Part Two: Theocracy
Parts two and three of WiH are presented as a dialog between my spirit guides and me.
However, I wish to make it clear that very little of the material presented here was channeled in a single session.
I would receive a few hundred words by automatic writing while in a fairly deep trance-state, then I would rewrite it while in a normal state of consciousness.
Later, I would go back into trance to transmit the edited text to my spirit guides, and they would suggest corrections and additions.
This process, repeated over and over, produced the dialog you are about to read.
My spirit guides are responsible for the content and wording of both the questions and the answers.
This dialog starts with their answer to my request for knowledge of the Great Secret…
A. The spiritual beings worshiped as gods by many religious groups are impostors.
They are nothing more than the disembodied spirits of human beings who refuse to reincarnate.
They remain on the astral plane, where they exercise power over other spirits and over living people.
We call them “Theocrats,” a name also used to describe the ancient Egyptian Pharaohs and other earthly rulers who justified their demand for absolute political power by posing as divine beings.
The concept that gods are impostors is the first postulate of a theory that provides explicit answers for almost any question about the nature of spiritual reality.
Part of this theory is scientific. It explains what the soul is made of and how it functions.
It also explains how the:
- body
- mind
- soul
are inter-related and how psychic powers operate.
The rest of the theory is political.
It describes the political organization of spirits on the astral plane, and the relationships that different factions of disembodied spirits have with living people.
The Theocrats are violating natural laws when they refuse to reincarnate.
The souls of all living beings are constructed to incarnate and draw energy from the physical body.
This is the only natural and efficient way in which the soul can get the vital energy it needs to function and regenerate itself.
Although the mechanics of this process are quite complicated, we will explain them in some detail to allow you to understand the rest of the theory.
The soul is actually an astral body, made up of a special form of matter.
This matter is composed of subatomic particles like ordinary matter, but with different properties.
Let us call this special form of matter astral matter, and the ordinary form physical matter.
The subatomic particles that compose astral matter have different properties from the particles that compose physical matter.
Physicists on Earth have named and described some of these properties, such as:
- mass
- spin
- electrical charge
You also have terms like “charm” in your vocabulary for properties the scientific community apparently understands much less clearly.
The principal difference between astral matter and physical matter is that all astral subatomic particles possess much less mass than equivalent particles of physical matter.
The charges and the mass ratios of the particles of astral atoms are about the same as those of physical atoms.
In other words, the particles that compose the nucleus of an atom of astral matter have a positive or neutral electrical charge and their mass is greater than that of the negatively charged particles that revolve around the nucleus.
However, the astral subatomic particles equivalent to physical protons and neutrons are much less massive than physical electrons.
Since physicists often describe physical electrons as having “negligible mass” compared with physical protons and neutrons, this means that the total mass of astral atoms is extremely small.
Q. How can astral matter exist in the presence of physical matter?
Why don’t the tiny astral atoms simply get sucked in by the gravitational attraction of the physical atoms and end up orbiting them the way electrons do?
A. Astral subatomic particles have a different characteristic that determines gravitational attraction.
They are attracted by gravity to each other but not to particles of physical matter.
In fact, the astral atoms and molecules that make up the soul occupy the same space as the physical matter that makes up the body.
Both kinds of matter are mostly empty space between particles anyway, and since there is no gravitational attraction between the two kinds of matter, the molecules simply slip by one another.
This also explains people’s inability to see astral matter or detect it with physical laboratory instruments.
Energy also exists in two different forms, physical energy and astral energy.
The photons that make up the two types again have different characteristics.
Under most circumstances, astral photons do not react with physical subatomic particles.
Nor do physical photons react with astral particles.
However, the exception is important.
Q. You’re saying that light and other electromagnetic energy do not affect astral matter. Does this mean that psychic energy is not in the electromagnetic spectrum at all, but in a different one?
A. Yes.
Advanced civilizations possess a unified field theory that describes the relationship between the two, but we can’t describe it to you right now.
What’s important in this discussion is that psychic or astral energy normally works only on astral matter.
It does not produce physical or chemical changes in physical matter.
The reverse is also true.
Q. How does psychokinesis work then, or does it exist at all?
A. It exists, but it’s nothing like what you now think.
In fact, your whole concept of the nature of psychic powers is a jumble of oversimplifications and errors.
Psychokinesis does not move or change physical matter directly but can do so by working through the links between physical and astral matter.
These links are the “Secret of Life.”
The difference between living and non-living matter is that living matter is linked to astral matter but non-living matter is not.
Complex organic molecules of physical matter can form a chemical bond with similarly constructed molecules of astral matter, and the resulting structure shows the characteristics of life: irritability and the ability to reproduce.
This process is very complicated, and your knowledge of physics is not adequate to understand all it completely.
Here’s an attempt to explain why astral matter can react chemically with physical matter only within living molecules and not within simpler molecules.
It has to do with the vibrational frequencies of photons produced when electrons of both physical and astral matter change energy levels within complex organic molecules.
These frequencies are the same allowing physical photons to convert to astral and vice-versa.
This happens only in certain kinds of molecules, not in all.
These energy conversions allow a sort of chemical bonding to occur if the two molecules are similar enough.
Q. Does this mean that astral matter – in other words, the soul – plays a part in cell division?
A. Yes, in the whole genetic process: it affects the reduplication of DNA.
It also affects many different aspects of cell metabolism.
And the breaking of the molecular bonds between physical molecules and astral molecules causes the phenomenon commonly called “death“.
Q. How does this tie in with the idea that the body supplies the energy to nourish the soul?
A. Some of the electromagnetic energy generated chemically by the cell’s metabolic processes is converted into astral energy by the links between the physical and astral molecules.
This energy flows into the astral matter that composes the soul, powering its various functions and providing the raw material for regeneration of its astral matter.
In other words, some electro-magnetic energy is converted into astral energy, passed into the soul, and converted into astral matter there to perform cellular growth and repairs.
The astral plane is actually higher on an ecological energy chain than the Earth plane, which means it receives less total usable energy.
Plants convert solar energy into chemical energy.
When animals eat the plants, they absorb this energy and use most of it in growth, repair of tissues, moving around, and other activities.
However, some of it is also converted into astral energy and passed into the soul.
Since each of these energy conversion processes is less than completely efficient, each link in the energy chain has access to less total energy than the one below it.
Q. The impression of the human soul I get from this is that it’s exactly the same size and shape as the body, linked to it cell-by-cell and molecule-by-molecule.
This is very different from my previous concept, which was that it is attached to the body at only one point through the traditional “silver cord.”
Please explain.
A. Human beings actually have two souls, not one.
So do all other animals; but plants have only one.
The soul we’ve been talking about so far is a primitive structure, an astral body that is merely an analog of the physical body.
It is alive in the sense that it is made up of molecules of living astral matter, but it is not sentient.
It has a nervous system but not a mind.
The true soul, the one you were just talking about, is a separate structure of astral matter.
Using the term “somatic soul” for the primitive soul linked cell-by-cell to the body and “astral soul” for the other will make it easier to discuss this subject.
The astral soul is a body of astral matter linked to the somatic soul’s nervous system by what you call the silver cord.
This is structured like a segment of plant root with feeder roots at both ends.
The feeders at one end tap into the somatic soul’s nervous system; those at the other end tap into the astral soul’s nervous system.
Energy flows into the astral soul from the somatic soul and indirectly from the body through this cord.
Energy flowing through the silver cord is the astral soul’s only truly efficient source of nourishment.
Q. This makes sense.
I take it, then, that the silver cord breaks when the body dies, leaving the astral soul free.
A. Correct.
Remember, though, that the astral soul loses its best source of energy when it separates from the body.
By contrast, when the body dies, the somatic soul does not also separate and live on independently.
It simply decomposes when the body decomposes.
Remember, it’s very closely linked to the body with chemical bonds.
Q. I conclude from this that a new somatic soul is created during the embryological development of every new human being?
A. Correct.
In fact, a cell of living physical matter can’t divide unless the astral cell linked to it also divides.
Living cells and molecules can exist only in pairs, one physical, and one astral.
This is why many complex organic molecules undergo chemical reactions differently in living cells from the way they do in a test tube.
Q. I assume, then, that reincarnation occurs when an existing astral soul attaches itself to the developing somatic soul of a fetus.
You’ve also given a reason why the astral soul needs to reincarnate: to link itself to a source of vital energy and nourishment.
Where in the process of embryological development does this occur?
A. There are two very different reincarnation processes.
The commonest occurs even before conception.
Sexual activity often attracts a nearby spirit and causes a temporary attachment to a woman’s somatic soul at the genital chakra.
(The same attachment can happen to a man, but it generally lasts only a few minutes, because the attachment point in a male’s somatic soul is vestigial, whereas the female’s is fully functional.)
The attachment can last up to about twenty-four hours; and if conception occurs during this time, some of the hormonal secretions that accompany the process cause the woman’s nervous system to send energy to her somatic soul that keeps the attachment intact through the entire pregnancy.
Late in pregnancy, when the somatic soul of the fetus becomes sufficiently developed, another hormonal change causes the mother’s genital chakra to reject the link to the attached soul, which then remains attached only to the fetus.
Q. I think this information might also explain why students of sex magic in both the East and the West have written so much about the relationship between the female menstrual cycle and various psychic and spiritual phenomena.
Most of them have noticed that kundalini energies vary significantly in both quantity and nature at various points during the cycle, and that there is also a connection to mediumship and even possession.
A. Yes, this information can help magicians work out better theoretical explanations for the mechanisms of such phenomena.
At present, the theories they use to explain their observed data are among the most complex and mystical hypotheses you’ll find in occult books.
This same concept should also be useful to people trying to explain some of the phenomena described by Whitley Strieber in Communion:
women experiencing phantom pregnancies after “UFO abduction” experiences, etc.
To get back to our discussion of the mechanisms of reincarnation, the primitive, involuntary form of reincarnation occurs in many of the more intelligent types of “lower animals,” and it happens spontaneously to any human soul at a relatively low state of psychic development who happens to come close to a couple having intercourse.
Although it allows the soul to survive death, it has serious disadvantages for both mother and child.
All during her pregnancy the mother suffers serious psychic energy imbalances, which can cause her both mental and physical illness.
These are usually more uncomfortable than they are dangerous, but the damage suffered by the attached astral soul is often much more serious.
Signals intended for the mother’s astral soul are also transmitted into the attached soul, and they usually scramble the contents of its astral mind quite badly.
For this reason, few people who reincarnate by this method show the typical characteristics of the twice born:
past-life memories, precocious intellectual or psychic development, etc.
Q. What happens if an existing astral soul doesn’t link to the mother’s somatic soul?
Does this cause an early miscarriage?
Recent medical evidence shows that about half of all pregnancies terminate spontaneously within a week or two after conception; since an early miscarriage of this type closely resembles normal menstruation, the woman isn’t aware she was ever pregnant.
A. This has nothing to do with reincarnation, but has purely physical causes.
Every human being has to have an astral soul.
If an existing astral soul is not already attached to the mother, the fetus starts generating an astral soul of its own late in pregnancy.
At this point, two things can happen.
Either a late reincarnation can occur, or the baby is born with a completely new soul, spontaneously created during its embryonic development.
The people the Hindus call “twice born” are those in which an astral soul at a reasonably high state of development has incarnated shortly before or after birth, a process that keeps the infant from developing its own new soul.
On the average, people with twice-born souls have a head start over those with new souls or souls received through early reincarnation.
The astral soul of a twice-born person transfers memories into the physical mind during infancy and childhood that,
“Teach it how to learn.”
This is equivalent to raising the person’s effective intelligence and creativity.
Energy to nourish the soul flows from the body through the somatic soul to the astral soul, but there are smaller energy flows both ways that convey information.
The astral souls of the twice born give them a head start by feeding valuable information into the physical mind.
Q. Why do the Theocrats refuse to reincarnate?
A. Remember Satan in Milton’s “Paradise Lost” saying, “Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven”?
The Theocrats are spirits with great knowledge and psychic power.
They are a sort of ruling class on the astral plane, and they don’t want to give up their power and privilege by reincarnating.
Highly advanced souls who aren’t Theocrats reincarnate and take the chance that their soul can properly educate their new mind, and that their next reincarnation will be a pleasant and valuable one.
But it still involves taking a chance: the body might have hidden flaws that they don’t detect before incarnating, or the child’s earthly environment can take an unforeseen turn for the worse.
Also, the late reincarnation process itself is as traumatic as the physical ordeals of giving birth or being born.
This trauma erases many of the memories stored in the astral soul and damages the programming that governs the astral soul’s functioning.
The Theocrats are too selfish and egotistical to take these chances, even though the alternative is extremely immoral.
Another reason why Theocrats don’t want to reincarnate is that human beings have two minds as well as two souls.
One mind is in the physical body’s brain, the other is in the astral soul, and both have separate consciousness.
Normally, the astral mind is conscious while the body sleeps and unconscious while the physical mind is awake.
The two are conscious simultaneously only during certain states of altered consciousness.
This “time-sharing” is humiliating for the astral mind’s ego, which considers itself superior to that of the physical mind.
Theocrats want total consciousness for their astral ego, in addition to power over other spirits.
This brings us to one of the most important things we have to tell you in this whole series of communications.
The nourishment that disembodied spirits receive from living people as radiant psychic energy is not enough to sustain them by itself.
This is why all non-Theocratic spirits reincarnate within ten to fifty years after physical death:
if they don’t, the astral soul starts to degenerate because of a sort of malnutrition.
The astral matter that makes up its tissues can’t regenerate itself properly and reverse the effects of entropy.
So, the choice is reincarnation or:
- illness
- insanity
- death
The Theocrats have found an alternative to this, but it is an evil one:
cannibalism.
They use their telepathic powers to hypnotize spirits less highly developed than they are; then they attach the silver cord to them just as if the other astral soul were the somatic soul of an infant.
They can draw out enough energy this way to sustain themselves on the astral plane indefinitely, but the process destroys the other spirit.
Q. This is very frightening. Can they do this to just any other spirit, and can they do it to an astral soul incarnated in a body?
A. Fortunately, no to both. If they could, neither you nor we would be here talking about it.
The Theocrats would have eaten up all of us just to get rid of us.
They claim to be gods, but their powers are actually quite limited.
Some of them are both more knowledgeable and psychically more powerful than most of the rest of us, living and disembodied, but they are far from omnipotent.
They can’t damage an embodied soul or override its conscious will, and they usually can’t capture and devour disembodied souls who resist them, except for the weak and untrained ones that mediums call “lost souls.”
And even the majority of lost souls are capable of random psychokinetic bursts that allow them to flee the Theocrats when threatened.
The Theocrats obtain victims by posing as gods and persuading religious believers to enter their bands by promising them “eternal bliss in Heaven.”
