Practical Metaphysics
BEFORE
Dust or lens reflections? Yes, I have thought about that possibility. I found orbs in my friend's room, so decided to transcend them. Here are the before and after photos. This requires special training for those Reiki channels who have studied Reiki Level 3 (i.e. those working with Reiki Master energy).
Sample affirmation: By the law and the light of the Christ Energy, with the help of the love and the grace of God, I bid all surrogations, static and negative, lesser energies and entities to leave this place, (house , unit, home), (this person, this ……) and go to the light or from whence you have come.
Say 3 times or more.
A vortex of watery, shimmering, white light is observed with the third eye descending from the ceiling. After attracting the orbs, it ascends and disappears, leaving a cleaner and lighter atmosphere in the room.
AFTER
Haunted Places
The photos below are of a small storage room in an Asian hospital. A foul stench was observed momentarily while the entities were transcended. Two energy vortexes were located in the vicinity and the energies were cleansed. Disembodied entities are drawn to these vortexes.

"Far above these vaults, in the Temple itself, there were costly vessels of gold and silver, splendid gems and wonderful carvings on ivory, and precious stones. The plunder of the Temple above, without any of the wealth concealed beneath in its vaults, would have made the ransom of a King. The building was of magnificent proportions, and of very beautiful workmanship. Every pillar was elaborately carved, and every foot of the roof inlaid with beautiful polished wood and precious stones, while the variegated marble of the pavement was a marvel of beauty in design and color. There were flowers laid as tributary offerings by the ignorant worshippers of these coarse symbols of their Gods. Sweet scented woods and fragrant roots were burning continually on the altars, and the smoke which hung like a misty veil about the altars and the worshippers gave an air of religious mystery to the scene.
Thus would the Temple itself have appeared to mortal sight. But to the eyes of a Spirit, it was very different. The beauty of the building was marred by unsightly rents and fissures in the spiritual counterpart of the Walls. The marble pavement was stained and blackened by the foul deeds that had been done by those who made the Temple their dwelling place. The gold was cankered, and the luster of the jewels was dimmed by the violence of the means through which they had been wrested from their owners, and seized for the enrichment of the Temple. The walls seemed hung with filmy draperies, whereon were depicted the shameless lives of many of those who called themselves the Prophets and teachers, the Priests and mediums, who stood as mediators between the simple populace and the Gods they sought to Worship.
The groves of sacred trees, designed to protect the Sensitives from the approach of the wandering hill tribes that dwelt around, might serve that purpose, but they no longer served any other, for in them there lurked a host of unclean creatures, the creations of the evil lives of those who had made Temple and Sensitives alike their prey. Around the Temple itself there hung a cloud of spiritual darkness that resembled the thunder Clouds of night when the heavy atmosphere threatens at any moment to break forth into a violent storm. The thought emanations from the Temple of Amurath had resembled muddy water, those from this Temple were like a sea of mud and slime, and I did not desire to penetrate it, even had it been possible for me to do so.
Here and there, I saw a faint gleam of light, like a feeble candle striving to shine through a screen of smoked glass, and I knew that where these lights shone there was still to be found some mortal whose spiritual condition had not been contaminated by the foulness of his surroundings, and whose Soul struggled still to keep alight the lamp of purity and truth.
A mutilated and perverted semblance of the old religious faith was practiced here. The Oracles were still invoked, and the Gods besought to communicate with men. But the results that were obtained bore as much resemblance to the inspirations of the Higher Spirits as did the hideous images in the Temple to the Gods they were thought to represent; man-made and earth suggested images, even as the inspirations were those of the horrible denizens of the Earth and Astral Planes.
The absurd ordinances, the horrible sacrifices, the revolting practices, the grotesque beliefs, the fantastic theories, that had crept into the teaching of this religion were all excrescences fastened one by one upon the simple purity of the teachings of its founder, and were suggested by the imperfect visions of those Sensitives who could only behold the Astral Plane or the Earth-bound Spirits around them. And as the horrible beings which appeared under the conditions of spiritual communication existing in this Temple were mistaken for the Gods and Devils of the Spirit World, so the distorted glimpses and the twisted teachings which arose from the same cause were mistaken for the revelations of the Almighty. Things which were intended for mere symbols of certain teachings were mistaken for the personifications of the Deities, and endowed with a sacred character never intended to be ascribed to them. The wild utterances of Sensitives obsessed by one or other of the unhappy Spirits that haunted the Temple were received as answers from the Gods, and Divine commands to be acted upon with unquestioning faith, till the confusion and error, the horrible teachings and cruel practices of which that Temple became the centre were so great that only the total destruction, the leveling with the dust of such a focus of iniquity, could free the poor, simple, ignorant people who worshipped at so false a shrine from the further prolongation of such a state of moral and intellectual darkness.
Those who gaze regretfully upon the ruins of some of these mighty monuments of the Past, and wonder why so fair a thing was given over to destruction and decay, can scarce realize the stupendous forces that were at work in the Spiritual World ere the final downfall of the fallacious system which it embodied was accomplished, and the Earth freed from the contamination of the poison it had disseminated on every side. Let not any man yield too readily the glamour with which time enshrouds the memory of the past. Let it not be imagined that the early ages of the World were the ages of unmixed innocence, simplicity and purity. For the less the intellect of man is developed the less can he perceive the grossness of the errors and the spiritual darkness that surround him. In those early ages which some people admire, the abuses and the tyrannies, were unchecked by the restraining influence which education exercises over the unbridled passions of mankind, and the mistakes and fallacies of the various theories were undetected because man’s knowledge of the true nature of himself and his surroundings was limited by the conditions under which he lived. It is true that the errors of the present day are numerous and great enough, but they are as pigeons’ eggs beside the rocs’ eggs of the Past.
I first noticed that the Sensitives in this Temple were with one exception all of very tender years. The age of the oldest did not exceed twenty summers, while the majority were from fourteen to fifteen. In the Temple of Amurath, on the contrary, some of the seers attained to a fairly advanced period of life ere the change called Death overtook their mortal frames. For although the development of the highest forms of mediumship does tend to shorten the mortal life, by rendering the hold of the Sensitive upon materiality less secure, the lower forms (or degrees) of this power may be developed and exercised with very little danger or difficulty, beyond the inconveniences which arise from the extreme sensitiveness to all unsuitable or antagonistic influences which is the result of unveiling these abnormal powers. This, however, only applies to mediums of any class and every degree of power while these gifts are exercised amidst pure surroundings. For the mediums of the lower degrees are exposed to very great danger indeed if they have developed or use their gifts amidst impure surroundings, as the description I am about to give of this Temple will show. As mediums of the highest class are very rare, and still fewer who possess these gifts are ready to resign all share in the pleasures and excitements of Earth life in order to develop and exercise their gifts, the number of persons who would be withdrawn from active life, ― were all those who are both willing and able to develop these high degrees of mediumship to do so, ― would still be very inconsiderable, and would make very little difference to the progress of the busy life of the world of mortal men. But that all those who do develop the highest degrees of power must entirely withdraw from active life is a doctrine which I most emphatically maintain. And for this reason: that the development of such powers can only be accomplished by rendering the mortal envelope so entirely penetrable by the Spirit within that it ceases to be any longer an adequate protection against the miasmic exhalations from the life of that Astral Plane which, as I have shown, completely enwraps the Earth with a mantle of semi-material beings, whose influence over mortals is in exact proportion to the closeness with which they can come en rapport with them, and to the thickness or thinness of the protecting envelope of the mortal body.
If, then, the Spiritual powers be so highly developed as to put the Sensitive into harmony with the conditions of the higher spheres, it follows that the exceeding thinness of the material veil which interposes between the Spirit and all forms of Astral life must expose it to daggers from which a more thickly shielded Spirit is protected. What these dangers are will best be shown in this narrative, and it was because these dangers were in part recognized by the older religions which practiced divination and kindred methods of Spirit communion, that the idea of secluding the mediums and protecting them from all contact with the outside world arose. Not as a means of mortifying the flesh, but as a protection to the over sensitive Spirit, was this system of seclusion first enjoined and the groves of sacred trees planted, in order that they might become an impassable barrier against the near approach of mortals who brought in their train many strange, Astral Beings who were attached to them by reason of the congeniality of their temperament. A magnet will attract and retain hold of an object just as long as its attractive force is the most powerful within that circle of attraction; but if a stronger magnet be brought close to the first the objects adhering to it will be drawn away and attach themselves to the stronger one.
Now, as a developed medium hath a stronger power of attraction for all things that pertain to Astral life than an undeveloped medium, it follows that any Astrals that are following the undeveloped medium will be attracted at once to the developed one the moment they are brought into close enough proximity to feel this superior attraction. Furthermore, as the development of a medium means the drawing away of a portion of that material element which imprisoned the magnetic aura, it follows that the aura of a developed medium will radiate its attractive force over a greater area than it would have done in an undeveloped condition, and thus it becomes necessary to interpose a wider and ever wider space between a medium and all doubtful surroundings, the higher and higher you push the degree of his development. If this is not done then the dangers which arise from the neglect of such a precaution must be in exact ratio to the increased sensibility of the uncovered Spirit. For though to a mortal eye no change in the mortal envelope has taken place, yet it is a fact that in a very highly developed Sensitive, the Spirit so thorough penetrates to the outer verge of every atom of its material body that it is really covered by the scantiest amount of materiality compatible with a continuance of its mortal existence.
To draw the Spirit so completely through, as one may express it, the mortal envelope is a work of extreme delicacy and difficulty, and the process is one few mortals have the patience to submit to. Once it has been done it becomes IMPOSSIBLE to restore the medium to his former condition of insensibility, except for a brief space of time; even as it is impossible for a Spirit who has so completely penetrated through his mortal envelope as to cast it off altogether and sever all ties to it, to again clothe himself in a replica of his Earthly body for any long period, and the more advanced a Spirit becomes, the more difficult it is for him to resume an Earthly vestment.
In watching the mediums of this Temple, I noticed that around each of them there were clustered not only various repulsive forms of Astral life, but many Spirits of a low type, whose evil visages and coarse sensual expressions told plainly what their Earthly habits of life had been. I saw that the Astral beings seemed to float in the auras of these degraded Spirits, and feed upon the foul magnetism that surrounded them, while the gross Spirits themselves fastened like vampires upon the unlucky Sensitives, and sucked their vitality away till they became languid and weak, and finally faded away and died without any specific ailment being discernible....
In all discussions as to the merits or demerits of trance mediumship, one cannot but feel that there is amongst many people a total misconception of the true meaning of the word trance, that term being applied to any and every variety of hypnotic condition and to all forms of suspension of the individual consciousness.
Strictly speaking, a trance should mean a condition of enchantment or delight; entrancing meaning to delight and uplift the spirit into a superior condition of sensation in which the Soul, raised above the limitations of the lower or animal plane of existence, wanders in conscious pleasure amidst the highest thought regions to which that Soul can gain access. In the words of John of Patmos, one may describe a true trance condition. John of Patmos visited a sphere with which he was mentally and magnetically in harmony, and what he saw was what such a Soul would enjoy were it released entirely from the earth body, not merely lifted up from his earthly environments for a brief period.
In the perfect trance condition the Soul retains a full and perfect consciousness of its own individuality, and is to all intents and purposes as much awake as when acting through the agency of its earthly body, while it possesses the added mental power which would be its attribute were it finally freed from the envelopment of that earthly envelope which, while it protects the Soul in Earth life, also dulls and deadens its finer perceptions and limits its power of mental vision and its ability to receive the thought waves transmitted from other minds.
The true "Master of Magic" is he who, having learnt all which can enable him to control mind incased in matter, can go one step higher and freeing himself from the limitations imposed by matter, roam at will into spheres too distant for the Soul to reach while clogged by its grosser envelope.
Furthermore, to take the Soul out of the body into the free upper regions of pure spirit life is to give it the same spiritual refreshment which climbing to the top of a high mountain or sailing upon the wide ocean gives to the tired, and jaded mortal to whom change of air often means a renewal of life.
Thought is a universal essence unbounded by any limitations of, time or space, but it is also in its nature like "Light," and capable of having its rays refracted and its illuminating powers obscured by the mass of material thought atoms which fill the atmosphere of planetary life even as the material dust particles affect the transmission of a ray of light.
The constant giving off and absorbing again of every shade and variety of mental and physical atoms is a part of the unceasing pulsation of the life with which an inhabited planet teems, and we maintain that, while there be some minds so powerful in their mental grasp of the thoughts transmitted to them and so clear and strong in their power of mental vision, that they can overcome many of the limitations produced by their earthly environments, yet even these lofty and powerful intellects would be enabled to wing their flight into still wider thought regions were they able to rise from their earthly body and, leaving it as the unconscious, unresponsive (because uninhabited) tabernacle of the Soul, travel into those farther mental spheres with which the degree of their mental development put them in harmony.
A perfect trance, then, should be the conscious flight of the Soul into a superior condition from which it ought to return strengthened and refreshed and capable of wider thoughts and nobler and freer actions and a stronger and more perfect possession of its own individuality. The true Seers of all ages who have left behind them knowledge which is as valuable now as when first given to the world, were Mystics who had mastered the true nature of the trance condition and to apply the word "trance" to all those exhibitions of semi-conscious mental aberrations of persons whose sensitiveness lays them open to the mesmeric control of either incarnate or excarnate minds, is to propagate an error which ought long ago to have been exploded.
With the spread of mediumistic development all and every variety and degree of subconscious conditions have come to be classed as "trances," yet they bear no more resemblance to the true trance of the developed Mystic of the older occult "Faiths" than does the sleep which is produced by the use of powerful narcotic drugs resemble that of healthy tired nature.
The hypnotically-induced trance is as pernicious to the Soul as would be the habitual use of narcotics to the body. Whether the hypnotizer (or, more correctly, the magnetizer) be in the flesh or out of it, the results are the same; an habitual use of magnetism to induce sleep or "trance" is an evil and one which it would require a whole volume to properly illustrate.
The wisest of spirit intelligences on both sides of life do not, then, use the magnetic forces to produce either trance or sleep, except as they would use a powerful medicine whose aid it was sometimes necessary to invoke but whose habitual use was an evil even more deadly than that which it was designed to cure.
The teachers of the Eastern schools study to enable their pupils to acquire the power of conscious spiritual communion while in the body? and the development of an equally conscious power of leaving the body while the conscious spirit is gaining rest and knowledge in a higher condition of existence. That the majority of medium have not yet acquired this perfect control is due to the fact that very few are ever able or willing to go through the process needful to gain this perfect mastery of their bodies. The majority do not even grasp the idea that there is any need for more development than they have already attained.
In the limits of a note, it is impossible to follow out this subject further, but since it is becoming an accepted fact that such things as "hypnotic” trances and hypnotic control exist, it would be well for thoughtful persons to give the subject an intelligent and careful consideration, regarding as a dangerous, as well as a useful and often beneficent attribute, this magnetic power which lies latent in so many people."
