wonder at the vagueness and indistinctness of many of the answers that are given to your letters. It depends entirely on the condition of the subject, the person called upon, and the person who has dictated the question. It is a triune affair, and if one happens to be faulty, the others must be correspondingly so.
« You may ask yourself « If there are two distinct individualities, one material and the other spiritual, of course the sounds that emanate from spiritual forms do not reach us externally. How, then, do we take cognizance of them? ». The answer is You are all spiritual mediums, every one of you, and in this sense: Your spiritual individualities are constantly taking more or less cognizance of the things that belong to the spirit-world.
« That individuality is more in rapport with the spirit-world than with this, more in rapport with higher things than with the things of this life. Therefore when holy thoughts steal over you, thoughts of some dear, absent one, there is a communion then going on between two spirits. The individuality of your spirit has called to the individuality of the friend in the spirit-land, and nine times out of ten there must be a response.
« You have two thoroughly distinct individualities. One takes cognizance of the things of the other life — is shaped by those things; THE OTHER TAKES COGNIZANCE OF THE THINGS OF THIS LIFE, AND IS SHAPED BY THESE. Both are distinct. One belongs to your spirit, THE OTHER TO YOUR ANIMAL EXISTENCE.
« The spirit is constantly passing through different, changes, gradations of mind, as well as matter. There seems to be no special time appointed for any definite change to come to any spirit. These come in accordance with the needs of the spirit always.
« The peculiar characteristics of the mortal dwelling-place of the spirit are carried by the spirit to the spirit-world, consequently the American is the American still, the Scotchman is the Scotchman still, the Negro is still the Negro, the Indian is still the Indian. To be sure there is a very great difference between American spiritual and American physical life, yet when resolved to characteristics, we find them almost identical. It will be very easy for you to detect one of your own nationality even after death. »
- THE ONENESS OR LAW ONE :
The oneness idea is simply about unity. Applied to the personnality, it is a personality which is not scattered all over the places — Think about the « Multi-personality disorder » of those using many pseudonymes on Internet forums ! :-)) — If you think about duality, duplicity, falsehood, separatedness, divisions, intolerance, racial discrimination, or discrimination against the feminin gender, discrimination against the ETs, discrimination against the spirits, the darkness, then at the opposed side you have : the unity (unity of personnality, and unity or cosmic brotherhood with all the living creatures of the universe), the light, and the truthfulness.
Applied to groups of Humans, it is about co-operation. The Unification is solidarity. We are all linked together and we all need each other.
« Darkness is a mental condition, it is not an atmospheric condition. You have thousands, millions of souls on the earth who are in darkness, just the same kind of darkness — notwithstanding the sun may shine ever so brightly — that exists with souls after death. It is precisely the same. They do not understand themselves; they do not understand their surroundings; they do not seem to know what they had better do to gain happiness. They desire it, but know not how to reach it. That is the very worst kind of darkness ».
If there is difficulty in our societies, it creates difficulty for the cosmos, that’s why the Lightworkers are all working together, in unity, with the spirits guides and the extraterrestrials civilisations.
The Spirit guides are ONE because they are one and same family and are all working in co-operation for the same purpose : the spiritualisation, the uplifting of the humanity. They have the same objective. the Order of Eternal Progress is an organization corresponding to that which has lately been instituted in our mortal world, has been in process of action in the spirit-world for a long, long series of ages, and through certain mediumistic minds certain ideas have been transmitted to us in mortal, and we are just beginning to put forth in active life.
Here below, another exerpt from spirits :
« There is not one that is better than the other. It is important to understand that amongst all that exist upon Planet Earth, there is none which is in truth more superior or less equal. When we say this, we speak of the soul. And if you look within the soul, you will find that each soul is a particle of divinity. While on the exterior, different people might not look equal, within their souls they are indeed equal. There is none among you that is not equal - and we speak of FEELING AND EMOTION. It is important to have this understanding.
All people have feelings, and feel everything as much as others, even if they seem not to. The difficulty with Earth has been not only the inequality of black people, yellow people, red people, but also of THE FEMALES of all peoples. It is important to understand that you cannot set a rule. Neither a man nor a woman can set a rule, and say that "This is the way that it is to be". We do not set these rules: it was done by those on Earth IN ORDER TO CONTROL, TO MANIPULATE, AND TO USE OTHERS. This has not been done by the human male alone: it has been done also, in some groups, by the female. We wish you to know that a man, regardless of his background, has the feeling that a woman also has. You cannot set aside a woman and say "This is a woman" and a man, and say "This is a man". For each is a woman and a man. This has been the greatest difficulty - as it has been with people's attitudes toward other people of other races. It is only at this time that both reach true blending, and that is why we have requested that there is work in unison between males and females. IT IS IMPORTANT TO BRING THE EGO INTO CONTROL, and to have the understanding that all others are equal. All humans have an equal claim. We cannot have ego and division in these next days: there must be cleansing within those that create the poison for all. There must be the understanding that if there is difficulty in your societies, it creates difficulty for the cosmos.
The female gender on Planet Earth has antennae of greater sensitivity to the knowledge of the internal workings of humankind. The male antennae view the surface, not always the inner reality.
You have within you resources and energies. You have within you a mind, and you also have love surrounding you. To begin to think of great complexities in your hour of stress creates more complexities. To put things into action, do not attempt to do everything, but do one step at each time. Remove yourself from yourself, think not of yourself and your stress: detach yourself, detach yourself from your family, your friends and associates in emotion, detach from all in emotion. Think, for you have that ability, that you are performing a service, or that you are performing upon a stage, and do this with each step. It is important to begin, not to be concerned with difficulties. When you begin, you will see the great challenge it is for you, and it will occupy you, it will give you strength and fortitude. It will keep your mind in a situation of flux, not stuckness, so you may then think in clearness. You have created a situation that was created by you, therefore you can uncreate it, for you have that ability ».
