If you will think now, you will see that there are also other planes which are not so conducive to a general and a better way of life. These negative planes are called the astral worlds; and there are found people who have not lived a completely positive life at sometime in their spiritual evolution. Because of the lack of fundamental knowledge and a cohesive relationship to life, they will revolve into these lower dimensions. Sometimes, of course, these individuals assume distorted personalities which defy description. They are born from the ranks of people who have lived on your earth planes as murderers, thieves, and various mental and physical prostitutes of all kinds. They have continually reincarnated into these negative planes of expressions, and thus strengthened their thought patterns of life to such a point that they are almost demoniac, or, as they have sometimes been called, devils and other types of destructive sub-astral plane personalities.

To your earth people, may I say that a single destructive thought, such as fear, hate, jealousy, rage or envy, will immediately tune you in, as it were, (using the vernacular of the earth scientist) to thousands or perhaps even millions of these lower earth plane astral entities. Were it not for your protective and guiding forces, you would almost immediately be overwhelmed. This explanation conveys to you how these protective forces do break down at times after one’s continued indulgences in negations, such as vengeful or hateful thoughts; and when the break occurs, a lurking entity may come in to take possession, project the individual from his own body, and use his body as an instrument of murder and destruction. You have read of accounts in your daily newspaper in which someone seemingly committed some heinous crime in a blacked out condition, and awakened to find the victim before him.

The psychiatrist of today does not deal in these pertinent facts; he refuses to acknowledge the dominating factors which relate man to his life upon the earth plane. As I have said, it would be impossible for a single moment for a person to sustain life upon the earth plane if it were not for the continual flow of energy into his body from the Central Divine Vortex. This, I believe, has been explained to you in other writings and in other chapters; and I need not go to any length in a dissertation to explain the process by which this energy flows into the body. It is misalignment of this ever-permeating force into your bodies which will cause diseased conditions which are termed incurable and of which your earth doctor or scientist knows little or nothing. The physician is continually looking for the symptoms of the incurable diseases in the physical or the human body, in which they are not, and cannot be cured. And so until some future day when the earth doctor becomes clairvoyant, and is able to peer into the past or into the akashic record of the individual under observation, he will have little or no success with these conditions. Nor will the high rate of insanity or mental aberrations which are confined in your mental institutions be lessened. In fact, as you know from statistics, the load is increasing daily. It is estimated that at least one person in every sixteen is badly in need of mental treatment today. The way of life on the earth planet at the present time is not conducive to any lengthy or enjoyable state of peace of mind.

There are innumerable compensations in your daily life today which give rise to frustrations and eventually to neurotic conditions, and must in some way be adjusted or compensated for. The earth doctor or psychiatrist has taken only a partial step in the evaluation of these psychiatric conditions. He may have instituted himself into such position by the use of technical nomenclature and terminology of words that he has constructed for himself a dimensional world within a world, which is a superimposed facility of knowledge and wisdom which he actually does not possess. I am not in any sense of the word chiding or mentally castigating any of the earth scientists at the present time. I am merely pointing out these things so that they may be interwoven into your future daily lives.

The patients whom you now see in the wards about you will, in a few day’s time, disappear into other worlds and other planes, and will be replaced by a continually emerging stream of other badly malformed wrecks from the astral worlds and those before you are but a small fraction of those who are thus cared for in other portions of this great city. If we were to explore some of these other wards, you would be shocked almost beyond the point of sanity in viewing some of these badly malformed wrecks which have been brought to us; and so for this particular purpose at this time, I shall not endeavor to show you any of them. However, I may say that some of the things which you find in your penal institutions on your earth plane are but mild in comparison to what their actual psychic bodies in their malformed conditions are when they arrive here on this side of life in their spiritual sense. In some way they defy description; and, as I have said, they would completely nauseate you to a point where you might be seriously affected mentally.
